Selling Your Homemade Bombs
Bath bombs are a hit; There is no arguing over that. However, if you make them and you have perfected your recipe, you should let others draw water from the well. It means you should share the perfection with them. There are many brands who have made their fortune over this, and there is no argument over how successful they have become. You can join the race if you have a product that appeals the consumers. To help you make such a product and sell it with perfection, the following are a few pointers you need to mind.
Word of Precaution
You need to test your product before you put it on wholesale. Make sure it’s ready to use and perfectly safe. For this, you may have to make different batches of detox bombs and test them. Use these in your bath and try to notice after how many days of production they lose their element.
Also, note down after how long their scent fades away. This helps you to put a clear-cut date for expiration. You may need a bunch of testers for different bombs. See if they have any skin rash or other reaction from the bomb or not. Try experimenting with your original recipe and tweak it as needed. Try out your recipe for different skin types, most importantly, sensitive skin.
Concern with the Authorities
If you want to sell your homemade bombs, you need to get a license. Try to contact the local city and county agency for licensing info. Also, contact the local authorities about the ingredients you want to use in your products, If the products are categorized as cosmetics, it won’t cause any trouble. But the ingredients are something else than cosmetics; then it will be a different story.
Your Presentation
Have you developed a great product?
That was the start!
Did you monetize your idea? It was settling your business! But how you convey the product to your buyer shows how much you value their business.
Therefore, you need to design an eye-catching design. Don’t make your packaging only good, make it great. This is the first thing your buyers will see, so this is your chance to make yourself stand out. You need to test the bombs in a small box and use colored tissues or cellophane to wrap them.
Try different colors according to each scent. Try a catchy name for each scent and mention the ingredients. Come up with a gift like packages with different bombs according to their fragrance and create a discounted deal.
Set Up Your Shop
One thing for sure, you can’t sell the detox box from your home. So, you need to setup a shop. Speaking of which, there are a lot of options to avail when it comes to this.
Try to setup your blog. It’s the forefront of any business today, so no reason to step behind. You can also try to set an online shop. It won’t cost you much, just the basics. If you don’t have the money for a blog, you can try listing and e-commerce websites. There are many business sites that specialize in handmade craft products. Most of these websites offer free registration.
If you are not convinced with the online option to sell your homemade bath bombs, you can always go with brick and mortar. Rent a shop and set your store. But if you want the real deal, try getting into the farmer’s market. You will get the best buyer base here. People go to the farmer market expecting something affordable and healthy; this should be your catch.
Promote Your Product
You can’t do business unless you market it. You have to make sure people are familiar with your brand and product. Hire a marketing firm and draw out your plan. Don’t go directly to television or billboards.
Stick with the affordable yet effective options at the start. Try online marketing, promote your product on all social streams and get your own website (once again).
Try to sign up for upcoming events. This may include vendor booths and farmer market. The point is a local market warmly welcome handcrafted product. Get some tents and table to set your own booth. Get creative with your marketing and give it your best shot. Try to give free samples as well. Just create a miniature of your product, mini organic bath bombs.
Let Others do the Trick
You can either set up the shop yourself or give your product to someone who already did and get your cut. Ask retail stores to carry your product. Dispatch marketing mails and call the buyers to sell your product at wholesale. This is fifty percent of retail. You can make up for the loss by hiring a sales representative and pay him a commission of the total sale.
Just be careful about a few things, test your ships and packaging before you ship anything. Fizziest are fragile, and they can break easily. Also, get product liability insurance and protect your business if there is a legal case from your customers.
Improve Your Approach
Establishing your business is an achievement itself. But the crux is, you have to improve yourself, your product and your business with the passage of time. The only way to do that is improving your end product. So, despite whatever you are creating these bombs for, detox, jewelry, or whatever, you need to keep improving yourself.
Your goal should be to progress ahead. To help you do so, we are giving you the following tips on how to improve your end product.
Choose Your Citric Acid
You need to try the superfine granules; these are the best. You can also use coarse granules, but they seem lumpy and give a bobble look when the bombs dry off.
Fuss About Bicarb
Food grade sodium bicarbonate is great. It’s better than the technical one as that has impurities and may give off a coarse type look.
Smoothening the Final Product
Try using corn flour as ten to fifteen percent of your dry ingredient. This will help you to control the fizz reaction among the ingredients you mix.
Food Grade Dry Ingredients
You need to use ingredients including Bicarb, corn flour, citric with others you can easily find in food stores.
Avoid Water
You need to avoid it as it binds your mix and leads to fizzing as well as expansion even in the mixing process. This will give you panic to make the mix stick and mound. So better avoid it in the first place.
Don’t Over Wet
You need to aim for same consistency every time you make your bath bombs. The best way to do so is avoiding to over wet the whole thing.
Make Sure the Mound is Dry
You need to keep these away from the bomb when you mix to make sure they don’t get any moisture. Wet molds are nothing but a headache. If you screw up, you have wasted good material. So, keep them separate and down take them out unless you have prepared all of the material. It's better for the long short.
