Packaging

[OSP]

These are all great ideas.

I have to say though I have never really liked samples as you just don't get the same experience as a full tub/bar.

Thanks for all your inputs!

One thing that hit me as I as whipping up the OSP Grapefruit & Menthol this morning is that the labels need to be removable fairly easily, and without disintegrating, if peeps are going to put a new label on a used tub.

Also, we all have be realistic, and see that if James does too good a job of a selection box that it could hurt sales of full size.

No doubt there is a lot more work in doing the selections, and that has to be paid for in the final price.

A fine line to tread.

Personal opinion, I'm not keen on soap samples either. I'd rather buy the full size and if I don't like it then punt it on

Set true. You'd probably lose less money doing it that way than buying samples anyway!

excellent ideas James - great to see you thinking of reducing costs and unnecessary packaging.

keep up the good work!

It is the scent I am after and preloved soap is not my thing so I like samples

Well done James, great idea, very proactive.
I also like @nolisco's view of self stick labels. Even better if they're waterproof.

Well with regard samples, what I am considering is doing scent samples. This will be a small amount of glycerine with scent. Not used for shaving but just so you can get an idea what the fragrance is.

That would do it for me because it is all about scent I do not doubt OSP lather at all.

If you are looking for OSP samples from a retailer then Connaught have most of his soaps represented.

It's a brilliant idea.

I am not looking for sized down contained soaps, a scent library would work well for me as an intro to the world of OSP

Brilliant idea !!!

Really good idea, I've got a question though. How would you then lather up?I'd also like to see little shave sticks. Kind of like Palmolive. I travel a fair bit with work so that'd be ideal.

You either put it in your own container or one of mine. or you could just load up by holding the soap. i have done that before

@OSP / James

Am I right in thinking you could / would be doing the shaving creams in the pouches as well as the soaps and tonics?

As a newbie I have picked up a few of the 70g creams, and a couple of the 140g soaps. Not totally sure which I prefer, as they are both great.

Cheers, John
