I don't know, guys, but it seems like the more I learn about this biz the more I know I don't know! Those of you who have been nuturing me through kindergarten understand that I really just got into this last August, and I've been on fact-finding and creative missions ever since. (I do M & P, so most of you will consider me STILL in kindergarten, especially since I do very to-the-point M & P bars, not particularly artsy.) Still, a few months later, this is what I'm up to: I STILL have labeling issues, although I'm making it work for now. (Personally, I believe that anyone who has neither a graphics background nor the thousands of dollars to invest in a graphics design artist AND label printing probably has these issues, too.) Despite this, I've managed to get into a few retail stores, (amazingly enough), but some of the ones I want to pursue I CAN'T because NOW I understand I need $2 mil in product liability insurance AND UPC codes. FABULOUS. I've JUST NOW gotten to the point where my pricing structure has allowed me to be able to repurchase my supplies WITHOUT dumping extra money into my account AND I actually have a few bucks left in there. Not much, but a victory of sorts. It means I'm getting warmer! Still, even the craft shows (Howard Allen) seem to want this insurance as well. Yes, I know I can get it through the Soap Maker's Guild, (which I would like to join), but it would cost over 5 bills to get that! Suggestions, recommendations, Xanax?
Anyone dealt with these issues (insurance, UPC codes), and if so, eagerly awaiting detailed feedback. I'd send you a bar of soap, but you all already have PLENTY!
