Handmade Soap goods are high quality.


Reasons You Should Buy
Handmade Products over Commercial Products
1.
Handmade products are unique. Do you really want the
same scarf, mug, earrings, necklace or other item that
20,000 other people have? Of course not! Handmade items
are always unique, even if they are the same type of
product because they are not made by machines they are
crafted by human beings so each piece will have it's own
unique characteristics.

Handmade items have personality. Life is not about being
blah. Life is about expressing yourself and to do that
your things need to have as much personality as you do.
If you are happy with buying mass produced items that
have no personality off a shelf at Wal Mart think about
what that says about you. Don't you want to express some
personality?
3. Handmade items are special. When you
get a gift don't you feel a little bit more loved when
someone gives you a handmade gift? Everyone loves
getting handmade gifts or wearing something that was
made just for them.
4. Handmade items last longer.
Because they are made from high quality materials and
handcrafted by trained artists items that are handmade
last longer than low quality imported mass produced
items.
5. Handmade goods are high quality. If you are
a person who values the quality of an item more than the
price then you already know that handmade items are far
superior to mass produced items. While a mass produced
item may be cheaper initially is it really cheaper when
the item needs to be replaced a month later? When
quality matters, go handmade!
6. Handmade items are
not made by children in sweatshops in Third World
countries making 10 cents a day. Experienced and trained
craftspeople make each handmade item. So while you might
pay a few dollars more for a handmade item it's because
you are paying for quality, experience, talent, and
craftsmanship. Isn't that worth paying for?
7. When
you buy handmade you are supporting traditional arts and
crafts techniques that have passed down through
generations. In today's high tech world the old arts and
crafts traditions are being replaced by mass production
but when you buy handmade you are saying that you prefer
your items to be high quality pieces of art instead of
mass produced trinkets.
8. When you buy handmade you
are supporting local and small businesses. By paying
artists and craftspeople for their goods you are
supporting them and all the businesses that they do
business with. If you are a person who believes in
supporting your community economically then buying from
local artists is a great way to support your community
and make sure that your money goes to support local
businesses.
Keep these things in mind the next time
you see a scarf, a bracelet, some great handmade soap or
other item and think, I could get that for half price
at Wal Mart.!
