Soap, Soap everywhere….but where?

As a business owner I often receive donation requests from a wide variety of organizations. I am fortunate enough to have been able to accommodate most donation requests that I have received. I'm sure as my business grows I will need to pick and choose where my donations go but I am not there quite yet. All of the donation requests are from wonderful organizations and I am pleased to help them. Our most recent donations were assorted products to the Lamoille Area Cancer Network for the Sweet Hearts Dance which helps families that are stricken with cancer, we also donated samples to the Stowe Hope Weekend and our biggest donation ever was for an event that occurred today. This event was not for families with sickness but it was to encourage people to exercise.

Roughly 300 of 3000 soap samples :0)

About 500 samples

Here are all 3000 samples in boxes almost ready to go.

Ok, so all of these cute little soap samples went to the runners at the Burlington City marathon. The marathon was held on Sunday morning and the weather was quite nice, maybe a bit warm but not rainy. Several of our friends ran in the marathon and did quite well, I think. One friend ran it in 3 hours and 17 minutes and I think she rocks for that time :0)

Congratulations' to all the runners for getting out there and trying your best, that's awesome!

If you are local, the annual Sigrid and Trace Remembrance run will be held on June 8^th at Peoples Academy. It is a great event and the proceeds go to the scholarship funds that were set up in Sigrid & Trace's names.

That's a whole lotta soap! How are you cutting the sample bars?

[Pam Keller]

so, how much business did you get from these samples. Just curious if this is a good marketing technique.

Pam, I have not received any additional business that I am aware of yet. I have gotten several favorable responses from runners that have received the soaps. I assume that it will take a little time to recognize the benefits from this type of donation. Thanks.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
