This is a rare opportunity to take part in a cooperative product acquisition effort organized by NaturalNews.com and designed to help consumers eliminate the toxic chemicals found in manufactured laundry detergent products. A few months ago, we announced a product called Maggie's Soap Nuts -- a natural soap and laundry detergent made from the dried shells of berries that grow on the soap berry tree. The reader response was tremendous, and over a thousand people have tried the product and liked it!
We received a lot of feedback about the soap berries. Readers were thrilled to find a natural soap product that worked so well and yet contained no synthetic chemicals or toxic fragrance additives. But we also received complaints about the price of the product. It was just too expensive, people told us, and they wanted something that was more competitive with the popular laundry detergents sold in stores. They were also concerned about the large amount of packaging used with the soap nuts, and they wanted something more eco-friendly that doesn't use such expensive packaging with color printing.
Our cooperative acquisition of soap berriesHere at NaturalNews, our primary mission is to serve the interests of you, our readers. In response to all the email and phone calls about these soap berries, we've decided to consider putting together a co-op soap berry buying arrangement where we pool the product demand of our readers and approach the various soap berry producers around the world to find the best price (and quality) for a bulk purchase. By doing this, we'll be able to acquire soap berries at a significantly reduced price while using more eco-friendly packaging.
To participate in this NaturalNews reader co-op arrangement, simply click here to send us an email and tell us the following information:
1) How many KILOs of soap berries would you be interested in purchasing? (Can be approximate. One kilo equals 2.2 pounds and can clean from 100 - 150 loads of laundry.) This is not actually a reservation; it's just an email survey of how many kilos of soap berries our readers might want.
2) Your first and last name.
3) The city, state and country in which you live.
The estimated price to you (see below) will be around $30 per kilo, which is less than half the current retail price of similar products. The final price may actually be lower, but we won't know until we approach the producers and calculate the total costs.
You do not have to actually commit to buying what you want to reserve, nor do you have to place an order right now. We're just trying to gauge the approximate demand for bulk-packaged soap berries. Remember, too, that soap berries can be used to clean laundry, hair, skin, countertops, children's play areas and much more. I'm going to be using this to make pet shampoo, body wash, garage cleaner and a natural veggie wash. The saponins are extremely versatile. Anywhere that you need soap, you can use soap berries (even on carpet!).
We will then take this aggregate product demand and approach Maggie's Soap Nuts and other companies to get the best price possible on the total demand (which might be 2,000 kilos of soap berries, for example). Once we acquire the best price, we will front the money to buy this shipment of soap berries and have it brought to our fulfillment center near Phoenix, Arizona (or, shipped to other continents depending on demand, see below...). From there, we will offer the product through www.BetterLifeGoods.com at the best price we can manage. (We will need to have some markup in order to cover the up-front cash requirements, shipping, customs clearance, fulfillment costs, storage costs and other logistics overhead, but the bottom line savings to everyone will be tremendous.)
