Growing my business

My business started very small.  My son and I visited Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco for his 4th grade Trip to the Capitol (Sacramento, Ca).  There we bought bath salts from a vendor on the Wharf and we were hooked from that point forward.  I started making my own and then decided to start a small business doing it.  My product line grew with every friend who handed me a product saying "Can you make this?"  So my best selling product has been my Dead Sea Salt Scrub based loosely on the a famouse maker's salt scrub.  It is truly an amazing product!  It exfoliates the skin and then the minerals in the Dead Sea salt permeate that fresh healthy skin and helps to heal in many different  areas from skin diseases to anxiety.  In addition to the Dead Sea minerals, the oils in the scrub are great for your skin and penetrate deeply into the skin to make it soft and supple.  So far I haven't done much advertising because I simply haven't had the budget.  My entire business has been built on word of mouth and drive-by internet sales.  So I really need to take my business to the next level and really get it producing great income so that I can make a financial contribution to my family.
