Project Description

Hi everyone, I'm Coach Kb, the heart and soul behind Ready to Live Soaps. and I'm not just a businesswoman; I'm a survivor. You know, my journey wasn't easy. I battled through the depths of depression, and it was in those moments that I found my light in the most unexpected place - a bar of soap. It's funny, isn't it? How the simplest things can sometimes hold the most extraordinary transformations. Finding an unexpected beacon of hope – soap making. What started as a simple discovery turned into a life-saving passion, and now, I'm here to share this transformative experience with the world.

 

The Problem and Our Mission:

Let's face it, mental health issues are a massive challenge today, especially for young adults and those in marginalized communities right here in Georgia. But imagine if we tackled this not with conventional methods, but with creativity, compassion, and a bit of fun. That's what we do at Ready to Live Soaps. We're not your average workshop; we're a haven where creativity meets healing. We aim to bring this unique therapeutic experience to as many people as possible, especially those who often get overlooked.

 

Soap Therapy:

Soap therapy, ever heard of it? Nope, because we made it, Well, it's our special sauce! 

 

Market Opportunity:

Our audience includes the often-overlooked underserved communities, where access to therapeutic and creative outlets is limited. By bringing soap therapy to these groups, we are bringing a solution. This is who we serve at Ready to Live Soaps – individuals from all walks of life, each with their unique story, coming together in a shared journey of healing.

But did you know we're sitting on a goldmine of opportunity in the wellness and travel market? The numbers are staggering – a huge market potential both in the U.S. and globally. And here we are in Atlanta, a bustling hub where travelers are looking for exactly what we offer. We've even teamed up with travel sites to get our unique therapy sessions out to the world.

 

Revenue Model:

Our business model? It's rock solid. We run soap therapy sessions, team-building corporate events, and are rolling out our At-Home Soap Therapy Kits. And guess what? We're seeing a phenomenal 13% growth month-over-month. We're not just keeping the lights on; we're expanding, and fast!

 

Financials and ROI:

Now, let's talk money. Last year, we made a whopping $85,310 our first year, with a marketing budget of 1,500, and nearly half of that was pure profit. Our secret? Keeping production costs low and profits high. This means with every session we host; we're making a significant impact – financially and socially.

 

Competitive Edge:

We're not just another workshop or a soap company. We're a revolution in mental health care. We break down barriers that traditional therapy can't, and we bring something truly special to the table – an affordable, therapeutic, and inclusive experience that's second to none.

 

Why Invest:

Investing in us? It's a no-brainer. We're blending financial smarts with life-changing experiences. Every dollar invested in Ready to Live Soaps goes towards making a real difference – in our balance sheets and in the lives of those we touch. . For example, our annual spend on soap base and essential oils totals just around $1,320, covering 450 guests. This efficiency brings the cost per customer to a mere $16.00, while we offer our Soap Therapy Experience at $65.00 per guest, yielding a significant profit of $49.00 per person. Again, I ask, why invest in us? Because we've crafted a business model where fiscal prudence goes hand in hand with transformative wellness experiences

 

Our Team:

Behind this vision is an incredible team. Jason, our Operations Manager, brings military-grade precision. Mawakana, our Sales Manager, adds deep compassion from her counseling background. And me? I'm bringing 17 years of talent expertise and a whole lot of heart to the table.

 

Community Impact:

Community is everything to us. We host free workshops for teens, donate to those in need, and run the Stronger Together Initiative, empowering hundreds of women to find healing and success through creativity.

Closing:

So, what do you say? Join us on this incredible journey. With Ready to Live Soaps, we're not just making soap – we're crafting a brighter, more inclusive future, one bar at a time. Thank you!
