How do I market my line of skin care products?



I started a line of Dead Sea skin care products 3 years ago. Despite all my efforts our sales are still low. I have a informative web site, I’ve posted every where on the net, I have a brochure I’ve mailed and emailed everywhere, I lost tons of money sending samples out. I’ve tried to recruit direct sales people as well as commission only business to business reps and I got no where. Is this just a failure business or what? I am working on a very small budget at this point and can’t afford a national ad campaign should I just quit or what?

I’m just starting a website and Im building it around affiliated marketing and targeted ads (banners, email campaigns, etc…). Since I’ve never set up an online advertising campaign I don’t know how to set up a pricing structure. Can someone lend me some advice?
