As it’s Scrubba’s 6th birthday this month, I wanted to do a little history on the biz. Scrubba Body was started back in July 2016 by partners Josh and Jase. They wanted to create a body scrub that wouldn’t irritate their skin. They had tried a few on the market that had caused Josh’s psoriasis to act up. So they were looking for a scrub that had all natural ingredients, and none of those words you see on the back of cosmetic products that you can’t pronounce. The boys got to work, researching and mixing and testing until the Original Coffee Scrub was created.
It’s coming up to our 6thBirthday! SIX years in business!! And we are getting a bit nostalgic and reflecting on how we started out… At the markets!!
Starting a market stand is a fantastic method to launch your business. In fact, this is how a number of now-famous brands and businesses got their start in the world.
Would-be business owners may be discouraged from setting up gazebos or market stalls for a variety of reasons, but all of these problems, difficulties, and worries may be overcome. Here are our top ten tips that we have learnt over the years so that you can have a successful market day!
We’ve been busy today at the Sydney Vegan Markets and as this is a monthly market (3rdSunday of every month), I wanted to share some info about this amazing initiative.
Over 100 stalls brought to you by Sydney’s best of the best in food, produce, beverage, homewares, fashion, art, cosmetics, skincare, activism, and education. All plant based, cruelty-free and vegan!
The Makers & Shakers is Australia's premier mid-sized makers market, held in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Canberra. The event features a curated line up of both established and emerging creatives, and offers shoppers the very best in handmade: from beautiful homewares, stunning lifestyle products to delicious food. The Makers & Shakers Market is a fun day out for people who appreciate where things come from, how things are made and who made them.
Next Saturday, 30th April, Scrubba Body is heading down to Canberra for the Handmade Markets! It's been a long time since we've been able to make it down to be there in person (they also have online markets), and we are SOOOOO EXCITED! SO what are the Handmade Markets? Julie Nichols organised the first Handmade Market in 2008, which feels like a lifetime ago today. There were some fantastic marketplaces in Canberra, but none that specifically catered to handmade designers. Julie organised the inaugural market with an emphasis on local designers and only 35 stalls, despite having very little money but a strong business plan and vision. Thousands of people attended, making the Handmade Market a huge success.
