Americana

HOME OF THE RED, WHITE & BLUE

Many summer-lovers profess Independence Day to be their favorite holiday. Its a perfect opportunity to enjoy some leisure time with friends and family. If the weather cooperates many enjoy picnics, fireworks and finger foods as part of the tradition. It has been reported that Americans consume an estimated 155 million hot dogs on the Fourth of July. Thats roughly one hot dog for every two people in the USA. Popular sweet treats for summer picnics like ice cream, popsicles and watermelon are all delicious, yet terribly messy. Encourage your customers to wash up with some patriotic bar soap that was handmade in the USA.

Summer is the perfect time to market your soap as Made in the USA. Look to the article titled, Manufacturing Claims - Made in the USA on page 28 of this issue for instruction on labeling your products. Amp up your line with some special patriotic packaging. Use white organza bags and white soap boxes with red and blue ribbon to dress up your inventory.

Red, white and blue color themes allow for a diverse range of scents. Cherries, apples and strawberries pair well with red soaps, lotions and washes. Vanilla, sugar and various blossom scents pair well with white. Blueberry, hyacinth, ocean mists and more will pair well with anything blue. Have fun using these colors with your summer product line and dont forget your stars and stripes!
