Dear Criss,

In the lab
This
year we've decided to change up our product line by discontinuing a few
soaps and adding a few new ones. And, as you know, Laura loves to play
mad scientist so this has been fun! Stay tuned to our Lab updates to find out which scents will stay and which won't.
Have a suggestion for a scent you'd like us to try? Let us know! |
A word about our 2008 pricing ....
It is a source of great pride to us that Golden Sage hasn't had a
price increase in several years. Unfortunately, the economy has caused
us to change our position.
As we planned our budget for 2008, we noted that the price of raw
materials has increased substantially. The price of patchouli
essential oil has shot through the roof and word 'on the street' is
that lavender will soon follow.
We contemplated changing
our recipes to utilize cheaper ingredients to avoid a price increase.
However, in doing so, we
feel that we would be compromising the integrity of our products. And,
rather than compromise, we've decided to have a small price increase.
Effective January 1,
2008, we implemented this 'bump' in pricing. Soaps that were
$5.00 will now be $5.50. Our 'Buy 4, Get 1 Free!' soap promotion will
be effected as well and will now be $22.00 - which is still an amazing
deal! We thank you for your continued business and for your support. Our
customers mean the world to us! If you have any questions regarding
this increase (or anything else for that matter, please feel free to
drop us a note. We're always happy to chat.
