Minimum Orders for Private Label

Many customers are suprised when they discover our minimum order
is only $25.00.  Often people judge our company size by the minimum order.
When I first started in business I found it very difficult because so many
vendors required large opening orders.  I decided at that time I would always
have a very low minimum.  Even the smallest company can have their
own private label line and grow their profits.  Our company clientel list
is so varied...huge overseas orders that leave in containers, pallet orders
that are shipped cross country,and small $25.00 orders to small family
owned businesses.  Whatever your needs, Springdale can fill that order
for you.

The small minimum, and small case sizes allow you to purchase only
what you need for inventory. It also allows many clients to carry a
variety of scents and products that would be impossible with normal
case sizes of 48 or 144.  Purchasing according to your budget is
even more important now with the current economic situation.
It's important to have product on your shelves for your clients especially
with the holiday season approaching.  I believe this year even more
of your clients will be looking for that special handmade, made in the
USA item for gift giving.  Handpoured candles from soy...a renewable
American farmers product, are a long lasting gift, and can turn
an ordinary day, into an extraordinary occasion. 
Many of our customers purchase the frosted glass candles, and then
box them or bag them and add a gift tag for special gifts ready for
gifting.  Papermart and Nashville wraps each have many boxes,
and bags appropriate for gifts such as these. Your private label on the
bottom of gifts such as these can bring you more business in later months
as the recipients long for more candles, or want to give them as gifts
to others.  Browse through our candle selection today, find over
200 scents available.

Spring Dollars

I just want to remind each one of you to take advantage of our Spring Dollars promotion.

You only have until Tuesday, April 1st to place your orders for savings on your May orders.

Spring Dollars to boost your sales and profits. Our Bonus Dollar promotion last fall was such a huge success we've decided to have a Spring Dollar promotion.  From March 1 to April 1(2008) you will receive a Spring Dollar coupon with each order over $100.

Minimum Orders

We have inquiries everyday via the internet and phone, as to our minimum order

requirements. It's only $25.00, the minimum does not apply to samples, and the

majority of our products come in cases of 4.  Generally there are three type of

responses...either the potential client is thrilled,  or they are shocked, or

there's a sort of  attitude that perhaps our company is not large enough for the

large potential client to deal with us.

Dozens of orders go out our doors weekly...some just a small box of samples,

and others are pallets stacked with boxes.  When first started in business and

only had a few clients, I was constantly faced with either having to order a gross

of something to get a wholesale price when I only needed a dozen or to pay retail

to get only a dozen.  I vowed to keep my minimums low and affordable as I grew

for those companies and entreprenures trying to start at the ground floor.

Today that decision is even more important for many of my clients who are trying

to survive the impact of our economy on retail shopping.

The small case size allows retailers to carry as little inventory as possible. 

You do need to plan you purchasing with thought, as you need to allow the 12 to

18 business day turn around for us to make your product, but in doing so you can

really manage within your budget and still offer your customers a large variety of

products and fragrances.  Work at having small displays of products that look

attractive and inviting, but not so small that it looks like a clearance sale.  We

added combo cases of liquid products (two 2 oz, one 4 oz and one 8 oz bottle)

quite some time ago as it makes it affordable for a small shop to have a nice

display of sizes without buying several cases.

Here are a few ideas to help you with displaying products.

....Don't make the display cluttered..sometime less can be more.

.... Make your products the most important part of the display..not the props.

....Good lighting is important If the display is in a corner perhaps you could add
a lamp to the display..again, the lamp is a prop so make sure it's not the most
important item in your display.

....I always like to have different heights in my displays..you could possibly stack
products on each other, or cover boxes with paper or fabric as cheap risers for
you display.

...Use your imagination.  Make the display really interesting, or give it a twist
and engage your customers mind.  Perhaps group things together so perhaps
they'll buy one item to go with another.  Chocolate candles with gourmet
chocolates.

...Somtimes it helps to come up with a theme first, and then build the display
around that theme or idea so that your display is focused.

...Colors..

Entreprenuer.com has some wonderful ideas..one of their ideas
" A good way to get display ideas is to look around when visiting other retail
shops. Go to other towns and look at shops similar to yours. You may not want
to copy their ideas exactly, but it may trigger a new idea for you. See what
appeals to you and make a note of it. Likewise, note things you don't like,
so you won't make the same mistakes."

Spring Dollars

Spring Dollars to boost your sales and profits. Our Bonus Dollar promotion last fall was such a huge success we've decided to have a Spring Dollar promotion.  From March 1 to April 1(2008) you will receive a Spring Dollar coupon with each order over $100.

You will receive $5.00 for each $100 in your order. (This is for actual products, there are no Spring Dollars for shipping, labels, etc.)

Java Mama a new coffee scent

Body Coffees are so good for your skin, and we've just added a new scent....Java Mama.  An exclusive blend only from Springdale....fresh brewed java, Hershey's chocolate, basmati rice, cedar wood, peach, strawberry, lemon and other secret tantalizing fragrances.  It's a fabulous rich java aroma for the mind, body and soul.

In our body coffee scrubs you'll love the exfoliant properties of the finely ground coffee which also breaks up fatty deposits that can help cause cellulite.  It's great from your shoulders to your toes to soften and moisturizer your skin.

I love having a coffee soap in the kitchen as it neutralizes almost all the strong odors on my hands...like fish and onion, and it's also a great exfolilant for stains, and flaky skin.

Like all our scrubs, the coffee scrubs are free of parabens, sulfates, and petroleum products.

Weekend Sales

Paraben Free Body Cremes

Ultra Body Creme is one of our most popular creme because it has  thick, whipped texture, soy & shea butter moisture, and it's Paraben Free.  Choose from many sizes, high or low profile jars, and over 250 scents.  Hawaiian Mango, just created this January is promising to be one of our most popular scents this spring.

Paraben free

Many of our clients have been requesting paraben free sugar scrub products.  Here's some information you may not know about parabens. Parabens-- such as propylparaben, ethylparaben and butylparaben--are synthetic preservatives commonly used in cosmetics and personal care items. They are suspected to be endocrine disruptors, and they have been found to mimic estrogen in laboratory experiments. Many people have allergic reactions to these preservatives causing skin rashes and irritation. Needless to say, there is a great ongoing debate as to the safety of products containing parabens. Our sugar scrubs are now paraben free.  We are using a blend of Rosemary Oleoresin, Vitamin E and Honey as a preservative in all our sugar scrubs.  Our regular line of spa products has has paraben free lotions, body butter sticks, ultra body creme, massage candles, and massage oils.

Holiday Packaging

Holiday packaging here at Springdale Spa is always such fun.  This year we've found a beautiful bath and

body set in a dark red, perfect for the holidays, and if you don't sell out by Christmas, put it away for a

few weeks, change your display  and bring it back out for Valentine's Day. It will be available only as long

as supplies last, as this is a special one time purchase. The three piece set will be pictured on our

website in a few days at a very special price. It will be available with several options

1. Lotion, bubble bath & cream

2. Lotion, massage oil & cream

3. Lotion, bubble bath & bath salts

Available in seven fragrance choices.

Did I mention it's at a very special price? Be sure and take advantage of the Bonus Dollars

More bottle choices at Springdale Spa

As a wholesale bath and body supplier here at Springdale Spa I am always trying to offer the best choices

to our customers for packaging.Bullet, oval and boston round bottles are now all available as standard

packaging  for our lotions,shower gels, bath salts (yes, many clients like bath salts in these bottles)

massage oils,bubble bath, and body sprays.  As usual our products which carry the Springdale Spa

label are also available with your private abel. Actually about 95% of our business is private labeled for

large and small companies, boutiques, wineries, department stores, web stores, gifts hops and more.

Springdale Spa Massage Oil Candles

What exactly are massage oil candles?
Massage oil candles are a new type of candle
which we hand pour with fine cosmetic
ingredients instead of paraffin candle wax.
Because of soy wax unique formulation,
these massage oil candles have a very
low melt point, becoming a warm lotion
that is just over body temperature.
These candles melt to become
comfortably warm, but never hot.

You can find several massage candles
on the market made with a variety
of ingredients. The very basic contain
only soy wax. The best massage oil
candles, like those handcrafted at
Springdale Spa will also contain a
substantial amount of other
ingredients known to pamper, soothe,
and add superior moisture to the
skin and create an emollient slide
with the warm melted oil. 

Springdale Spa massage oil candles contain a
a higher percentage certified organic oils
than any other on the market.

Several massage therapists are
purchasing our massage oil candles
to use in their practices. The candles are
most often used for hand or foot massage,
and our high quality massage oil candles
can provide a unique option in lieu of
traditional massage oils. These massage
oil candles are also wonderful for use
at home to soothe arthritic hands. Many
of our client therapists are also private
labeling and selling the candles and other
products hand made at Springdale Spa
in their practices, creating substantial
revenue and profit.

Springdale Spa massage oil candles
are very sensual and exquisite option when
giving a couples massage. Candles always
set a romantic mood, emit soft fragrance,
and the warm fragrant melted wax is
a delightful alternative to regular
massage oil.

Turning Holiday Customers into Returning Customers, Part 3

The third part of my plan here at Springdale Spa requires a little

more work and planning.I've added a new section to our website...

Sales and Specials.  In this section I am offering a new product

or products each and every month, and at a discounted

price during that month.  This I am hoping will entice them

to visit the website at least once a month to get great buys on

new products. The more often a client visits you, the greater

the chance they will buy from you. That section also has a

Weekly Sales good on Friday, Saturday,

and Sunday.  That sale

is usually more appealing to our Returning Customers who

are already trying to take advantage of all our discounts and

special buys year round.  It's a really great way to build

customer loyalty when you offer a good discount on

regular products each week.. I actually modified a sale

one of my suppliers offers on Saturdays each week.

Besure and check out our Sales and Specials

Turning Holiday Customers into Returning Customers, Part 2

So, part one of my plan to increase spring sales with

our 2007 holiday sales is to offer a coupon.  For every

$100 a customer spends between August 1st and

December 1st they will receive a coupon for $5.00

off on their orders between January 1st and March 1st.

They will be allowed to use all their coupons on one

order if they wish. 

On the 15th of December each customer will receive a

letter from Springdale Spa indicating the total of their

coupons, and a sneak peak of the January and

February sale items and new products to kick off

our spring season.

I am sure this will turn a good percentage of our

new seasonal customers into repeat clients.

Next week I'll share part 2 and 3 of my plan

to increase spring sales.

Selling Body Chocolates

The key to selling Springdale Spa gourmet  Body Chocolates,

our Body Chocolate retailers say, is letting people feel how great

it is on their skin, and experience the fabulous chocolate scents.

While customers look for what they want, you want them to start

sampling. They can smell their way through the body products

as they browse. Even if they don't buy something, if they love

chocolate you know they'll be back. Ultimately, if you let customers

sample, you sell.

Samplings are very important.  If people look at a product

but don't know what's in it, they might pass it by.

Always put out samples of new products, and samples

every day for people who might be new to your store or

business. Springdale Spa makes it easy and affordable

to let your customers sample Body Chocolates with

two ounce size products, and or Body Chocolate

Samplers.

The more you educate yourself about your products,

the better you will be able to sell it. Your best resource is

Springdale Spa your manufacturer. You will find that

we are more than happy to educate you.  You will find

a great deal of information about all our products here

on this blog, and at our website.

We recommend bringing in a complete line of gourmet

Body Chocolates from one or two suppliers, rather than

one item each from several different suppliers. A full line

from just one or two suppliers has better presence on a shelf.

Here at Springdale Spa we have a complete line of hand spun

Body Chocolates to pamper your clients from head to toe.

Once a client has purchased a Body Chocolate products and likes it,

she/he will be more apt to try different things from the same line.

If you have other options from that line of Body Chocolates,

it will give people an opportunity to try something different from

a brand they already know and like.

I always think it's fun and attractive to have a simple display of

good quality gourmet edible chocolates near or with your

Body Chocolates.

Pairing gourmet edible chocolate in a keepsake container

with Body Chocolates  makes an attractive gift ready to give

gift. When placing edible chocolate in a store with Body Chocolates,

and or other fragrant  types of gifts, be careful not to put them 

too close to un chocolate scented items.  Edible chocolate

can  absorb odors, and people might not find it appealing if it

smells like gardenia, or lavender.

During holidays you might try grouping all the special holiday

items together on a table that you've made the focal point of the

room.  You might also send out fliers before important holidays

or have special sampling nights.

Gift baskets are very important.  Depending upon what types

of chocolate you are displaying you could put in  a chocolate soap,

a chocolate candle or two, truffles, caramels, a chocolate bath soak

chocolate lotion and maybe a book on chocolate.  You can have these

beautifully packaged items around the store. Walk around with your

customer and pull together a gift basket, and your customer can be

out the door in 15 minutes. If you take a chocolate basket and

give it to a woman for any occasion, no matter what her age

she's going to love it.

We'll soon have the perfect baskets for your to use to make

these Chocolate Experience baskets on our website.  Springdale Spa
