Susan, I just had very basic questions....and I was just testing soap scents/colors/names. Do you like the scent name? (only reason I asked was several had "working" names--like one was called dixie because it was "southerny" but they didn't like they name--either did I.) What would you change the name to? Rank the scents in order of preference. (I sent about 8-10 different soap samples to each one to try) which bars did you think lathered best? (I had some that were made with WSS base & some with SCFI base. I kept track of who got which bases. I did some of each scent in each base--if I poured 10 strawberry I did 5 of each base, then made note of family xx got WSS, family yy got SCFI, but THEY didn't know who got what) Which bars lasted the longest? (again comparing the bases) Was there any scents you would NOT ever consider buying? Overall appeal? (scent, packaging etc) You could also do questions like: Does it feel greasy? How quickly does it soak into the skin? How does your skin feel after using it for 3 (or 5, 7) days? Would you recomend it to family & friends? Would you buy as a gift? alone or as part of a gift set? for the shea butter. I don't know exactly WHICH products you want to test....if you want to post products here or email me I can probably come up with more. (now that I'm past my craft shows I'm planning to try your soap recipies, hopefully this week.) Don't know if any of these help....hope so... Hazel |
