Market Trends & News

[Cellador]

Hi everyone! I am planning on starting a soap business sometime in the next 1.5-2 years, so I'm trying to think ahead on some things.
Does anyone have any suggestions for reading-up on the latest bath & body market trends, hot products & fragrances, etc? Are there any sites you use as tools for market research?

WSP- Wholesale Supplies Plus has Handmade Magazine which keeps up with market trends and hot products. You can access this on line too. There are so many resources on that site.

Thanks! I do look at the WSP magazine on a regular basis to check-out their tips, but I always wonder how much of their market info is actually researched vs. created to sell more products. I did some searching online & there are a couple of sites with some interesting info.
