You just popped up on my page. Listening and watching I think although different and artistic a person wants a good soap comfy to hold which provides that little bit of luxury for one’s skin. I’d concentrate on your core soaps these are your sellers

Thank you very informative

Great tips thanks

🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 Would you be willing to do mentorship . I would love to learn from you

I’m going to use square space for my website . Would you review that as well

Thank you I love this transparent video . I’m wanting to start making soap and possibly start a business . Thank you for the honesty . New subscriber ❤ I only have 11 subscribers so far so im trying to grow my Channel. Wishing you much success

I think novelty soaps are just that. Maybe you could get a return on them by putting together gift baskets to sell with them. I don't buy novelty soap because it's so pretty and I don't want to use it, but I would by a gift basket with novelty soap, bath bombs, loofah, body butter, etc. to give as a gift.

Thank you very informative.

I was thinking of going with my own website on square space. It has lot of features and affordable for a new business in my opinion. Since technically you don’t own your store on Etsy. I know you can make good money but it’s very saturated what are your thoughts.

Love your honesty thank you. New subscriber

These are really unique products that I've never really seen or heard of before!!

Show Dee Dee some love over at Etsy! www.etsy.com/shop/BudsNSudsIdaho

Ahh, thank you so much!! I have had the exact same thoughts of everything you mentioned!! I just haven't completely leaned into that niche/target market. It's so nice to hear some affirmations!

Would you like a shop review? I love doing these. It doesn't have to be soap! Any handmade business works for me. Such a fun way to give back.

I would love a shop review!

Thanks for watching! Leave me questions or suggestions for the next video. Have an Etsy shop you want me to review? Link it in the comments.

Let me know here in the comments if you would like tips or advice on your Etsy or Shopify store -- or if you have other handmade biz questions . Be sure to link your shop IF you want me to do a video reviewing it and answering your questions/ offering advice. Otherwise, I will collect questions and create videos answering them -- but still link your shops!

Congratulations on your growth I wish you all life’s best ma’am

❤❤❤❤❤

Good luck and God bless you! Hugz, Tree

I get it. So much work

Best wishes

😢 I loved watching you! You will be missed. Wishing you all the best!

I use a premix 50/lye 50 water any suggestions on how to plug that into the soap cal? I think i figured it out but just wondering if you have any suggestions? Say i wanted a 33 percent lye instead of 50? Im new to all of this made my 1st test bar the other night😊

Thank you for being transparent.

How can i get this table

Hi!!! I'm the soap donut chick from fb! This is such a cute video, and technique! That red IS stunning!

🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🤩🤩🤩

Please ask questions if you have any or suggest new soap tutorial videos. It helps me know what to share as I move more into teaching in 2024.

So the trash bag doesn't heat up a melt during in the mold

Really nice! 😊❤

This will be one of the soaps in the March 2nd release! Jump in the Facebook Group for details🧼

I still use your whipped soap that I won from a giveaway lol! I REALLY love your whipped soaps, it's one of the best ones I've used!!

Love your honesty!❤

Beautiful beautiful purple colouring you are using, what is the name of the micas? Unfortunate that the low flat camera angle meant we could see just the tops of your logs as you cut the bars and a lot of your wall. One tip also that comes to mind - if you hand stir your colour in first, before any stick blending, the batch will stay thinner for longer, and you have more stick blending time. That’s a thick trace you got there. But you look totally in control of it. I love your business advice, thank you. Subscribed…

I’ve been trying to source those mesh washcloths.

🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️hope you are doing well 😊

I love packaging videos I would love to see you packing up some orders with your beautiful products

Would love to hear more about the quarterly drops you're planning to do. I'm an SLP in the school setting, and I feel like the busiest times of the soap-business year is also the busiest time of the school year (from like October-February) lol!! I think that would be a good plan for me to follow...how are you planning to handle the final quarter? Will you have a summer/fall/Christmas release? Or just summer/fall?

What shall we talk about next? Anyone up for a packaging video?

🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ 😊

Want to know more about any of these tips? Just ask and I can go into more detail.

The soap looks beautiful. With my excess goat milk, I've made milk powder. So it was interesting to see it added with the lye. I had no idea how to use mine.

Unfortunately the market for small business soap/bath and body makers is very over saturated. Everybody and anybody that starts making soap thinks they can sell it. I feel there is no easy way to stand out as a soap maker. You are always trying to cater to the current trends. I have been making soaps and other stuff for over 10 years. I’ve always gotten great feedback on my products but I don’t sell a whole lot. Usually around holidays there is a spike in interest/purchases but otherwise it is sporadic. I’ve thought about just selling off all my supplies but I haven’t made that decision yet.

Do you have another video where you talk more about consignment. I'm interested in how that works. Belinda

Thanks for watching and I so appreciate these detailed comments. Keep the questions coming and I'll respond here or in upcoming videos.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I also had a drop off on my wholesale orders through faire. The last 2 years were great, but this year was just not nearly as profitable. Having a storefront, I feel my priority in 2024 is making sure my local customers are taken care of…just focusing on keeping my products in stock as much as possible. I also am doing consignment in a few local shops as well. That’s enough to keep me busy! I know you had a storefront at one point. A question i have is how did you manage your product line? I have a hard time being consistent cause i like trying new things but i also know many of my customers come back for the same product. How do you choose to bringing in new scents/products vs just restocking the regulars? I hope that makes sense!

I got a cricut for Christmas!! I’ve never used one…any fun ways to use it in Soapmaking and/or business? Have you ever talked about where you get your soap boxes and the process of doing that?
