Hi there, my mind is always thinking. I would love to see a travel size maybe 3 ounces of each. It would be a neat birthday party idea that each girl could have a smaller version of each.
Also, some body scrub that could be scented.
Can we ever buy a bulk jug of lotion - would be nice to just squirt some in a small bottle and scent to give as samples instead of wasting a bottle.
just some ideas.

Good ideas, Sherry. We have talked some about this in the past. The problem with offering smaller bottles to sell at workshops etc. is that most people will buy the smaller (read that to say prices less) bottles and cut into our profits.
I choose one scent to sent a bottle and label it as a sample. I take this bottle to shows and also use it if I want to give someone a sample. I also have one bottle of unscented lotion that I use as a sample if someone wants to try the lotion without a scent.
One scent and one unscented goes a long way. Use a recipe that is lightly scented and not overpowering. Use one of the recipes that is in the sample scents for your kit.
There will be other products eventually- like body scrubs and other things, but they take time to produce. We really want good quality products, so the company will take the time to do the market research for us and give us great products at the least amount of cost to us that they can.

One of the things that caught my eye about UB versus other companies I have sold for is the small number of products UB offers. And the company not changing and adding all the time. It's exciting getting new things; but UB would be that anyway due to teh unlimited number of scent combos you can create! I am saving up to be a FD (can't come soon enough for me!) and it's much easier to stock 5 products than 30-50!smileys/smiley5.gif

I think those are great ideas--perhaps if the samples only were sold as a set for birthdays or a set number of party guests. Like for example, Noah's Ark has special animals that are sold only in bulk for larger workshops--something like that. Samples that are not carried as regular inventory. Make sense?
