Record Number of Entrepreneurs Signing Up for Private Soap Making Classes & Consulting

Despite the economy, I've had a record number of entrepreneurs signing up for private soap making classes and consulting. Their stories range from finding their passion to supplementing their current income. The top two segments to date have been: nurses looking to sell to colleagues and create a small, part-time businesses; and goat farmers interested in starting their own goats milk soap companies.

This reflects the growing trend to think and act locally - one of the results of the economic situation in the U.S. It isn't a bad side effect. It's interesting how it is coaxing us back to our roots to emulate generations before us.

This trend prompts me to predict that this year is going to be a strong year for local farmer's markets. As long as farmer's can keep their produce and products reasonably competitive with store brands, they should have a stellar season.

If you are interested in learning to make soap from scratch in a group environment, sign up for the April 18 cold process soap making class. Or, if you are ready to take an exciting step to launching your bath and body business, email me for more information on private classes and consulting. There are several programs to choose from, and I will tailor it to fit your needs. If you live out of state you can arrange for a teleclass.

Workshops are held in my Duxbury, Massachusetts studio. Back Porch Soap Company is located just 30 minutes south of Boston.

Visiting from out of state? I will gladly assist you with travel plans, including accommodations and local areas of interest. With Plymouth Rock and Plimoth Plantation only 20 minutes away, this is a perfect family destination!

Do you or your group want to learn how to make soap, bath and body products or how to launch your own bath and body business? I am currently booking into June 2009. Available for travel in U.S., Canada, Carribean and Europe. Minimum 10 students.
