Using Spa Products

Start or add on to a business with bath and spa products

By Rhyah Fletcher
Using spa products is ideal if you want to start or add onto a business. The beauty industry is a rapidly growing field, and anyone who invests in wholesale spa products or natural spa products can begin a profitable business. Spa products include bath salts, bubbles, body scrubs, facial masks, moisturizers, fragrances, oils and soaps.

You aren't regulated to pre-made day spa products when starting a spa business. Homemade bath and spa products are just as popular as brand name products. By utilizing wholesale companies that sell fancy bottles and jars, you can create your own professional spa products. When considering a career avenue don't forget about these options:

1. Buy wholesale spa supplies and retail them at a hair salon or nail salon after coming to an agreement with the salon owner about displays and profits.

2. Offer spa products to massage therapists to use in their work, or use homemade products in your own massage business.

3. Create a homemade line and sell it to salons, wholesale manufacturers, consignment shops or local beauty businesses.

 

Contact wholesale manufacturers of spa products

Order wholesale products and resell them to current clients of a hair salon or other beauty establishment. This is also a great avenue to add to home party sales. Talk to the owners of the different companies and establish a business plan. Salons in small towns or home-based salons will grab the opportunity to sell original, trendy spa products.

Become a consultant with a spa product distribution company

If you don't want to work alone, consider joining a spa products company that specializes in product parties to sell items. Many of these companies allow consultants to sell person-to-person or online. This is a great way to take advantage of the growing bath and beauty field.
Try: Lemongrass Spa Products is a spa products consulting company that utilizes home parties and online resources for selling. Soapier.com is a company that offers consultants the opportunity to do catalog sales or home parties.

Create a website for your own homemade spa products

This is the best option if you really want complete control over your spa products business. And, while most of your products can be your own label, it's also profitable to offer discount spa products you pick up from wholesale companies. This lets you flesh out your spa products line and offer things you may not create.
Try: Research popular spa recipes and then use a trusted source, like the Handcrafter's Companion, to create spa products. Turn to Visual Edge Design for website help, and create a website that meets your spa product retail needs.
