Awesome!!!

How did you manage to do that? What kind of terms did you set? (I'm thinking about wholesale)

how did i do it? well, i targeted them, as they sell lots of vegan stuff and my soap is vegan. i live down the street from them and im a regular customer there as well. i dropped off some samples and negotiated a price such that they made a 50% profit and were able to charge 20% below my etsy price online. i sold for $2.00/bar to them and they will charge $4.00/bar which is 20% below my etsy price of $5.00/bar. i do not have to collect sales tax on this sale, and it is a guaranteed sale of 20 bars. i thought it was worth a try. i think i'll include some free samples of my other soaps too, in case they would like to carry those as well.
