After umpteen batches of soap, hours of research, giving gifts to family and friends as "test subjects", tweaking here and there, developing a favorite recipe for using all vegetable as well as one using some animal fats, I am ready to sell at our local farmer's market this spring. Here's the quandry: I have in the curing room (upstairs bedroom) over 400 bars of soap in various scents, colors, etc. I made a couple more batches today and want to make one more before day's end. How much do I need? I know it depends on the market and I will be the only "soaper" there and there haven't been soapers there in the recent past. The market is two days a week. My thought is, I have enough to start, but what if one sells out? I'm at least 4-6 weeks away from having more. How do you pros keep inventory? I understand you have a client base and/or experience with particular markets, but I hope you see my confusion. I continue to make soap and have 1000 bars that may or may not sell, or I stop now and have a shortage. Thoughts?
