Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in skincare but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Yola Kryska, Founder of Splash Soap Company, located in Land O' Lakes, WI, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Splash Soap Company is an all-natural, ethical and authentic skincare brand that’s great for both our skin and our planet. We want people to feel comfortable and beautiful in their skin—naturally, conscientiously, and mindfully. Our customers range from teenagers to adults, both women, and men.
Tell us about yourself
We desired to reinvent the old-fashioned soap bar by improving its formula by using skin-loving ingredients with no harsh chemicals that are safe for our skin and our environment. We devoted two years to perfecting the “most perfect” bar of soap we could. This is how Splash Soap got started. Our main motivation is our customers and the smile that we are able to put on people's faces. The everlasting relationships that we have with our customers are what Splash Soap is about.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
To be able to make a difference in someone's life. We love hearing stories of how our products have helped people with different skin conditions. Hearing some of the pain and suffering and being able to provide a product that makes a difference is our biggest accomplishment. At Splash Soap, we work extremely hard for what we stand for, and for me personally, as a woman and a mom is my biggest accomplishment. Make a difference.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Making decisions and not knowing if they are right or wrong. Each day in our business, we are forced to make decisions on market conditions, prices, costs, and accepting or declining business deals. That is one of the hardest parts of being a business owner.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Be passionate and knowledgeable about what you are selling.
- Be creative. Devote and focus 100% on your business and building your brand. Be yourself, be unique, and thrive to stand out and be different.
- Stay focused and provide great service. Strive to build everlasting friendships with your customers. Your customers deserve nothing less.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Running a business is very hard. It takes a lot of patience and dedication; however, it is also very rewarding at the same time. Our goal at Splash Soap Company is to provide our customers with the best quality, natural products that they’re proud to use, share, and recommend to others. We will continue to pursue this mission and goal without cutting corners.
