Hmm, I don't know

Pink Pepperberry - The tantalizing aroma of freshly-ground pink peppercorn accented by winter berries, orange clove and bayberry leaf. This is from the BW site.

Nobody likes this scent, it's just sitting here. So I thought about mixing it with something. You name it I probably have it.

TIA

Test it in another warmer, only half of my scents work in Scentsy warmers.

I wish I dared to mix my own scents! I am too afraid that I will make something horrendous and end up wasting precious FO.

Oh you have to try it, it's fun. I've made some great ones and I've made some disgusting ones, lol.. I use the Qtip method so I'm not wasting FO.

(stick a Qtip of each scent into a bag for a day or two then sniff)

There are several threads in this section with FO's that others have mixed.

Think about it when your walking into a store full of candles, sprays, etc... Of course it's going to be overwhelming. Not just one candle is making the store that fragrant.

I would do all the suggestions above, still if your not satisfied I would move on. But be ready to have rough ugly tops before and after they burn. Cause that's what you'll get with 415 and 135.

Shrink wrap them

I have to agree, give them a discount and that's it. They will get used to getting the stuff at price and will be your biggest customers because of it and you wont be making any money.

It's exciting isn't it? I remember when my family was excited for me now they tell me I don't need anymore candles, lol..

There is alot that goes into a price,

1) I'm sure that since Peaks is in Colorado they don't have the same supplier as an Ohio Company.

2) The quantity, say one company might buy the least amount and the other might buy the highest amount. Big Price difference there.

Not saying that's what's going on but the amount of Fo they buy does have to be put into concideration.

3) Different suppliers use different ingredients to make the product.

4) Each suppliers products are priced differently than others.

5) Shipping plays a big part in it too.

6) Profit, You have to include the bottle that they put the Fo's in, labeling, their time, etc...

I bet if you bought samples from each company, of the scents you put on here most will not smell the same. What one person thinks Bayberry smells like is different from another.

You shouldn't have to pay that 8.1% tax since schools are tax exempt. I didn't know they did fundraisers too.

I figure we can't be hating people that sell scentsy, they are trying to make a living like us. With the economy like it is, I'm seeing more people want to have parties instead of buying so they can get free stuff. If anything we should look at it like an advertisement for our candles, scentsy is making candles more popular which in turn is helping us out.

I say Troll

Thanks for thoroughly answering my question...

On a down note...one of my kids accidentally knocked several of my candles off the countertop! I guess those are definitely NOT sellable...lmbo! It is so disappointing to see all that hard work shatter into pieces...oh well, accidents happen!

Gotta go pour!

Have you been paying attention at all?? What hard work are you talking about, lol??

It's good, not a good seller for me but I liked the FO. I use soy wax

Those are really nice..

I wasn't sure about the buying/customer application, what's that all about?? I understand they want true customers out there but still. You just can't go to one of these you have to register.

I looked up some of the companies most were chandlers, people that make crafts, most country primitive stuff, I really didn't find anything that was specifc for anything I wanted other than to see the products in person from a few of the companies I have ordered from in the past.

Wow. Snippy. That is why I was asking. I thought that it may be a bit too much. I am still testing. But thanks for the input. Most of my candles so far DON'T have any hangup. Only these. Oye.

If you thought that was snippy, then thank goodness I didn't post what I orginally was going to, lol..

You asked what others prefer and I prefer not to have half of my candle wax on the sides of the Jar, it's not pretty, and it screams unprofessional.

I was hoping that you said you were still testing, that's great.

So wick up or double wick because many of had trouble wicking that style jar.

Good Luck and Test, Test, Test

I would be really ticked off If I bought a candle and it had that much hang up..

Just because you like it doesn't mean your customers would, I Guarantee that you wouldn't have repeat business.

That is called tunneling, you need to wick up or doub wick it. Keep testing please

I voted for Wintery Woods, I've been on a pine kick lately and the description sounded nice.

Instead of offering a point system which can be confusing and time consuming why don't you offer specials for customers that order so many times in a month or for so much money spent they get whatever.

Yep and they aren't good at all at least the ones at my walmart.. What I don't understand is why everyone thinks that Scentsy came up with BAM. I've been using them for years before Scentsy came out.

I agree NG's is the best

Hmmm, lets see try a different wick and do a search of what your looking for.

I'm thinking you are making a statement instead of asking a question which has some confused on what your are wanting out of this post.

Right now, Inventory. Next month making products to supply my inventory. This Fall/Winter sales have blown away past years sales by far.

It might and it might not. Check to see how much FO your wax will hold first before making the leap.

For example if the FO is weak when u use 1oz, I doubt it would make it any stronger at 1.5 oz.. Now if it throws great at 1 oz but you want it stronger then I would up it to 1.5 oz.

For some odd reason my soaps never look right. My thin layers are always thick, and hard to roll. Maybe I'll try some later.

Now all of you are scaring me, but then again I don't have a wickless line yet so that's something to think about...
