Sample sizes

[Crazy8]

I thought about doing some sample sizes of my soaps to either sell for like $1 or give out for free so that people can see what each soap is like before buying a full size bar. I have seen "Guest Size" molds but those, based on what I can tell anyway, seem like they still might be to big. I am wondering if there are any molds that do like hotel size soaps. I think something like that would be perfect. Not to big, not to small. Should last long enough to make the decision of if you like it or not and if its free, its not much loss for me, and if its sold for $1 its not much lost for the buyer.

Oh there are tons of them! Check Etsy, EBay, WSP, brambleberry,
I have a few that I use for m&p and work for cp.. You can just in half.

The red is in front of 1 oz bottles so u can see relative size. Those are about 1/2 oz and perfect for sample bars. Think it was also from WSP but can't be certain.

The two samples above are great! Freshware Inc. makes a 24 cavity silicone mold approximately 1/2 ounce each, and amazon usually has it for about $10.

I think some people also use the trimmings (free samples generally). I've seen people at farmer's markets do that. A few of the videos I watch on youtube from people who sell generally trim the ends and they are maybe 1/4" thick. You could cut those in half or thirds or something as samples. Just another thought.
