Displaying Melt & Pour in Public

Ahhh, sorry I thought that jelly babies were worldwide. They are gummy sweets (candy) that we have here in the UK. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jelly_baby

Oh! We call these "gummy bears" in the US!

packaging soap

I have found the most cost efficient way to go is to use plastic wrap...it sticks to itself and then I use the regular white address labels and add colors to the labels for my soaps. That way people can see what they want and they can smell through the plastic.

They're not the same, the jelly babies are a cross between gummy bears and jelly beans to compare them to US candy.

Agree with Stevie 100%.

I don't do too many shows..but I know people like to both see and smell. My soaps are wrapped very tightly by strech wrap...so they are very easy to see. I took a small, silicone mold (for brownie bites) and poured a small sample of each of the fragrances currently featured into the wells. They can handle them all they want, get a good whiff and I'm not compromising the cleanliness of my sale soaps.

This is what I do for most of our mp. Our cupcakes are boxed in clear boxes so I do have a sample of each cupcake out. The brownie bite molds do make great fo samples

I personally would NOT buy a soap that someone's germy hands were all over! :Kitten Love: So if I saw one unwrapped I would probably pass. I would appreciate a sample out but then I am a germ phob and can not even eat the samples that are out at a grocery store- they alone disgust me so I prob would not touch the sample display either. I would want to make sure I could get a whiff of the scent and that it was not offensive or messed with me but other than that I buy soap to clean me not cover up odor...I'm the odd one its cool. :wave:

omigod, i did a demo today at a local health food store (cp, not m&p), with unwrapped soap ball samples neatly labeled SOAP! SOAP! i had a lemon poppyseed sample, and stupidly had them in cupcake papers. don't eat them! i said to everyone looking at them. well, two women saw what they wanted to see regardless -- little bites of lemon poppyseed cake, and to my horror bit into them. you should have seen the look on their faces, and they both thought it hilarious, but i didn't. AM I GLAD I HAVE INSURANCE!

:shock: OMG ha that is freakin hilarious!!! You should of been like what they don't taste good, you no like?! LOL
