Marketing Soap -- 5 Fast Ways To Sell Handmade Soap

Marketing soap as a small scale business is one of the easiest ways to start a small part-time business. Let's face it, soap making is a great hobby and maybe you've thought about trying to sell soap as a business. Maybe you wonder how to get started and where you can sell it.

Here's what we found as we made and sold tens of thousands of bars of natural soap as a part-time little family business.

Fast Way 1 -- Sell it at festivals...

There they are... thousands of people just walking around looking for fun and entertainment. Some of them are looking for homemade soap. Be there with a story and attractive products and they will buy... sometimes by the armload. Did you know that the average person can stack ten four ounce bars of soap on their upper arm? Know how I know? See, it's far easier to move large volumes of soap if you get to talk to many people in a short time span. It is somewhat of a numbers game. More lookers means more sales if the lookers are really interested at all.

Fast Way 2 -- A little ten cent brochure...

Once you have a customer give them a little brochure you just printed on your printer. Tell what you have and how to get it... They will mail it back to you or give you a call... Easy sales are repeat sales.

Fast Way 3 -- The Internet works...

Just a little website that's like an on-line brochure will do. Give folks a way to contact you and they will buy... This is just another easy way to stay in contact with customers. It's a way to follow up with happy users of what you make and provide an easy method to get more of what you have to sell.

Fast Way 4 -- Keep all those addresses...

The addresses of your customers are like gold. Just send them a little brochure or catalog. They will buy again if your products are top quality. It's repeat sales and that's the easy way.

Fast Way 5 -- Shops want your soap...

Want to sell a hundred bars at a time? That's what shops will buy. Make sure you have a volume discount price that will work for you. Shops will call you or you can call them. Volume sales are nice and easy too.

Marketing soap on a small scale is easy. If only you didn't have to make all that soap... That can be a nice problem to have...
