guppygirl Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Didn't want to hijack CranberryGirl's thread, but I noticed that you mentioned you were trying to incorporate tallow bars to your line, which is something I've been trying to figure out how to do as well. Bar for bar, no matter how great I think one of my veggie bars turn out, I still love my AO bars so much more. Around here in No.KY, about 1/2 my customers care about veggie vs. animal. It's my online out-of-state customers that I'm not sure about.Was wondering if you (or anyone else for that matter) had brainstormed any marketing ideas.TIA!

Gypsyjen Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Guppy, one marketing idea I can think of is making an "old-fashioned" soap with tallow...like OMH with tallow...this would probably appeal to the country-lovin' folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Yeah, that's kind of the way I'm going. Trying to make a "ranch style" soap, since there are lots of ranches around here. I've been toying with a secondary line very specific to this area, have bought the web address but haven't done anything with it yet.

guppygirl Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Even though I'm not into "country" per se, I like the idea of "old-fashioned." I'm going to try to work with that. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Tallow is rendered from the hard fat found around the internal organs. It can be boiled down, (I add things to minimize the smell), to get lovely white hard tallow, or it can be store bought, where you get butters from, although I personally don't like the quality of this.HTHTracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
