According to the report “The U.S. Market for Natural and Organic Personal Care Products” by market research publisher Packaged Facts, the market for natural personal care products reached $5 billion in 2004.\n\nPackaged Facts defines the market as including natural and organic skincare, hair care, oral care and color cosmetic products.\n\n“At $3 billion, skincare is the leading segment of the market, while haircare has had the strongest growth over the five-year period. By 2009, Packaged Facts projects that the natural personal care market will climb to $7.9 billion.”\n\nFactors contributing to the strong growth of the market are the aging baby boomer population and widespread concern about toxic ingredients.

The USA market is huge and there is a move toward everything Organic. You should look for small companies that produce hot sauses and related products, many of them in New Mexico area in the USA. Also, if you can make sause in your area you might be able to export to Organic food suppliers and small grocery stores that only sell Organic food.\n\nThere is a market for your product, if the quality great and the price great.\n\nGood luck.

Most people are not aware of this... the sad thing is that our skin is a sponge and absorbs many of those chemicals.  The same can be said for a lot of the cleaning/laundry products you use every day... Formaldehyde can be found in tooth paste and even baby shampoo... most people believe that if it is sold in stores it must be safe... sad truth is that many of the chemicals in our house hold and beauty products have never even been tested for their effects on humans...\n\nIf you are interested in learning more about products that are safer for you and your family... I work with an Inc 500 Company that carries five product lines of items that are the best of science and nature... they are safer, less expensive, just as effective, and better for the environment.  These lines cover almost anything you would use to clean your house, do your dishes, laundry, plus personal care items... toothpaste, shampoo, lotions, they have a complete cosmetic line, and even offer over the counter medicines and patented vitamins.  Contact me through yahoo360 or IM.

Hi Joy,\n\nSome possibilities that you may or may not have tried:\n\n* Referral program for existing customers\n\n* VIP program for high-value customers\n\n* Value-add services, such as pedicure, massage, etc - you could do this in partnership with other specialists\n\n* Free initial consultation with $x worth of treatment at no obligation\n\n* Regular 'maintenance' plan - ie: fixed price per month for a range of regular services/treatments\n\nThese are just a few ideas without knowing you or your particular salon or customers.\n\nEssentially, you should develop a marketing plan. You may find it hard to start the process, but once you get going you will find it easier to finish. You need to identify your key target markets and then establish the most effective way of attracting those people to your business.\n\nThe key to this is providing an unforgettable level of service, so people are reluctant to leave your premises and will tell others how fantastic your service is.\n\nAll the best of luck with it and whatever you do stick with it. Each success will provide you with more strength to continue.\n\nCheers\nAlister\nhttp://www.marketscience.com.au

There is this direct sales company called Girls Night In.  It's very new and only has a few consultants.  They have some cool stuff for everyone (not makeup or skin care).  You may want to check out this website for more direct sales companies.  \n\nhttp://www.internetbasedmoms.com/direct-sales/

Try Makeup Alley.  There's a Swap section where people give away, trade or sell stuff they don't want.  Some people have been known to buy up stuff that's being discontinued so they can sell at a profit, so you may have to pay big bucks if it's something popular.

I'm trying. I am starting my own body/skin care line with all natural products and no harmful preservatives. It will take time but I like beauty stuff and HATE working for other people.

Good idea.  Getting a jump on the purchasing aspect is the ONLY way to go.  For equipment go to www.directsupply.com.  They have a wide variety of the things you mentioned for the spa and just about everything else in the Health-Care industry.  For accessories at your boutique, I found a great general web-site that'll direct you to the different categories of your choosing; www.boutiquestuff.com.  Wish you the best.
