About the Crafter
I was in the process of looking for a job when I came across a lady in my town that had her own store. She made handcrafted natural bath and body products. I thought it would be nice to work there knowing I like Bath and Body Works products. She agreed and I started working. I learned how to make the soaps first and then moved on to making other bath and body products. I got to where I would make most of the products in the store and I took real pride in making them. After sometime, people who came into the store thought I was the owner.
As I learned more on making the products, I realized that all naturally made products is the way to go. In my own researching at our library and the Internet, I found that many commercial bath and body products today contain additives, animal fats, lanolin, preservatives, synthetic detergents and products containing these ingredients are causing harmful conditions and cancer.
I became efficient in making the products and gained a knowledge of running the business. Customers would enjoy coming into the store because of the friendliness and personal attention I gave each customer. In time, I felt that I could make much more money then working there by having my own business. So, I left that business and started my own.
To begin my business, I had to establish a name for the business, so I named my business after our youngest daughter, Katie, who was born in 2004. The business name is Katie's Emporium and Soaps, and the business was born in her name. Our business works hard to bring you bath and body products that are visually appealing and nice smelling scents to lift your spirits. Our products are free of additives, animal fats, detergents, lanolin, and preservatives. The scented Body Dews we make do not contain alcohol. Ours are alcohol-free; alcohol is what dries out your skin, you should stay away from products that contain alcohol. The handcrafted products of Body Butters, Body Dews, Lotions, Shower Gels and Soaps all represent a unique fragrance experience.
Katie's Soaps also provides loaf soaps that are cut to your specifications and soaps made in individual soap molds. We also make Baby and Wedding Shower Favors that are popular unique gifts. These favors are fun to make and to see the delighted faces on customers who purchase them is such a joy.
Aside from the Bath and Body products, we make handcrafted Body Warmers and Cold Packs. These products are becoming a popular item, especially for follow-up therapy or just to help in aches and pain. As a seamstress, with many years of experience, I take real pride in making them.
Consumers don't buy products solely on price. It is however a factor, but consumers do buy based on the benefits products brings them. This is why my websites has centered on the benefits of our products in order for consumers to take an interest in purchasing our products.
