I know Lifeproof Cases come with this adapter thing and it works for my Iphone and Square, I'm assuming that it would also work for Otterboxes as all it does it make it so the plug will actually reach in there. It looks like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/131121383870?lpid=82 They should all be universal because it goes in the Headphone jack and those all have the same plugs. HTH

I am on the hunt for a Non-Spicy Pumpkin oil. Anyone have a favorite? TIA

Great tips!! I have considered having a custom pocketed Apron made with my business name/logo. I will for sure wear something nice though The camera, I would never have thought of that! Question: What do you all use for bags that you give the customer their purchase in? I am checking into Kraft Type bags and also Plastic Bags. Wondering if customers/you seem to prefer one or the other. I wanted to make sure to have something with a handle so they can carry it easy. All the little details lol

Great idea! I also live in the South but a more Urban area. I have been to most of the shows I hope to set up at multiple times and it's a pretty good mixture of mostly women, I want to say late 20's-40's and younger men (20's-30's). Very eclectic folks as well (at least at a few of the shows). I know I'm going to want to do a few of the "Hippie Scents" as I've noticed a lot of those at the various booths I've frequented. I like blending my own scents so I will try to offer at least a few custom blends of earthy scents. How does Lavender sell? I would think very well but I don't often hear people talking about it.

Thanks so much for the feedback The majority of my sales will for sure be online but I am very much looking forward to at least doing a few craft shows a month. Do you find there are certain scents your customers ask for the most at Craft Fairs? I've noticed that online (through the communities on FB) certain scents seem to be very popular that I'm not sure would sell as well at Craft Shows..I am thinking craft shows would need to be more basic scents to appeal, do you feel that's a fair assumption?

Yes Bags!!! I am so glad I asked this question. Going to look into that stamp too, what a great idea I have signs made just need to get them laminated. My next question being: How many different scents do you find is a good base line for your shows? I don't want to not have "enough" to appeal to everyone. Right now I have a sort of "candy buffet" type thing but with smaller tarts and bakery bags, 12 different scents for that. And then clamshells, 10 different scent blends for those. Also doing premade up bakery bags with blends (these are just leftovers to fill up the table). Will most likely have about 20-30 of those pre-made bags. Do you think between 20-25 different scent/blend choices is good or should I add more? You all are amazing! Some of these things I would have never even thought of.

Thank you all so much for your answers. I have signed up for Square and should be getting my swiper thingy in the mail any day. I am going to buy another one to have as a backup too (just in case). Do any of you have a place online that you to use to order your Table Clothes for the displays? Is Vista Prints good for Business Cards or somewhere else you would recommend?

Hello everyone! After months and months of testing I am set to open up shop in September and got wrangled into doing a craft show at a friends church. I already have 2 6 Foot Tables 1 4 Foot Table and a list of what else I need for my display (Tent, glass jars, scoops, etc.) Can you think of anything else that you find crucial to your craft show display for functionality? Also, a question about accepting Credit Cards. What medium do you use? Square? Something else? And...How much cash for change to you find is crucial to have on hand? I don't want to run out and not be prepared. Thank you in advance! I am so nervous and I'm a total "planner" so I need to be as prepared as I can be.

Thanks everyone for the input! They smell amazing so I will probably just send them to my testers like this and tell them to overlook that. I'm wondering, would a bit of Vybar or UA help with this?

I have been testing different blends for several months now. Last night I tried out a 75% 6006 and a 25% 4625 blend. FO and Color was added at 180 and poured at 170. In my testing I've never had this happen, can anyone give me any advice on what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks in advance

I have been reading this forum for awhile now and currently in the process of starting my own wax tart business. I have been an avid lover of wax for years now and very involved with the Facebook groups. Excited to get to know everyone and get feedback on my company and products. Thank you for having such an amazing forum.
