First Friday – September 2024

Desert Skin Essentials – Web Epiphany & Margaret — It was a HOT one, some take aways was that I should have brought the lotions and sprays in a cooler… Since the liquidish lotion that pumped out all over the ground and splattered around… One of the points was suppose to be that the sprays would have been cooling misters and I missed the window of opportunity!  I’m not sure why sales weren’t better? Do I have the formulation right? Was the price too high at $8/$15? I do sell the product at the lower prices $5.00 / $10.00, but I was losing money as it cost $6.66 me per small bottle; this means I have to get my costs down… I sit here free writing this article tonight to just get my thoughts down… I have found other bottle resources that bring that cost down a bit plus it will give me the aesthetics I’m looking for. I still need to make a website – I think I’m torn in buying a new url, when I liked desert essence skin – I still think that sounds better than Desert Skin Essentials I wish I had more of a sounding board. Anyway, First Friday wasn’t as lucrative as some First Friday’s not sure but it does get me out there.

I believe in these products as a healing, lotion / Skin Conditioners …
