On the digital units can you get the temp to set at a temp between 175-200? I really want 185-190 but I sure can't figure out how to get it to set at that temp! Does this make sense? I jumps from 175 to 200 when setting the temp. 175 is too cool and 200 is too high. I'm using 4627 wax.

My rustic layered pillar that I made yesterday separated at the layers. I have made quite a few and this is the first time this has ever happened! What did I do wrong? Actually, I tried to repair it by putting it back in the mold and poured a fresh hot layer to join it back together........I just took it out again and it came apart in 2 places! I'm re-melting it now and starting over with it.

My first glass order was from them and I've never ordered since. The shipping was just as much as the order so it wasn't cost effective for me. I like their selection though.

Whether you buy his story or not, you have done everything you could to rectify the problem. One candle is not worth losing a potentially satisfied customer over. But, I think you did the exact right thing!

We used to have minimums but found that we lost alot of the smaller wholesale accounts because they just couldn't do it. But we also do fundraisers and retail so, we keep a large inventory anyway on all of our scents. We do have wholesalers who just buy 1,2 or 3 of one scent. Others, buy more. We service very large and very small accounts. Money is money so why limit your options. Every customer is different! We do have price breaks for over 10 cs, 50 cs, 100 cs though. But, they don't have to be a certain amount of a particular fragrance.

Ok, I read the whole thing! You have to upgrade to premier account, which is free.......they just comfirm your bank account. That's what I have and have used for ebay for a while otherwise I couldn't get cc payments. So, you need to do this upgrade to get your fees back down! It's so easy to do and well worth it!

Made a mess of that copy/paste! Anyway I didn't see any changes to the fee structure. So, I wonder what happened?

I just checked my paypay account and the fees listed are: Monthly IncomePer TransactionTransaction Price Example$0.00 USD - $3,000.00 USD2.9% + $0.30 USDYou’ll pay $3.20 USD on a $100.00 USD transaction.$3,000.01 USD - $10,000.00 USD2.5% + $0.30 USD Merchant Rate qualification requiredYou’ll pay $2.80 USD on a $100.00 USD transaction.$10,000.01 USD - $100,000.00 USD2.2% + $0.30 USD Merchant Rate qualification requiredYou’ll pay $2.50 USD on a $100.00 USD transaction.> $100,000.00 USD1.9% + $0.30 USD Merchant Rate qualification requiredYou’ll pay $2.20 USD on a $100.00 USD transaction.

I'd love to go but the cost to attend is just too high. And.........the schedule of events doesn't show me anything other than the speakers list. So, nothings catching my eye to fork out that kind of dough!

They turned out WAY better than my attempt!!!! Beautiful!

Love it! Love it! Another great personal best for PA! I'm so excited to get mine all done! Good luck and happy selling!

Jen! It looks fabulous! PA is helping me with mine right now and I just love her!!!! I can't wait to get mine going but so far PA is doing outstanding work! She took a really confused person (me) and made a beautiful webset! Good luck and many sales!

So help me understand.........Yankee has a trademark for the name Christmas Eve but only as it applies to candles & tarts......excuse me melts? So really you would have to check out every name you use to make sure it is not trademarked for your type of product. So, if you made a soap or lotion and called it Christmas Eve you don't have to put type after it?

Well..........they look very pretty! I have found that pillars are ALWAYS a suprise. But, no matter how they turn out I love em anyway!

Ok! That's good to know and the minimum is less! I think that will be better even at .15 ea. I just need to get the box weight for shipping costs! I just don't want to run out of my stock!!!! Thanks for the info!:highfive:

I emailed the company for further info to see if it's feasible to order these. PM me if interested!

I love the look...........but, the pics are hard to see, as stated, they are a bit too dark.

This was my first one from a month ago! I sold for $16! It was french vanilla coffee and I didn't want to sell it!!!! I love the maple pecan though....it is truely yummy! Must buy some more molds cause it take forever to make just one! I do think I will make another this weekend though so if someone does buy it I wont feel so bad!

I made these last night. The rust/brown is yummy maple pecan and the tilted layer one is eucalyptus & spearment it's kind of a gray/green color. That was the first time I had done a tilted one kind of a pain but pretty just the same. I love rustics much better than the smooth pillars. Next will be marbled pillars this weekend!

I mix my own........1 part peppermint to 7 parts eucalyptus...more or less! It smells wonderful.

It shouldn't hurt it at all.........but for making them I use gladware or whatever plastic tupperware type stuff that is cheap. Mason jars are good also. I've got them setting up all over the place right now!

LOL!!!!! Great minds think alike!!!!!!:highfive:

I just got this in an email from Debbie May at WSP: What is a Business Plan? A business plan is a formal statement of a set of business goals. The plan may contain background information about the company. Think of your business plan as a decision making tool. It will help you concentrate on multiple areas of the business while staying focused on its main goal. A business plan often includes how will you pay your bills, handle employees, order products, fill orders, market your products and protect your designs. When is a Business Plan used? All businesses should have a business plan. Good and bad opportunities come up everyday. A business plan will help you stay focused and make good decisions about these opportunities. A business plan is always necessary when going to the bank for a loan or when seeking investors. A bank will want to be convinced you can repay a loan. An investor will be interested in what will be done with the initial investment, upcoming growth opportunities and exit plan. Keys to a Good Business Plan. A business plan should be simple, specific, realistic and complete. It will have a plan, actions, responsibilities, deadlines, measured results and follow up. Most of all, a business plan should be practical. Questions to Answer Before Writing a Plan. Describe your business, in 25 words or less. What is your reason in starting this business? What trend is your company going use? Why will you be successful? Describe your company mission, in 10 words or less. How do you know you will be meeting what your customers needs? Where will your first 10 customers come from and how much will they be willing to pay? Why should a customer seek your company instead of another? How much will it take to fund your company for the first year? What will tell you that your business is serious trouble? What is the biggest drawback/limitation/flaw to your business idea? How are you going to handle the money and accounting? What is your gross profit margin? (selling product price vs. cost of product materials) What is your net profit margin? (gross profit margin minus business expenses such as payroll, rent, utilities, etc.) How will you handle growth and overwhelming success?Resources in Helping you Write a Business Plan.
