  • Question
    Can I sell my soap at a shop that I don't own?
    Community Answer
    Yes - you need to talk to the shop owners. If they'd like to carry your products, you work out together if the shop will take a flat rate every month or a percentage of each product sold.

    What would entice customers to buy soap?
    Community Answer
    People are buying the smell, so have samples for them to sniff, and maybe even small sample to take home to try.

    I make a lot of soap, but find it difficult to find good packaging options. Do you have some recommendations of where to find soap boxes and label makers at reasonable prices?

    Lush sells soap tins and boxes for reasonable prices, and other soap storage/label makers can be found at stores like Target and Walmart. Online stores like Amazon, Ebay, and Etsy are great as well.

    Having an issue with packaging, I need packaging so people can smell the soap but be able to put a label on it. Any ideas?

    There are lots of ways to package soap to achieve this. Most soap makers simply have all their soap displayed unwrapped in wooden boxes, so customers can smell the soaps and then it can be packaged and labelled after purchase. Other options could be paper packaging, mesh/cloth packaging, or even wrapping with some twine and tying on a label. Decide which option suits you and your target audience, as well as selling atmosphere etc. e.g. If you were selling in an outdoor market you would probably want to offer a water resistant packaging option, in case of rain.
