Opinions Please?!

**HausMommy** · 10-13-2009, 08:19 PM

I've decided to start my own home-based business. It is a line of bath and body products, in various scents. I'm really excited, because I think it will do well, especially around here. I plan on selling at craft shows, flea markets, and farmer's markets. I also put up a website, which is what I need your opinions on. I didn't design it totally myself, I used GoDaddy.com's WebSite Tonight template. I have an upcoming craft show in Naperville, IL on November 14th, so I'm rushing to try and get everything ready for it. I've already got my brochures, business cards, and such ready. I just have to keep making samples of my products.

I know the website needs photos, I'm in the process of building a light tent to photograph the products. This is just the basics for now, but I feel as if there is something missing.

So, if you don't mind

It isn't available yet. If you just did it it can take up to something like 48 or 72 hours to be published to the web for the first time.

**HausMommy** · 10-13-2009, 08:32 PM

Yeah, for some reason it didn't take the first time. I've been having trouble with their Website Tonight app for the past 3 days. Never again will I use a template. I just didn't have the time to design and code a site, and make all the products I need for this show.

I'm showing it up on my end now.

Oooo - no advice but I do have a question.....
Do you make soaps?? I have a soap I got from William Sonoma (I was given a gift card) that I absolutely love but...William Sonoma is too expensive.
If I am going to pay good money I'd rather give it to YOU.
The soap is a lemon scented soap.

I think it's cute. I like the colors. For some reason, the word CREATIONS is cut-off, not cut off at the end but cut-off across the bottom of the word, not sure why.
I like the bio too, maybe change one part, where you said you are the mother of 1 beautiful girl, I would change it to "a" instead of 1. The only reason I mention it is because I was expecting something more after it like maybe, 1 beautiful girl and 2 wonderful dogs. Does that make sense?
I loved the descriptions of the fragrances, made me want to order all of them!

Anyway, I like it!

Thanks for such quick responses!!

Yes, I do have a lemon soap. I'm working on getting the concentrations just right in it, because I'm making it an antibacterial soap. It really does smell wonderful though, I think that's my favorite one to make.

Aww Tasha, I really like the new font you chose for the title, it fits much better. And the bio reads really smoothly.
I will definitely order the shower gels and lotions when you have them ready, be sure to let me know. K?

Just letting you all know, I have a few new scents, and a new product! I am adding Baby Powder, Japanese Lotus Blossum, Coconut Lime, and Brown Sugar Vanilla to the available fragrances. I also have Peppermint for Christmas(unless I can continue to get it year round!)

I am also adding Bath Bombs to my product list.

I love home made stuff like this!!!

Im to far away to do a home party but just curious if you'll be offering that? There is a buisness around my home town that they do like soaps, body washes etc and they do home "spa parties" it was fun to get all the girls together.

To make it more fun the host got ice cream and bananas and each guest had to bring a topping for the banana split... It was a blast!
