  1. For wholesale (selling your products to store owners)....do stores prefer you to have a barcodes like smaller stores, not Target, Walmart. Also are the barcodes you can get from second hand places lie barcodesmania.com good enough or is only GS1 acceptable? Anyone here use barcodes, where do you get yours? TIA!
  2. Something that isn't The Flaming Candle's Lavender...better than that please.
  3. Ditto. And I love how they package things. Never any spills with them
  4. Please don't forget you need money for marketing Don't pour your whole budget into different size jars and wicks and this and that. Start as small as you can inventory wise and invest in marketing.
  5. Pour without wicks then use stick to poke hole through candle, place in correct wick and use heat gun or embossing gun to close hole.
  6. Due to the pandemic the cost of everything is going up...at this point your customers won't be surprised if you increase your prices. Cost of my jars have increased too, not just the wax...so there's no way I can eat the cost...I increased my prices by 2- 3 bucks.
  7. WSP was slow as snail before COVID ever existed. The way they run their business doesn't align with how I run mine.
  8. I've noticed an increase in celebrities and social media influencers releasing candles and candle lines.
  9. Need subscription to read full article but here's a snippet below: Yankee Candle executives’ new side gigs include tasks such as packing the company’s products into gift baskets. Wendy Marcus was midway through a recent meeting with senior leaders at Newell Brands Inc. when word came that she needed to leave immediately. The Newell-owned factory that makes Yankee Candles was once again short on workers, and the plant needed Ms. Marcus, an R&D manager, on the assembly line to help pack the famously scented knickknacks into gift baskets. “I told them, ‘I have to work the overtime shift,’ and they just said, ‘OK, thank you and go ahead,’” recalled Ms. Marcus. American manufacturers have gotten better at safeguarding their factory floors and containing infections of Covid-19 in their workforces. Despite the progress, they are still struggling to find enough people to staff their plants. The worker shortages are choking supply chains and delaying delivery of everything from car parts to candles just as demand is picking up. Among Covid-19’s weird effects: Despite high unemployment levels, many employers are having trouble hiring enough workers. The unemployment rate held steady in December at 6.7%. Weekly initial claims for jobless benefits from state programs, a marker of layoffs, have also been steady at around 790,000. That’s down sharply from a peak of nearly 7 million in March, but still around four times the pre-pandemic average. https://www.wsj.com/articles/low-on-workers-manufacturers-recruit-their-executives-for-the-factory-floor-11610168401
