A Sea of Samples

Tierra Verde Handmade Soaps - Samples

Tierra Verde Handmade Soaps hearts customers!

Soapmakers are generally a thrifty group that tend to utilize materials to the fullest - often we save packing materials, boxes and oil buckets to re-purpose in some utilitarian way. Packing and packaging materials can be used again to send yet another package out. Buckets can be re-purposed into glorious large pots for tomatoes and other summer crops or to store other soapmaking materials.

So naturally, we figure out a way to make the most of our soapy offcuts. Due to the way I trim my soap I always have a reasonable amount of offcut. Offcuts then become samples to send out with orders - I mean who doesn't love getting a sample or two with your order - it's a great deal for everyone; offcuts don't go to waste and the customer gets to "test drive" a  soap that is from what they ordered. Winning! :))
