Creating salves is much more than a business to me, it is a hobby. It is my 'craft', so as time passes I find myself wanting to better represent my product and as a result there's new labels! ![]()
I don't go about promoting myself a lot because I only make small quantities at a time. This is the most cost efficient way to do business for me, as having large amounts of salve on hand tends to be a bit of a waste when one only makes a few sales at a time. I suppose I could really get out there and push my product, but much of my sales are simply via word of mouth, and local, so I sort of guage what I need to create based on immediate demand.
I have started making massage oils again, it seemed like it was time. I had been experimenting with different scents over the last little while and found three in particular that I really liked.
Because I plan on expanding my products, I may have to move from here at webs.com to a self hosted site. I have a few on the go, but enjoyed using webs for their easy shopping cart system. It adds the shipping very well and does a good job for multiple orders of similar items. Problem is, once I have more than five items to sell, I have to upgrade, and of course, like I said, due to the fact that I am not a big business, I don't have big bucks. Self hosted works out to be cheaper for me, so it is something to consider.
The web address won't change though, it will always be at terraspiritessentials.ca ![]()
Anyhow I have a few bars of soap to get done tonight before I drop off to sleep, so I better get busy!
Blessings!
