Wholesale? Of Course!

One of the increasingly popular questions we get asked here at The Soapy Cauldron is 'Do you offer wholesale?'. In a word, Yes!

We launched our Wholesale website one rainy October day back in 2009 on the idea that if we build it, they will come. And you did. It's transformed the way we do things here at the Cauldron and all for the better. We still hand make all of our Soaps, Bath Bombs and other bath and body products, but we do it on a grand scale. Last month our head Truffle Maker, John, made more than 4,000 Cocoa Butter Bath Truffles. Good man!

We still make everything to order, so once you've made your selection we need time to create it and cure it to perfection, usually about 10 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays. Even we need a rest! Plus, the couriers don't work...) though we will always try to work quicker if you have a particular deadline. Within reason ;)

We choose the volumes we sell with care, usually it's to help you create a vibrant display with a good stock level to keep the masses fragrantly happy. We've also put together some retail packages to take the stress out of ordering. Feel free to choose your fragrances, or you can leave it up to use to create a package. This option is great as a starter, then ordering after that will be refills. We offer a low minimum order of just £50 too, great for small businesses just wanting to dip a toe in the water. All of our products come with full INCI Ingredient labels, Batch Codes (creation dates) and manufacturers information along with the reassurance that we comply fully with the EU Cosmetic Regulations as demanded in Law.

Our door is always open, if you are local or fancy a day in Sussex, why not pop in and see us in action? We have an open door policy though it may be advisable to call ahead in case we have a workshop or birthday party in session. It can get noisy!

We love to hear from you as well, please do send in stories, compliments from your customers and above all, pictures. We want to show you off!

Is there a product you'd like to see that we don't currently offer at wholesale, please drop us a line at admin@thesoapycauldron.co.uk with your suggestions and we'll see what we can do.

New Year, New Site

Hi everyone! 

So, after a brief hiatus while we 'did Christmas', we're back with a quick update for you all.

Things here were *manic*, so much so that we decided to close for 2 weeks between Christmas and New Year to give all of us a chance to recover from the 9am-11pm days we were working. One thing we did notice this year was that people were leaving Wholesale ordering very late indeed! We only started turning people away mid December so we did our level best to help everyone that came to us.



Once again, Christmas Spice (or Arkle Sparkle as you may know it!) was the biggest selling fragrance which isn't a surprise as it's such a marvellous scent! Snow Queen was the surprise as it was a new scent for us, we weren't sure how it would fare but it did amazingly well so we think we will keep it on for 2014. Yes, we really do plan that far ahead!

So now we are looking forward to Easter with some gorgeous new soap cakes. Valentines Day is almost upon us and the special Love-Duck soaps are already sold out. Wowzers! Don't forget ladies, hints don't work. Just tell them you want Soapy Cauldron goodies ;)

So, the big news- our Brand New Website is now live and fully operative, only 3 months overdue! BNW is smoother, slicker and easier to use with a gorgeously clear layout. We're all in love with it, even if the backend is taking a bit of getting used to for us. We've got a few pictures to update and buckets of SEO to do but it's a great step forward for us. Why not take a look and tell us what you think? www.thesoapycauldron.com

Anyway, that's all from us for the time being, we will be back with more snippets from TSC soon :)
