Spring brings with it new growth and energy. Alabu is experiencing new growth and added energy this spring as well. There is a lot going on at Alabu that we will be covering over the next few newsletters. One thing you will notice is the change in our newsletter format. We hope you find this new format easier to read and access the information that interests you.

Making Soap
We are frequently asked about our soap process and how we make our soap. Here are a few photos of the process.

May Coupon
Between now and April 15, the email confirmation notice (the email you get from us when we ship your order) will include a 10% coupon valid between May 1 and May 10. You will earn shopping points from your order you place now which you can use with your 10% May1 to May 10 coupon.

Label changes
Over the next several months you will notice a change in our labels for many of our most popular products. Our Lotion Sticks (which have become extremely popular), Baby Face Oil, Bath Blast and our top soap sellers will begin to get new labels first. We are experiencing increased interest from wholesale buyers such that we need to place a UPC code on the label so that they can be scanned at checkout registers.

We have mixed emotions about this. But, we are excited about the growth and success of Alabu products.

Discontinued Sale Items

--------------------------------------------

A reminder, we do offer volume discounts.

The volume discount is applied after the coupon is applied. For example, if you place an order for $115.00 you would receive 10% off of the $115 ($11.50) and the volume discount range is applied to the remaining amount. In this case, 10% of of the remaining $103.50 ($10.35).

The following volume discounts are in place:

Thank you for you continued business. We truly enjoy the notes and visits from you all, and yes if your ever in the neighborhood stop in and say hello.

Sincerely,

Maryclaire & Dean Mayes
