I wrote a big reply but it got eaten...
Basically I was going to say facebook has a very easy business page format and I got a lot more traffic that way even though my phone number was on every bottle I sold.
I made deals with people for saving me milk jugs.
Did private parties like Avon, scentsy and Mary Kay, slumber parties,
Garage sales and did the flea markets that are open here and rent out space for $15.00 a table
I always wanted to make the dry kind and this kind it's called "whipped detergent" it might make for easier transportation

And when I started making the other kind I bought my stuff from here
http://www.naturesgardencandles.com
I bought my natural
Lotion base from there and citric acid for bath bombs and dish detergent packs.
Dollar tree has lots of bottles that if you buy by the case from their website they end up being cheaper than 1 dollar.
My recommendations are to buy a good printer and do it yourself for labels they get pricy if you get kinkos to do it but they are somewhat more "hassle free"
Good luck
