  1. 1and1dotcom They offer a real nice shopping cart and has some of the best hosting prices in the industry. Also Top hosting solutions is another good one
  2. I do a lot of wholesale and retail options in my business I use the following; None Crafted items Wholesale 5-7% over cost (cost is storage,electricity,cost of product and a small admin charge) total comes out to be 5%-7% Retail Online 15% over cost plus shipping. No addition packing charges Retail Flea market and Trade shows 25% over costs plus taxes Crafted items No wholesale Online retail 20% plus shipping Retail Flea market and Trade shows 35% over cost plus tax Means math but works out great for small retail shops. I do more perfumes and oils then candles.
  3. Iron transfer paper Microcenter, Hobby lobby and my favorite COstco
  4. It depends on the inks Apollo hp nock off uses hp their standard ink is alcohol based. Bad real bad for labels. The best ink for labels is vegetable or bio dyes. They cost 25% more but worth every penny. Ink jets are more practical most newer ones do about 9800 by 9800 dpi (higher the dpi the better it is) with 20 to 30 ppm (pages per minute)
  5. I have not but, I use scents and such here in Colorado. Aqueen has been real good but I am looking for new suppliers all the time.
  6. Tess the merchant link I dont advise unless you own e commerce software. Inventory describe how you want to track inventory. Describe how you want your pos to look. Describe how you want your raw materials tracked
  7. There is several ways to do it. There is many different programs. Star Office Point of Sale is the cheapest waying in at 65. MS Office has POS software is about 200 and Quick books pro about 300 with addons I use a simple data base. As described in the accounting software one the key is to find out what you want and describe it. No one answered my questions in the accounting one so I will post it here. I need detailed information as to what you would like to see in a database. WHen done and done right it will be an all in one product. I setup networks and Point of Sale pc's across the nation remotely and in person (providing they pay). I currently maintan 34 laptops running this config. And they are all different all a great asset to the user
  8. Another thing is check with your airline also. Tins may present a problem and may not be permitted. SO I would definetly check. I always send the stuff fed-ex or USPS it is worth not having to deal with nut jobs at the airport
  9. Shoot for the sun hit the moon you still suceed. Aim for the moon and stay on earth you fail Dont allow others including your self to sabtauge a dream of a better life and a less stressful one. Believe in yourself and stay true to your heart there is nothing you cant do. Last cliche taken from Ice T (music,acting,educational and motivational speaker) Its all mind over matter, a deep mind can cut a check for any amount it wants
  10. Tess I use Star Office POS. MS has an office suite program that can do it as does Quick book bro. It went in order of exspense. Sean EMail me at linanae@gmail.com and we can talk about exactly what you want it to do.
  11. That is a very cool logo It is simple yet direct. Eye catching and does not limit you to just candles. It is small enough to put on any interauction site. It is also small enough to put on custom made business cards or mini cdr's (business card style). The wording all though it blends in with the back ground is still liegible and eye catching as well. Overall a good choice regardless of whether you do candles or specialize in other items
  12. My bath balls used to stick I used pam in my releaser or if it was for a gift a little of the same FO/EO I used in creation. I have also froze my ballers and that seems to work also. But I live in Denver so humidity or the lack there of maybe why what I have tried works.
  13. I loved my business classes I took recently the teacher was the best hands down. He asked the class what their goals were. It was amazing how he taught without ever opening the book but if you looked at it everything he said and then some was in there. His name is Jerry Thomas he teaches at ACC but also teaches online. He has 5 business 124,125,128 226,227,228 if you take all 6 5 week classes you get a cert and if you take 100's you get cert as well. You will learn everything from examing yourself to how-to-develop interand intra personal skills. But I degrese good luck and great learning. Sean
  14. I didn't see any games on either of those websites, but I do theme parties. My friend Rochelle sells all sorts of candles and depending on the size of the house we have fun and excitement. Twister ->great game for all ages funnier when adults play it Cassino night --> Here in CO to rent a roulet wheel and Craps table cost us about 80 for 2 days. We also had Plenko which made us the most loot. We used Monopolly money for casino night. That was then traded in for discounts on the merch. Win Lose or draw ---> great party game and people loved it kids and adults alike Standard door prize thing ---> kind of boring but with twists can be fun Wickless candle particapation making ---> May get some that will make their own full time but then again it is fun
