A Black Friday Sale for Our Family Business

The employees are pretty cute, I think.

Almost five years ago I started a little business in my home, Apple Valley Natural Soap. I learned how to make shampoo bars, and after one year of hard work I started actually turning a small profit. Five years later we have a thriving business that provides income for our family, several older children, and another family.

Our Kitchen Sink bars are rock hard and long lasting. They smell awesome. They look cool, too. Perfect by any sink – even for KIDS!

I have rarely mentioned this business on this blog, mainly because I’ve wanted this blog to be ad-free. And I still do. But now that I’m on my own here, I feel like I should share this other part of my world with you periodically because it does play such a big role in my life.

Lil MAN Shampoo/Body Bar | Apple Valley Natural Soap

We’ve got soap for little girls and little guys – to wash both hair and body in one easy, great smelling, all natural step.

We’ve got a sale going on for Black Friday (that’s tomorrow!) But we only advertise the sale to our newsletter subscribers.

We’ve got a fast-growing list of active subscribers who get 1-2 newsletters each month highlighting free stuff (YES!), deeply discounted stuff (we botch up sometimes – and YOU get the great deals through secret links! How excitingly mysterious is THAT?), sales on favorite products, heads up on our limited editions (fun bars that only last on our shelves a few days before they are gone forever – and we have a new fun soap every single month), and information about our brand new products.

Here are some more good reasons to subscribe:

1. It’s free. And if you find it dry and stuffy, you can easily unsubscribe.

2. Our newsletter is not dry and stuffy.

3. All new subscribers get a coupon for 10% off an order. It can be used one time on ANY order.

Why wouldn’t you pop over there right now to subscribe? If you subscribe TODAY you will get our Black Friday newsletter that goes out early tomorrow morning. You won’t want to miss the sales, but you will if you don’t subscribe. I’ll admit, we play favorites. We don’t cater to the world at large. Our aim is to make our customer base ecstatically happy. Come be part of our community!

      When I used the return to send the information, suddenly the fields were blank. I *thought* there was a problem, but apparently not as I found two emails in my in box! O.o
