Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Barang Chick's Epic Marketing Fail

Post by prahocalypse now »

A barang chick who is trying to sell $60 worth of soapmaking ingredients has made the fatal mistake of targeting the Kampot barang community.


From the Kampot noticeboard:
Sylvia Merton


ALL YOU SOAPMAKERS......
I have for sale
6 kilo. Ready made melt and pour soap base. No chemicals
1/2 kilo beeswax pellets
2 bottle of hypoallergenic shampoo base
1. soap mould.
ALL for 60$
Look how much you can make from this, just add colour and scents .

That last post is a beauty. Selling soap in Kampot would be the toughest gig in the world surely.

Might get it for personal use.... Looking for a weekend project and have never given a second thought to how soap is made. But have no clue if the price is reasonable.
