I was a part of a two day convention. I'd orginally purchased a table to give out information in my profession, not soap making, I shared a table with a job developer and a bookseller. I also had a wicked 24 hour flu bug.
When I first arrived I had a couple 911 emergencies with my outside business, a call out and a late employee, so since my booth neighbor at the convention was a book seller with a lot of merchandise I asked her to just fill up my area with her product until I could return and set up properly.
When I returned I set out a basket of soaps I'd purchased from www.naturalsoapwholesale.com. The cherry almond, mango and coconut, the smell was magnetic, then I put out 5 bars of my orange essential oil hp soap. All of mine sold out, it was actually perfered and a relative who brought my boxes in, stole 2 bars of my soap. I was both flattered and angry of course.
I handed out business cards and an ingredient list with every sale, made $100 and sold most of the basket.
Things I noticed, so many people with dry yucky skin who claimed Dove was the only thing they use. Talked to an older lady who remembered her mother making soap in the front yard from discarded cooking grease and how her mother told her it must be made during the full moon or it will not harden.
One question, I put all the soap in one basket unwrapped and offred it to people to hold and smell. This didn't seem an issue with anyone that the soap was being handled before it was sold, what do you guys think of that?
