Soap Making: Why sell your soaps and health products online?
Because of its size, colors, varieties, as well as its originality and the well-being it provides, handmade soap has become THE trendy gift to give!
In 2018, its sales exploded in stores, and in 2019, consumers want to shop for their handmade soaps online!
And if you have quality products and you want to increase your sales quickly, these products are perfect for online sales:
- Very low shipping costs due to the size and weight of the products
- Photogenic and colorful products
- Medium prices ideal for impulse purchases or as gifts
Why an online store is better than a marketplace to increase your sales?
Etsy, Amazon… these platforms are interesting if you want to sell a dozen products per month because with commissions + listing fees + transaction fees, you quickly lose between 10% and 20% of your turnover.
Moreover, having a simple page on a marketplace, as explained in our article “Artisans: Sell in a marketplace or in an online store?” is not at all optimized for search engines and therefore does not allow you to acquire new customers.
A more professional image with your own e-commerce site
With your own online store, you control 100% of the design: colors, logo, templates… And with the informative pages, you will present your expertise and your passion for your activity and seduce your customers and reassure them about the quality of your products.
You manage categories, recommended items… and you increase the average basket of your customers by offering them the best sellers that your customers will surely add to their initial order.
Increase your visibility and number of customers for free with Instagram Shopping
With your own online store, you can take advantage of the Instagram Shopping advantage. With products that are high in shape and color, their photos on Instagram will find an audience that will quickly like and share.
And if with one click on the image, you put a link to the product purchase page. Don’t you think that among the thousands of Internet users who will see your post, some will succumb to the pleasure of acquiring this much-appreciated product?
