I have been using Presto Pots and have just purchased my first wax melter to help with my larger orders. How are you mixing the FO's and Dye's? I'd rather not mix it in the pot so that I don't have to clean it every time I make a different scent or wax mixture. Can anyone who uses a large wax melter please help??? Do you mix in pour pots instead?

Sounds very good! Guess these kinds of things happen to the best of us! LOL

This is only my 2nd complaint and both were over tart burners (Lavine) I no longer order from them:sad2: I am currently working on a policy for my site. Not sure how to word it since I am asking for the complaint to be made within 3 days and for them to return the item and show of receipt. Since it would be a gift they wouldnt have the receipt...hmmmm? Mabye asking for the receipt would be a litte silly huh!

I just received an email from a lady from another state that got one of my tart burners for a christmas gift from a family member that buys from me locally. She said that her tart burner seems to have a short in it and is flickering and wants me to replace it. The lady that bought it from me to take to her in North Carolina was just telling me this morning that they had plugged in all the tart burners and were loving the tart smell and all that good stuff on christmas, and now shes emailing me weeks later saying that it doesnt work. What would you do? I have not made any kind of policy on my website, if I ever have a complaint I ask for the product back and I replace it. But the one other time that I had a complaint it was within 2 days. Should I replace the burner for her after this long? I no longer sell that burner so I would be at a loss replacing it with a more expensive one....Any advice? Also how should I word a policy for my customers without scaring them away?

Here is the main issue...I had to raise my prices a bit in order for the group to get either 40-50% on all the items. If I add my website or name then I may get new customers later from this because they will see after buying these items that they can get them cheaper from me. Should I do this and take on new customers or not let them know where the candles came from incase they want me to do another fundraiser later on down the line. I guess I hate the thought of selling something without getting credit for it, but since it is helping an organization....well Im just confused. I am presenting my candles and a lady from out of state is also. I know that last year she put a 4 H label on her products. The leaders tell me that her stuff was to high and they are more comfy with my prices. I just want to doa good job but still say it wsa made by ME! (Make sense) I have to have the final labels printed by tonight....Sorry to ramble!!!!

I did a site search first and couldnt find anything helpful. I am presenting my candles to a local 4-H group this week. I am stuck on what to put on the labels. I want to present a label with their logo on it and one of my custom made labels without their logo and let them choose. Im just not sure what I should put on the labels. Do I include my business name or website. Or do I just put the scent on it? Any tips would help me greatly! Ive already been given permisson to use their logo on my labels. Just undecided on how to design them.

Thank you sooooo much!!!

I went to order more air fresheners and the Bell & Company Traders site is gone. Anyone know if they are still in business? If they are gone, where else can I buy the air fresheners for about the same price and quality? I've never bought air freshener blanks from anyone else. Someone please tell me they are still in business.

Wow! Thanks so much!!!!!!

The only shopping cart I can add is for paypal. I am not on any search engines either. I have to pay almost 300 a yr for that. I just found that this site was easier for me to build with since I knew nothing about it. The site I use is Homestead. I guess I should have researched more. I havent picked up any new customers by having the site. Alot of people say they are looking for me in yahoo and google searches but Im of course not there...anytips for that? LOL

Thanks so much!

I currently started a web page that cost me $200 a year. I have the option to have a shopping cart and sell online but I choose not to right now. So I sorta use it to display to my current free shipping customers. I am wanting to get my name out ther more before I sell online. I am needing help with getting a banner but I have no idea how to start. Can someone help me with detailed directions on how to get this. The reason I need one is to place it on a free advertising craft site. TIA!!!!!!!

I am currently buying my spray base from bluegrass candle supply. But it seems like they are always out of stock. I have a fund raiser coming up and I need this stuff now. Does any one have another site that compares to bluegrass that I can buy my base from? THanks so much!

Thanks for the link:cheesy2:

I am using a site called homestead and it has a template builder so I will try it out. Wish me luck!!!

I am wanting to design the site with the primitve look. So i purchased a web graphics disc from clipart by lisa...and I want to maybe have some one do it for me. I thought when I bought into the bluehost site that I could build my site from there. Well I later found out that I have to find a web host...so now I am panicing! Im just afraid I will give up and cancel my fees with bluehost...I really want to try the website thing though!

I just purchased a domain name from bluehost...what is the next step to building my page? TIA Any Suggestions?

Ill take a look...thanks so much.

I make all my own labels for my candles and etc...I have decided to start selling lip balm. I have had my supplies for a week now and I cannot find anyone to make the labels for me. If there is anyone on this bored that makes there own and would like to be paid to make them for me please email me. I am easy to work with...I just need to come up with a design and a label before I go crazy! LOL:yay: TIA to some one that saves my sanity!!!!

I am thinking about buying some of the tin candle containers...does any one know how to age them...theres something about putting them inthe oven thats all I know...LOL Also is there a site that sells the old looking tin cans that food comes in? I have seen people make candles out of them. TIA
