Also

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.

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)

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.

Thats a good price if it works

But not sure what I am looking for. I did a search on the old site and got website software. That is not what I need. I am looking for something that I can use at shows I guess like a point of sale thing, where I can use bar codes, but I also want it to track down an inventory, and do all that good stuff. Basically anything that will make my job easier. I would also need to link my merchant account to it if possible. Does anyone know if something like this exists? Thanks all!!

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

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

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

thanks again. that is why I loved it so much because I don't just do candles. I do other crafts to and this pretty much covers it all.

thanks for the encourment Scented. WE will see. LOL

I think I can, I think I can. LOL

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

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.

EMail me at linanae@gmail.com and we can talk about exactly what you want it to do.

I love it. I saw this as one of the free websets. I asked permission to use it and she has been so helpful. She changed the Welcome to my name.

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

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.

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.

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

i use a droper bottle bottle from scents and such.

What are PMA and OPM? Since I'm in sales, I need to know!!

This is fre this one time it is a secret

Positive Mental Attitude= Other People's Money

Speeder pm me I am very interested see your stuff to talk

I mean I see the convioe (sp) belt at the ups store and I cringe. Post office is more carefull no a days

I'm looking for something I can bottle up. Are those EO?

I mean from the way it looks if it is jus EO's you can pre mix into a bottle but with out a preservative it would fade in 6 months

LMAO That's the way I like 'em: speechless and wide eyed. Shows youre doing something right! Always leave 'em wantin' more!

your bad so what persvative would you use to prevent the scent from leaving and the warming to be oo ahh

In the classified section that new company has a double and triple

the one from last month

Dont use labor ready

if your big kurt is a good place and have clean room

This is me right now

I am amzaed and scared

Wow
