The Soap Box

We’re Going to Denver for the Handcrafted Soap makers Guild Show!

We have been getting asked by many people if we’d be attending the 2010 HSMG show. Well, we are! I’m very happy to announce that we’ll be there walking the floor – ready to mix, mingle, and catch up with some of our favorite soap making customers and friends!

Are you going to HSMG?? Let us know, and we’ll keep a lookout for you! We love meeting our online friends and customers!

A New Blog Layout

The Soap Box has a new layout! We’ve made the blog a bit more streamlined and easier to read though. It’s also easier to share our helpful content with your friends on your preferred social networks. We’ll be adding and modifying as the weeks progress, but we’re happy with the kind very words we’ve received so far!

As a soap maker, we’re sure you’ve tested many looks, textures, colors, and scents for your soaps. After all, the product is the core of your business, right? Well, there’s no better way to win your customers hearts than through their stomachs! Although they can’t actually eat your food-like creations, they’ll be sure to marvel at them! And of course, who doesn’t like reminders of their favorite tasty treats in their showers? (besides someone who may be on a diet.

We’ve gathered some of our favorite food-inspired soap creations here, and we’re excited to showcase all of the amazing things soap makers are doing to bring a bit of the kitchen into your bathroom!

We imagine that a bit of play on scents, and you’ve got yourself raving fanatics as customers in no time!

For most of us, we’ve just finished packing away the last of the Christmas lights, and tossed away the last leftovers from that insane New Years eve dinner party we threw – but spring is really just around the corner. With the biggest gift-giving day for lovers creeping up on us, we’re reminded that Spring Mother’s Day, and Easter are really not too far off.

Here at Cibaria, we love planning our activities and promotions around what our customers actually need during those special times of the year. We want to know what kind of things you have in store for your special occasion soap making?

Do you plan out ahead of time what soap you’re going to make for the following year?

Are you kind of winging-it?

Do you have new areas of soap making that you’re looking to try out, but aren’t sure how it’ll work out?

We’d love to hear from you – and we’re sure the other soap makers that read our blog will add a great amount of their own ideas on things they’ve already implemented to become a more organized soap maker!
