Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Aromatherapy, herbs, natural living, etcDavid your bars are gorgeous. Is that a purchased mold or did you make it with gutter drainage thing 9that is what it reminds me of) lol those are pretty big bars. How do you charge for them? Do you mind sharing? I use to make huge bars and figured folks on a tight budget could cut them in half. But I could not move them very fast because the thought of $6 or $7 a bar was not acceptable for some folks. My clientele is mostly mothers with young children so that I think has alot to do with it. So Ihave cut down to palm size bars to fit in the hand well and sell for 3-4 dollars per bar and that seems to move things quicker. -Love and Light- Ray and Kristena Roder http://www.dreamseeds.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 David your bars are gorgeous. Is that a purchased mold or did you make it with gutter drainage thing 9that is what it reminds me of) lol [Dave:] Your guess is right on the money. I use gutter downspout, cut into 12” pieces. It’s cheap and easy, and I get a lot of compliments on my bars. those are pretty big bars. How do you charge for them? Do you mind sharing? [Dave:] I always thought they were on the small side, but they fit the hand nicely. Average weight is 4.1 oz. I charge a lot for my bars, but a lot of that is because I live in southern CA. I kept raising my prices, and people kept buying. I stopped at $6 per, even though I’m sure I could get more. I just thought it was getting ridiculous. I’m glad you brought it up, because once I get my website up and running I’ll be presenting to a much wider market, and I don’t want to charge too much. On the other hand I have to cover shipping, packaging, and my time. So I offer some pretty deep discounts for folks who buy in quantity.

[Dave:] I’m going to be giving the matter of pricing some serious thought.
