  1. Very Nice -- I've been looking for crates like these anyone know where I can find these or simular ones that will fit 8 oz mason Jars -- there used to be a company called Sugar Creek Crates... but last time I tried to order from them they never replied back ?
  2. I like the scramble card idea ...
  3. Hello Candybee - we have done the 4 for 3 - thats a pretty good sale -- really trying to find something a little different... We are playing a game we made up with 4 other local busineses so alredy have a gift basket with the other businesses. Gold Coins --- hummmm are those the candy coins -- can you find those at christmas? maybe we could do something with those....
  4. Hey Candlers - I've run out of ideas for Christmas in the shop Anyone have new ideas for Sales for Christmas. For example - last year we did "we have a sweet deal for you" and when cust made a purchase we used hersheys kisses in the holiday colors -Green 5%off - Red 10% off and Silver 15% off..... They drew them out of a christmas stocking how about a brainstorming session...... for new ideas
  5. Thank You Oakbrook -- I appreciate the link hook up
  6. I have bought from Bittercreek but all of their lb prices are the same with this other supplier we were getting very discounted prices for example honey brown for 19.13 for 8 oz or 26.34 a pound compared to bittercreek 64.XX per pound -- huge difference. The autumn red is the problem for example on their web site ... they have single price point of 2 oz pkg for 8.10 - or 2 oz if you buy 4 or more for 6.89 per 2 oz -- so 8 oz would be 27.56.. they are also saying their 8 oz package is out of stock... so they on my order sheet they gave me the single price 8.10 for each 2 oz pkg even though we wanted a pound so you see a pound cost 55.12... What bothers me most is the deceitful practice of them saying the 8 oz pkg is out of stock... when they clearly weigh and package them themselves, not to mention them not honoring their 4 or more package reduction price...... But in looking around the WWW today I think I found their & BitterCreek supplier... I have contacted them... and hope we can do business... If so I will probably be calling my present supplier and asking them about their deceitful practices... Right now I feel stuck.. with whatever they want to charge me because they can always refuse to sell to me. We have been pouring candles since 97.... and I certainly understand hard times... what I cannot condone is swindlers !!! For Heavensake if they wanted to charge me 55.12 per pound for autumn red --- just put it on their website --- and I wouldnt get my panties in a wad !!
  7. LOVE the dye flakes -- but the supplier I have used in the past is offering them on their website as pound prices -- but always out of stock, not sure how they can be out of stock when they pack them into a BAGGIE themselves... So when calling them - they say they dont sell them in the lb sizes anymore----- OHHHHH would love to buy elsewhere -- anyone know where I can fine pound sizes of the dye flakes at decent prices ..... thanks in advance for your response..... Terry
  8. Spiced Orange - BitterCreek South their original scents -- is THE BEST !!!
  9. Thanks for the replys -- we also have been doing tarts -- we haven't done many votives -- might have to think about that one. We also have picked up donations...
  10. OUCH - how do you all contend with this... seems like we work and work and we cant win for loosing... I've been at this for 9 years. I know the economy is really hurting everyone... but I'm beginning to feel this is a make or brake it year. Anyone else feeling this ? Down in the dumps....
  11. My vote -- is - - - - Candlemaker -- awesome !!!
  12. I LOVE this idea -- I have been using an excel sheet to track how much we pour of what scents --- to get my best sellers. Also using an excel sheet to track my " cost " of my candles cost of jar - cost of wax - cost of color - cost of scent - cost of label - etc thanks so much Terry
  13. oh and I like the cheesecake idea -- cool !!!
  14. We just made BOMB POPS -- like the popsicles and used cherry - lemon and blueberry. The Lemon was white
  15. Well you can count me in on the boycot --- this is crazy I have also ordered just a few thing from them in the past -- but I'm done -- I also thought their shipping was high Terry
