Along with the births of our nephews & nieces came eczema a skin aliment that was not familiar to our family. Simultaneously, while we were setting up our business, we discovered that opening a Salon & Spa was not going to be easy. We needed to raise capital and I came up with the idea to sell baskets with lotion, soap and body spray. Me being the person that I am, I wanted those products to bear our name. I did a extensive search on the internet and found several companies that did private labeling. We ended up having a full line of bath & body products and at the time I was very happy with the private label company that we were using. I had always had a interest in making handmade items, the conversations I had with the private label owner peaked my interest.
I never thought that I would be interested in this sort of thing. I was interested in Information Technology not bath & body products and least of all not making it!
Although, at this time the handmade bath & body industry was not new. There were only a small number of people making products. At that time handmade product makers did not like to share their list of suppliers, and it was by accident that I discovered the supplier that my

We had realized that the minimum cost of the product wins the market share so we started experimenting with S/Q Ratings and percentage of superior materials to come up with the best product with the least cost price.

Burt's Bees has the benefit of using every single natural product yet can offer a wide range of things that are sound and stylish. Further, Ocean Cosmetics’s conveyance and marketing are frail. Its products are sold in just a couple of outlets in one US area, the Northwest. Another worry identifies with Carol's capacities to grow her business. In the event that she chooses to accentuate development as an objective, the business could do well. In any case, then again, she has no past encounters (and maybe no instructive foundation) with overseeing development. These weaknesses are frequently connected with little, new ventures like Ocean Cosmetics. Another weakness is that Carol does not presently have a patent on her cream. At last, despite the fact that Carol's relationship with Sage Shipping can be consider a quality, it can likewise be a weakness if, for instance, Sage were to close and leave Ocean Cosmetics without a supplier for a significant number of its ingredients and compartments. Given different sellers exist for makers of skin care products, Ocean Cosmetics would have the capacity to distinguish different suppliers yet it would be a tedious
