Allison Chisholm
BP BATH + SPA
NORTHERN BRUCE PENINSULA, ONTARIO
Allison is the owner of BP Bath + Spa. Allison created BP Bath + Spa in November of 2020 as a platform for affordable self-care products. Living on the Northern Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, made it difficult to find affordable products that didn’t have to be mailed in.
Allison also focuses on bringing awareness to Postpartum Depression and Postpartum Anxiety through her business platform. As a mom of one, she has dedicated herself to bringing awareness on these quietly spoken topics.
Outside of her business, Allison is studying Hotel and Resort Operations Management at Georgian College. Hoping to one day, create the opportunity for more winter tourism in her area.
Allison continues to use her voice to bring awareness to other topics such as the Every Child Matters movement, and the ongoing climate crisis in Canada.
PHOTOGENIC COMPETITION
OPTIONAL COMPETITIONS
“As a small business owner, it’s been almost impossible to decide on one specific product to designate as my ‘Promising Product’. But all in all, I had to decide. So drum roll please!
The Promising Product carried at BP Bath + Spa is the Falling In Love Bath Bomb.
I chose this specific bath bomb because it represents what we do here at BP Bath + Spa. As well as the fact that it represents our core values. The Falling In Love bath bomb was created with the idea of representing self-care. Including an ethically retrieved crystal supplied by another amazing Ontario business enhances the self-care effect. Inside each bath bomb is a tumbled Rose Quartz crystal. For those who do not know much about crystals, the Rose Quartz is tied to gentleness, and love. Our mission is to create awareness for self-care and by providing the opportunity for our customers to learn more about the potential of spiritual and crystal healing is something we take a lot of pride in.”

Why is social media marketing so valuable for a business and what do you do to ensure your personal growth & success online?
“Social Media marketing has taken the opportunities for small businesses to the next level. With all sorts of platforms like Instagram, Tik Tok it has made it easier to reach potential customers. Hashtags have made it extremely easy for someone to find exactly what they're looking for.
I have social media to thank for the rapid growth of my business in early 2021. I always aim to post daily videos on Tik Tok at peak times. One day doing so, I had a lovely customer by the name of Lisa Baker who had purchased from me. She had then used the ‘duet’ filter on the app and reposted a video of me packaging her order! This shows her one hundred thousand plus followers at the time what I have to offer. Within 12 hours of her repost I was completely sold out of all my products I had in the shop. Her following has doubled and she still encourages me, and purchases from me on a regular basis.
Without social media, I would not have made this connection. Without my regular posting, I wouldn’t have the opportunity to create amazing products for amazing people such as Lisa!”
