Wholesale Bath and Body purchasing

At Springdale Spa we often receive emails and phone calls from people
who are just starting a retail business and looking for assistance in
choosing wholesale bath and body products.  First, it's important to
understand the reality of the of the bath and body industry, the
abiility they have based on their capital investment, and
then to complete their business plan accordingly.  I can not stress
the importance of a business plan too strongly.

Do a complete profile of your demographic market.  If you don't know
what type of purchasing power they have, what their likes and
dislikes are it's impossible to choose the right products for
your business.

One common mistake that is very costly involves scents.
Purchasing complete lines of 10 to 20 fragrances is very
expensive, and if you have chosen the wrong fragrances it
it will be hard to move that inventory at a profit.  Building
a test group identical to your demographic market is
a very sucessful in building your product and fragrance list.

Create a questionaire for your test group and have them
rate the fragrances and products you'd like to carry on a scale
from 1 to 10, 1 being the most desirable. Make a list
of 20 to 25 from the fragrances we list at www.springdalespa.com
List the products you'd like to carry and a variety of sizes.

Analyze the complete questionaire and then order the
top 10 to 15 fragrance in lotion samples. Regroup
with your test group and have them rate the lotion
samples from 1 to 10, 1 being the most desirable.
You now have the most sellable fragrances for
your demographic group.

Custom Scents for Private Label Bath and Body

We've designed custom blends for many of our private label clients.  It's not uncommon to want an exclusive blend that's only yours.

The custom scent blends that we produce for you will never be sold to another client.

Our custom blend charge includes a four ounce bottle of lotion for you to experiment with, or to run by your test panel of clients or friends.

If you are interested in a custom blend please visit www.springdalespa.com

Specialty Packaging for Private Label Bath and Body

Many of our clients provide us with specialty containers for their private label products.

It would be impossible for us to have these choices as stock choices in our warehouse, but we are glad to fill specialty containers for you.

In helping a new client find sources for his containers I discovered that Cospack is a great company to work with.  They have many in stock choices with quantities as low as 500.  Their non stock choices are wonderful with many upscale looks to choose from, and you need about a 10 week lead time for production.  Many other companies that I checked with have atleast a 14 week lead time for production.

If you'd like more information about our private label program please visit www.springdalespa.com

If you need help in putting together your own bath and body line we are available for consulting, and have a great graphic designer who can help you with your logo, package design, and adds.
