Hi, I've been making soap for about 2 years, selling just at craft fairs, family and friends.for about 6 months now.I sell just bars of soap.. but have been thinking about adding creams, lotions and other to my b/b. Just wanted to know if any of you sell just bars and how your doing. thanks

Hi morningstar, I'm not a soaper...but I think you should go for it. Start out with adding one thing to your line and go from there. HTH

i do candles, soap, lotion sprays, and lip balms i'm testing out a couple new things to add too. i definitly reccomend adding to the line. none of my stuff sells well enough alone to make anything out of it i currently offer 4 soaps one soap being a best seller, you never know whats gonna sell for you at one time sometimes the main thing that sells is the soap other times just the lip balms and candles. you never know so having a wide range of products in a range of prices will help you out i have stuff starting at $3 and my highest priced item is $15 it works cause no matter what people usualyl find something like that. i know that doesn't answer your question but.. its someting

We sell a hell of a lot more soap than candles, mainly because everyone's gotta bathe. Our one independant seller has no problems moving scores of soap bars each week. The best thing to do is get matching sets put together, try gift baskets and the like and people will love 'em.
