Making Profits at Craft Fairs with Handmade Soap

If you have a craft that you are selling at craft fairs or farmers markets a natural complimentary product will always be handmade soap.The olfactory memory of humans is one of our strongest memories, and one of the best ways to connect with potential customers. Fair goers passing your booth will be more likelty to stop and look at other items if they first stop to see what smells so amazingly wonderful.

If you make handmade soap yourself, your cost generally runs in the range of 12 cents per ounce. This allows plenty of room for margin as craft fairs will pull in $5.00 to $7.00 per bar. If you don't make handmade soap yourself the trick is to find a reliable supplier of handmade wholesale soap. There are not many handcrafted items that have a standard 200% mark-up. This is one of the most attractive aspects of offering handmade soap to your customers. If you manage to find the quality your customers demand the next issue is price. A bar that wholesales for $2.00 per bar allows plenty of room for flexibility in your pricing. Similarly, a bar that wholesales for $3.50 per bar leaves less options. Many wholesalers will give volume discounts, if you budget allows this should be a consideration. Exploring options now will save a lot of aggravation as the holiday season approaches. Good Luck.
