Re: [SPAM] Bath & Body Product Business Tips?

[Guest guest]

Enlist the help of friends and family. Supply them with little sample vials and

a card to pass out to people they meet. Getting your name out is the biggest

hurdle I have found. If you make quality products, at a reasonable price

(meaning not too high or low) you will have return customers and that is the

best way I found to get my business to grow. I have not had much success with

newspaper ads, but that could be the area I am in.

I too started with just essential oils, but then migrated to a line of

Aromatherapy products and synthetic fragrance oil products, because they are fun

and in demand. My base ingredients are basically the same, meaning all natural,

but I actually sell more of the synthetic fragranced products. I guess it is

what people are used to. Older people tend to migrate to the essential oil/all

natural/old fashioned type products.

This is just my opinion, from my experience. I live in a small, farm community,

so things may be a little unusual here.

[sPAM] Bath & Body Product Business Tips?

Hi All,

I have always had a great love for bath prooducts and have decided to

venture into the world of Body products! I plan on start a business

creating the very things I have enjoyed purchasing.

I have been doing my research and wanted to know from others what their

challenges were in starting their bath and body businesses. And are

there any tips, books, class recommendations that you would share with

a newbie like myself!

I plan on sticking with essential oils, but find it a bit limited for

customers that may be looking for " fruity " fragrances. Suggestions?

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks ,

This was very helpful! I live in a HUGE city and the problem is

making my line stand out for the others as so many people are doing

the natural thing here.

But my question is...once you add fragrances, does it now exclude the

product from being called natural?

,

If you are using a synthetic fragrance in a product that contains nearly all

" natural " ingredients, your product would be considered " nearly natural " .

It is my opinion that it is far more important to be truthful in your product

labeling and state rather a synthetic fragrance oil is being used and let the

customer decide rather they want a product with a synthetic fragrance or one

derived from an essential oil.

Hi ,

I, too, started out with just essential oils. I started learning more about

Natural Perfumery and joined their group. I now have added absolutes and

CO2 extracts and am learning about blending to create totally different scents.

I just recently got the davana eo that I was missing to try to formulate a

raspberry scent that I read about. Natural perfumery has really helped me create

beautiful fragrances that my customers love instead of just approaching it from

an aromatherapy standpoint. And it's a lot of fun!

Good luck on your business venture. It is so much fun to make your living

doing what you love.

, I would be interested in hearing more about your eo's. I am an

esthetician and am wanting to go more on an organic route, but am also a massage

therapist and people love the smells....
