I am thinking of setting up a business selling bath cosmetics do u think it's a good idea?

We all love coming home after a hard stressful day at work and getting into a hot bath surrounded by aromatherapy oils and top quality soaps. That's what I intend to sell. Give me your opinions.


I myself love bath products tell me what u think.

well, speaking as an experienced business woman, very much involved in marketing, My professional advice would be...Try a different idea. There are already so many companies out there selling the same thing, and you would lose alot of money. Its just not marketable. Alot of people have tried this sort of thing before. Bath bombs, soap, shampoos,body wash, bath salts, bath oils.... i've seen it all. Its nothing you can't pick up in a kit from the mall. I've been gifted SEVERAL sets over the years, every year, for christmas, and corporate parties...nobody wants or needs MORE. And in the recession, bath cosmetics are the last thing people will spend their money on. But, if you have an EXTREMELY UNIQUE product, it may sell. But it has to be EXTREMELY UNIQUE. and don't lie to your self that it is unique if you know its not. heres an example. Selling over 50 scents of bath bombs. no one else may have 50 scents, but every bath company sells bath bombs, and most people are not picky about their scents. Besides that, you'll have to compete with all the major bath cosmetic chains like The Bath and Body Works. They are in Canada now you know. They are one of the worlds top selling bath cosmetics brands. soap, perfume, body sprays, room sprays, foaming washes, loofahs, sponges, roll on scents,bath bombs, bath salts, hand sanitizers in the form of lotion, foam or jelly. They are an extremely BIG enterprise.





Im not trying to discourage you, Im just trying to give you the facts. And the facts say, its not very realistic.I am thinking of setting up a business selling bath cosmetics do u think it's a good idea?
If it's your passion then go for it. But it takes a lot and in this economy it will take even more to help start a business. But that's not to say you can't do it. Just don't get yourself stuck in a rut. People aren't likely to buy non-essential things from non-mainstream stores in this time.
