When I did a market or show, I had soaps prices at 3 for $xx.xx and said it was a "show special". Soap is something that will be used anyway so they usually bought 3

Love listening to you. I did a fair it was a bit of a failure. Listening to you gives me hope . Thank you .

I put a mix of my soap ends in little exfoliation bags, the soaps are 1/2” and I put in 5 soaps and sell them for $10. People love them. Good luck at your market!

I have pretty much stopped doing markets. Since Covid.....oh boy.....organizers jacking the booth fees up. Some of that I get- increased costs. But, no advertising, no organization. Or worse- horrible organization. One event, the organizers mixed food/alcohol vendors in with the craft vendors. Food trucks were at one end, live music at the other end. The live "music" was so loud customers couldn't hear anything- so they avoided that whole end of the event. When asked to turn it down, the "musician" almost got into a fist fight with the venders. Mind you- he was already paid. We were there depending on making sales to "get paid". That was the last straw for me.

Where do you buy your oils bulk? ( coconut oil, different butters, jojoba, etc )

[@brendarowe984]

I get mine from Bulk Apothecary, or Wholesale Suppies Plus. Hope that helps!

Make them into another soap and call it Scrap Soap.

Those pieces are so small. It might be better to put 4 oz of them in a sisal bag. People could scrub down with the bag or take the single use pieces out of the bag.🙄

I probably will do more than 2 oz. As I fill the bags I’ll see what looks like a good amount 😉
