Answer 1

you need a gimmick, i.e. make floating soap, so after children finish their bath the soap floats, so it  dosen't sit on the bottom getting waterlogged.

Answer 2

You need to have some point of difference to your products, have a think about what you could offer to win customers over to your product. You also need to market it.

Answer 3

do you have a web page? Are you shipping products? Need more info please.

Answer 4

you are selling souls. good luck.

Answer 5

its all about the marketing. cheap marketing ideas to begin with:

1.write press releases

2. word of mouth

3. check out the beauty questions on yahoo anwsers maybe u can recommend your product in some cases - best to have a webpage for ppl to click on

4. contact beauty product retailers ask them to stock your line.  you might give away the first x no. of stock to them i.e. they sell (at your determined rrp) and keep all products - this is an incentive for them to stock and introduce customers 2 your products.

it is a highly competitive market u're in hope your product has some differentriation.
