I have been thinking for a while to start a soaping Co-Op (or at least I think it's a co-op 
).
I have custom soaps on my website, as I can do custom moulds and stamps, but like most soapers I have an area of soaping that I like the best - natural HP soaps with natural ingredients. I often get inquiries for custom soap but sometimes it is not within my specialist area.
I would like to gather up a group of soapers in Australia (and perhaps a separate US, Canada, UK, ect. sections so there is a greater choice of soapers) into a co-op with soapers who specialise in different areas of soap making like:
Goats Milk
Beer Soap
MP
HP
CP
Natural Soaps
Artistic/Cloured Soaps
Soap on a Rope
Animal Soaps
Baby Soaps
Wedding Soaps
Hotel Soaps
This way the customer can find someone who specializes in the particular soap they want custom ordered, I can help with any custom logo work and moulds/stamps at a very cheap price, and it will be a way for soapers to work together to get more exposure for their talents in a particular area. I guess that is the beauty of the co-op is that everyone helps everyone with their own special talents and everyone benefits.
I guess it's sort of like a referral system for soapers, as a joint advertising opportunity, as well as access discounted custom stamps and moulds for your custom orders.
What do you think?
Who would be interested?
I would be thinking of putting together a website perhaps as a sort of catalogue of soapers with their specialties with logos and links to website and descriptions of soaps and specialties.
