Where to Sell Your Soap
One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to sell your soap is at craft fairs,
flea markets, farmers’ markets, or other festivals. Tables at these types of events are
generally fairly cheap, and people go there expecting to spend money. Therefore, if
your soap isn’t ludicrously over-priced, odds are pretty good that someone will
consider it a low-cost luxury; people like things that are hand-made, it is a nice
alternative to mass-produced soaps, and they make very nice, but cost-effective, gifts.
If you don’t have the time to go to craft fairs to sell your product, and can’t find
anyone to go in your stead, there are other options to sell your soap. You can try
selling your soap online, through stores like eBay or Amazon. These retailers will take
a cut of your profits, though, and you are competing with all of the other people who
are trying to do the same thing you are, which will drive down your prices. If you
want to sell your soap without anyone taking a percentage of the sale price, you can
try creating your own web store. The disadvantage of doing it this way is that you
will not generate a fraction of the traffic that huge websites like eBay get every day.
Also, if you want to use search engines like Bing or Google to bring traffic to your site,
you will need to place bids with them, in order to have your business appear as a
featured result, or near the top of the list.
