Help Me Friend Soapers! I would like your opinion. I'm planning to do a show in May that is 5 days long and expects 80,000 people. While I would only bring enough soap in a day to cover 1 1/2 - 2 days worth of sales, how many soaps do you think I should have (total for the 5 days) and what are your top 3 FOs?

Thanks for the advice in advance! :!: :idea:

How big is your table? I would bring as much as you can and store extras undeneath the table. Fragrances vary from region to region. I sell a lot of lavender, citrus and unscented goat's milk.

Citrus didn't sell at all for me, but lavender is popular and so is mint and lemongrass.

Spearmint has recently been a big hit, as well as Brown Sugar & Fig (but might be too out-of-season in May) and a fresh scent like Fresh Linen or something along those lines.
But like the other ladies said, Lavender is usually a good stand-by that appeals to many people.

I appreciate the opinions! So, wild guess . . . how MANY bars of soap. I'm thinking around 1000. Do you think that's enough? It's 5 days and approximately 80,000 people. If 1% of the people buy 1-2 bars of soap, 1000 might not be enough. The good news is they store well :D

How long has this show been in business? What type of advertising do they do?
If you are on FB, you could do small free samples. Like if they come by your booth and mention where they saw your listing, you would give them a free sample size bar of soap. (maybe with a purchase of one full size?)

This Italian Food Festival has been going on for years and years. It moved locations for awhile, but that location started charging too much for everything, so it moved back to the well loved location. Two people I know had a booth there and they both thought it would be good for me. They are the ones who corrected me that it was more like 12,000+ people per day and 80,000 for the show's 5 days.

This show gets advertised on Billboards, television, radio and newspapers.
