Nothing to Do with Soaps

bear_wave 47x61This has nothing to do with soap, but I have been polishing my skills in making banners and buttons. I have made one for Honey and my brother-in-law.

His honey is the best. Really! It is fresh from his hives. No watering it down, or whatever some companies do to it. Flavor has to do with the type of flowers the bees find. Believe me, his bees found the best!

He doesn’t have a big company, so when you click on his site it will tell you to email them to order.    I promise, you will be very happy with his honey.

This site is now listed on many search engines. Of course, the more people that visit the higher up the rankings we will get.

Be sure and follow us on Twitter twitter.com/soapsnstuff.

If you are a soapmaker, email me barb@soapstuffdaily.com  Send me the soap you want featured, and your website. I will need a picture of the soap and a little information on you. If it is all on your site, fine, if not I will email you with what I need.  Remember, there is no charge for this.

What is this site about?

This site is really not about me, but about the many gifted soapers that are out there wanting to get their products known and sold.
My goal is that each day will feature someones new product with description, picture and a link to your website.
This site will grow with your help. When your soap is featured, you will need to contact all of your customers and friends. The more people visit this site the quicker it will be recognized by Google and other search engines. And of course this means the more potential customers for you and your site.
This is a free service for you. There will be ads running on the right side. My goal is to have advertisers that sell supplies to you. To keep this site up and running, I hope you will click on and try out these suppliers. 
You also can advertise  your site or product. Prices are very reasonable. See   Advertising on Soaps n Stuff Daily   for information.
A little about me.  I was a soaper for many years and sold my products at craft shows and flea markets. I have also have a website. So, I know how hard it is to get your products known and sold. I do not make soaps anymore, but do still sell Shea Butter on my website Silky Soft Skin Care.
Like most crafters, I enjoy many crafts. I love to make original pieces of jewelry. See at Laughing Dolphin Jewelry.

How Do You Ship?

How do you ship?  I like priority mail  best. When shipping products like soaps and other skin care products, type of shipping is important. You need to consider the weather. Sitting out on a warehouse dock in extreme heat or exteme cold is definitely not good on these products. I have received shipments from both UPS and Fed X that the outside of the boxes were so dirty and banged up, I had to imediately wash my hands.

I have had only one shipment damaged in all the years I have used priority mail. Since it is delivered in a couple of days, packages never sit on a loading dock. Never have I had a customer not want to pay the extra cost.

You might feel it is necessary to offer a choice of shipping. But, always mention the good and bad of the different ways.  I personally would not offer a choice. Your products should be considered as special and to important.

Your comments are always welcome.  If you would like your soap featured, read the BE SEEN page and email me. I have not sent anything out of the country, how do you handle it?

soapsHaving been a soaper  I know how hard is to get the word out that you are in business. This site is dedicated to getting your business out on the big wide web.  It will feature your newest creation, your site or even someone you recommend.

This site will be promoted by you and by me. You can help by letting all of your customers, mailing lists, friends and even your suppliers. The more viewers we have, mean more visitors and buyers to see your website.

Everyday when a new soap is featured a notice will go out on blog directories, search engines, twitter, facebook, etc.
