WHAT MAKES BATH THYME PRODUCTS SPECIAL

With the introduction of bath thyme personal care products we have targeted the higher end of the middle market. We have created a high end quality product aimed primarily at the home spa, self treatment concept for those who enjoy the luxuries of a professional spa and wish to continue their weekly sessions throughout the week at home, and perhaps indulge with some daily luxuries using our personal care products. We are looking to place our products in quality recommended Spas and hotels, also we wish to get into the retail sector to make them as accessible to the consumer as possible. The products are perhaps most suited for the 30-45 year old female demographic, due to the price bracket and the uniqueness of the floral scents they may not be quite so appealing to younger teenagers, however they have been extremely well received by all who have sampled them and no amount of statistics can compensate for personal taste.

MOTIVATION & TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC

We have created a high end quality product aimed primarily at the home spa, Targeted the higher end of the middle market.

Individuals interested in self treatment concept for those who enjoy the luxuries of a professional spa and wish to continue their weekly sessions throughout the week at home,

Individuals interested in daily luxuries using our personal care products.

We are looking to place our products in quality recommended Spas and hotels, also we wish to get into the retail sector to make them as accessible to the consumer as possible.

We expect 60%-70% of our primary consumers to be most suited for the 30-45 year old female demographic.

And a further 15%-20% to be within the 45 and over female demographic.

And the remaining 15%-20% to be within the 18-30 year old female demographic.

TARGET DEMOGRAPHICHaving personally lived in the UK now for the past 20 years, there are many aspects of my Thai heritage that I miss and am very proud of that i would love to share with others. Thailand has a wealth of beauty to contribute. There are many things that we specialise in and that we have that are unique to Thailand. Some examples would be Thai massage and Thai Spas, famous for their efficacy and for the hospitality of the Thai people, other things would be some of the exotic plants that are indigenous to the east such as the lotus flower or the jasmine flower that feature so prominently in Thai history. None of the jasmine scented products I have tried during my time in the Uk have managed to do this beautiful flower justice. My products are based around the exotic scents of thai flowers such as jasmine and lotus but also other beautiful but less known scents such as Moke, and Kasalong. I was initially motivated to create something specialised for myself because I suffered from an under active thyroid gland which affects my body’s balance in many ways, but I have very sensitive skin which is very easily upset by many of the personal care products currently available on the market. I took my initial concept and expanded on

it to create a complete range of products including scrubs and masques. The products are intended to be mild and gentle for sensitive skin, we use natural ingredients and avoid any harmful chemicals. The scents are from high grade essential oils that give them an effective lingering duration. I want people to be able to use my products and to notice the difference after a single use,your skin should feel smooth and delicate afterwards. So far I have had people review my products and have told me that after a weeks use the spots on their back have cleared up, others have told me how wonderful their skin feels and how beautiful the scent is. These positive reviews and success stories are the things and keep me motivated and encourage me to continue. I hope that the more people that try them and appreciate them will promote them through recommendations and word of mouth as in my experience this is always the best recommendation, but I still need the opportunity to reach these people and that’s where I hope that you can help.

Once we establish a connection in the interested country and confirm trade relations then we can register Bath Thyme as a trade mark in that country
