Soaps and Such by Holly now offers wholesale rates!

Now that Soaps and Such by Holly is back in action, I've decided it's time offer wholesale rates alongside my already low retail prices :)

Roughly my retail prices range from $1.00 - $1.50 per ounce of soap. My wholesale price is now $.75 per ounce of soap, not including shipping. For example, a set of my pastel colored duck soaps are listed for $2.99 making them $1.495 per ounce retail, and the wholesale price for a set of the same soap is $1.50 making them $.75 an ounce wholesale. $15.00 is the minimum order amount needed to receive wholesale prices, so going back to the duck soap example that would be 10 sets or 50 individual ducks which equals 20 ounces.

Come visit my shop where you can get a little soap or a lot!

Soaps and Such by Holly is Back!

June 11th was the day my newest little boy was born. He is healthy, beautiful, and a wonderful addition to our family. It may takes some fine juggling skills, but now that I'm rested I'm ready to get back to work. Go ahead and stop by my shop www.soapsandsuch1.etsy.com to see all the new soaps I've added that are fully customizable. There are new heart and flower bars, and multi colored flowers and stars. I also have plans for some more great soaps soon to come so keep an eye out :)

It's been a while!

Well today is the first day in a couple weeks that I have actually had the chance to make soap. I have been so busy with homework, kids, and have had some family situations to deal with, that I had no choice but to put my hobby on the back burner. Things have slowed down a tad for me now, but the baby will be here soon so the chaos is sure to pick back up. So I've come to a conclusion... yep I'm gonna have to terminate my experiment :(. I am fully confident that it would have been a success, but only if I had the time to invest to make it work. I am however going to keep on making soap, just with less pressure. I still love the soap making process, and will continue to have my shop on etsy. I also still would like to blog here and there, so really not much has changed. Thank you everyone for understanding :).

Day 68

Well spring break is over tomorrow, so I should get back on a better blogging schedule. I'm sorry I haven't been posting as much. But I have good news, our 10 day dry spell is over. I got two orders yesterday, and a customer wanted to know my wholesale info to sell some of my items in her gift shop in New Jersey, how exciting is that? Also yesterday alone I had 125 visitors come to my shop, that is by far the most I've had in one day. Things have been slow, but that's okay since I've had so much going on lately. I have a feeling things our going to start picking up again very shorty. But for now I've gotta get.

302 days to go!

A couple days ago we made it past the 2 month mark and we're going strong. The last few days have been kind of slow though. I've been super busy with sick kids, and with my new classes that started yesterday. It is also spring break which means no school for the kiddos. I'm gonna try and get some soaps listed today because we haven't had a sale since the 10th which was six days ago. That just goes to show if you want to be successful no slacking is allowed :). Another bummer is a big custom order I sent out over 2 weeks ago still hasn't been received. I have to get on the phone with the post office to try and find it. Thankfully I have the receipt! I think on all large orders I better get tracking numbers, because that could be costly.

Please Help

It's day 59, and until April 4th 2010 all proceeds will be donated to a very special cause! I just found out that my second cousin, a very special little girl's mother is in desperate need of kidney surgery. If she doesn't get the surgery she only has about 6 months to live. I have never met this woman, but her daughter I have, and she has the greatest spirited I have ever known and I would hate for something so devastating to happen to her. If you want to read her story you can go to http://www.giveforward.org/justtosavealife/. Thank you so much!
