| May, 2012. We recently sent emails to 200
random customers asking for their feedback.
Gasoline has caused UPS costs to rise
INSANELY and is causing some customers to order less
frequently and also making your price of the soap rise
because of the shipping.
So, we had this idea. What if we were to
slightly change the size of our soap loaves (and the prices,
accordingly) to fit in Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes?
How big of a change?
Let’s use a loaf of lavender for example.
Before, a loaf of lavender was $24.00 and you could
get 12, 4 oz bars out of it. With our change, the lavender
loaf is now $20 and you can get 10, 4 ounce bars of soap
from the loaf. (BUT, DRASTIC SAVINGS ON SHIPPING FOR SIMPLY
SHORTENING THE LOAF!)
6 loaves of the new sized soap will fit
into a large USPS (U.S. Post Office) Flat Rate box for only
$14.65 – whether you live in Connecticut or California! If
you only order 3 loaves, the box ships for only $10.95.
Recently, a California customer ordered 9
loaves of soap and the box cost (by UPS) $43.00! Ouch.

87% of customers
polled said "YES, absolutely make the change!"
10% said, "maybe
it could work"
only 3% said,
"no, don't change a thing." |

Soap By the Loaf Wholesale soap loaves
ready to be cut and labeled with your own company name. NEW - LOWER
MINIMUM. Order minimum now only 3 loaves of soap instead of 6 !
 
check out our
BARGAIN SOAP LOAVES. We've added six loaves of soap priced
from $16.00 to $17.00.
Soap by the loaf offers wholesale natural soap in bulk for resale.
Entire loaves of soap are ready for you to cut into bars and label
with your own company name. Large soap blocks now available at a
discounted price over single loaves.
All of our wholesale soap loaves begin with base oils of coconut,
soybean, olive oil and shea butter. They are scented with real
essential oils from plants and do not contain artificial chemical
fragrance.. Some specialty soaps may contain added oils such as
cocoa butter or castor oil.
Why buy wholesale soap from our company? First of all, we've been
doing this for over ten years now. If there is one thing we know, it
is soap. Also, Soap by the Loaf and Aromagregory only uses real
essential oils in our soaps. We know that it can be extremely
confusing when customers are shopping around for wholesale soap,
especially when the fragrance oil versus essential oil debate
begins. If you are looking for high quality wholesale soap made from
only real essential oils, one way to determine exactly what you are
getting is by looking at the price. Fragrance oil can be very
affordable while real essential oils - which come from plants - have
prices based on the type of plant and the crop performance. So, when
you find wholesale soap for only $15 dollars a loaf, it is most
likely made with artificial fragrance. Pricing is an important
factor when trying to decide whether your supplier will be
delivering a soap that is truly natural.
Also, does the supplier list ALL of the ingredients in the soap? So
many wholesale soap companies talk about their olive oil soaps when,
in fact, the soap is a mixture of several oils - one of them being
olive oil. In the United States, if olive oil is IN the soap, it is
perfectly legal for a soap maker to refer to the soap as olive oil
soap, even though it is not made entirely of olive oil.
Soap by the Loaf and Aromagregory tells you every single ingredient
found in our wholesale soap. The list is simple - olive oil, coconut
oil, soybean oil and shea butter. The scent comes from real plant
based essential oils and the color comes from oxides and pigments -
in other words, the same colorant used to make mineral makeup.
handmade soap loaves measure 12 inches long x 3 inches wide x 2.5
inches high.
handmade soap blocks measure 12 inches long x 9 inches wide x 2.5
inches high.
Online shopping now open and ready for purchasing wholesale soap
loaves with Visa, Mastercard or Discover.
  
---------
Along with this, we've lowered the
prices on all soap loaves and blocks of soap that you previously
found on the site. Those soaps and now known as PREMIUM SOAPS.
Which brings us to our new line of
BARGAIN SOAP LOAVES. We've added six loaves of new soap priced
from $16.00. What makes these bargain soaps different from
our regular line of premium soaps? They are lighter on the
essential oils. Don't worry, we chose essential oils that
still come through with scent such as mints and lemongrass.
See our full line of new Bargain Soaps to the right of each page,
right under the premium soaps.

TESTIMONIALS
I own a essential oil and herb company and manufacture blended oil
and herb products. I was needing to add something to my line to
boost sales ... attract that customer who did not need one of my
other products and to use in packages. Aromagregory was great
in assisting me with selecting a line of soap loaves that fit my
customer line. The soap sales gave myself and my distributors an
immediate boost. They work wonderful in sale packages. It attracts
the customers who do not know much about or need oil and herb
products. The interest in the soap has brought sales to our other
products. The most important thing other than the sales boost is
Aromagregory offers some of the best customer service on the market
today, which means so much to a business owner going in several
directions. Thanks

"My mother gave me a bar of your lavender rosemary that she raves
about all the time. I spend a lot of time outdoors and my skin gets
really dry. Since I started using the natural soap my skin feels
really smooth. It helped when it came time to start my own business
and being able to order soap by the loaf has increased my sales."
Linda Owens, Friendswood, TX
"Adding your soap to my product line really helped sales in my gift
basket business. At first, we just used the soap as a filler in our
gift baskets. Now, some customers come back just wanting to buy the
soap and we're making money without even having to make a basket."
Trina Ezra, Newport Beach, CA
"I have used soap made by Aromagregory for over 5 years. My all
time favorite, and one I cannot get away from is Lemongrass Sage.
The soap leaves a very clean feel. One of my teenagers spent the
night with a friend and used detergent soap from the grocery store.
She came back home and said, 'Remind me to take soap next time. That
other made me itch.' " Now I order loaves of soap to give as
Christmas gifts each year.
Sandra James, Goodlettsville, TN
"I looked all over the internet trying to find wholesale soap. After
so many disappointments, we were so thrilled when we found your
website. It is just the best soap we've ever used. The customers in
our store just can't get enough of it and don't mind paying five
dollars for a bar of good quality soap.Lucky for me I buy wholesale
because my family ends up stealing at least a third of the soap we
order from you."
Betty Mason, Staten Island, New York
"There were so many businesses selling wholesale soap that we were
overwhelmed by the options. After doing a little research, we found
that many of the suppliers were selling fragrance oil soap as
essential oils. I am glad to have found a soap supplier that we can
buy wholesale from that only deals with real essential oils. By the
way, I love the minty eucalyptus soap. Will be ordering more soon."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS about
the soap loaves: For the full list of questions and answers, visit
our information page
here.
Do you have a minimum
ordering amount?
Aromagregory wants to make it easy for small business to succeed in the
natural market. Our ordering minimum is low -- only 3 loaves.
They do NOT have to be of the same type....you can order different soap
loaves. Why do we do this? Soap by the Loaf was designed for
business owners wanting to incorporate handmade soap into their line of
products -- not as a place where retail customers have a place to order
good soap (strictly for their own use) at a wholesale price. We also
do this to protect our wholesale clients --- after all, you need a
customer to sell to, right?
How large are your
wholesale soap loaves?
soap logs measure at 12" long, 3" wide and
approx 2.5" high. With the width we choose to cut our
own soaps, we get a return of 10 bars per loaf that weigh in around 3.8 -
4 ounces per bar, depending on the formula and botanical contents.
What are your wholesale
soap prices?
Soap by the Loaf IS a
wholesale site, open to the public. All prices you see on this website are wholesale
prices.
Will you ship to Canada?
Australia?
we only ship soap
within the Continental United States.
How large are your
soap BLOCKS?
each soap LOAF was
cut from a larger BLOCK of soap. A soap BLOCK is 3 loaves of soap
that has not been cut into loaves. Soap BLOCKS measure 12" x 9" x
2.5" high. Soap blocks give you greater freedom in choosing how to
cut your soap into BARS to create your company's own, unique size of soap.
Soap BLOCKS cost around 10% less than buying three loaves.
How much does each
loaf weigh?
freshly made, each soap loaf still contains a higher amount of water
content which will evaporate as the curing process takes place. Each
loaf weighs approx 3 lbs. Soap blocks weigh approximately 9 pounds each.

I called your Nashville
store and the girl who answered the phone was of NO help at all.
What's up?
The retail store has nothing to do with wholesale or soap by the loaf.
The
staff cannot answer your bulk soap questions. The Nashville store is a
retail bath and body shop.
