I have been making soap for years but just now ventured into an actual market to sell. We live in a tiny town and the market is only open for 4 hours on Saturday so was not expecting much. There were not a dozen vendors and this was the first market, plus it was 95 degrees!
With that said, we sold almost $250 worth of soap! We sold out of shampoo bars (Thanks, Lindy!) and Grubby Paws, the coffee soap made with spent coffee grounds. My husband says it takes pine sap off his hands. Rose clay complexion bars sold out. OMH is almost gone. Wood soap dishes were popular. Laundry soap is gone. I was up late last night replenishing supplies (making soap), the next market is in a month so I should be ok. I was surprised the citrus scents did not move much. Flower scents were ok.
We definitely sold more product than anyone there. Everyone commented they could smell the soap across the block, I cannot smell it anymore since it is always in our house. We are looking forward to the next one!
