Natural & Organic Products v The Credit Crunch
July 15th, 2008 by XinaBuying natural & organic products needn’t cost the earth. Here at Nature’s Parlour it’s easy to save money and still buy your favourite personal care products. Follow these simple tips and make great savings.

Save on shipping
This is a simple tip that’s often overlooked. Your friends, colleagues, and everyone in your family needs soap, deodorant, shampoo, moisturiser, etc. Why not make all of your purchases in one go and then divide the cost of shipping? When shipping is shared like this, it becomes negligible and you still get your goodies for less than the cost of jumping on public transport. Simple!
Yours naturally

Some good tips there. I think that natural products are bound to suffer in a downturn, especially ones that don’t have a compelling benefit. The good thing is that it will sort out the wheat from the chaff – the firms with poor offerings won’t survive.
Fortunately things in the Parlour have been going from strength to strength. We’ve not noticed a pinch, but there has definitely been a change in spending patterns. It’s clear that people are buying much more products for children and also larger sized liquid soaps, etc. I can only assume that if a customer is feeling the pinch they are making sure that at least their children will benefit from natural/organic products and they’re also making sure that they buy larger products because it works out cheaper in the long run.
