  1. Mystical Angel you said online parties? I havent heard about these at all. Could you explain this a little bit? It sounds interesting. Thanks so much!
  2. I found the best advertisement is word of mouth. Some other ideas are leaving business card or flyer tacked on your local supermarket bulletin board (if available) I have donated baskets for raffles. Most that I have gave away as gifts or samples has given me a lot of business. I had my mother in law take a scent list and order forms to work.......that gave me over 60 sales. Hope some of these ideas help. Of course everything would have your website on it also:p
  3. I am not in a position where I sell a lot and need a bag for every customer. I bought a package of 13 kraft bags with handles for $3.86(about .30 per bag) I found them in the crafts section at walmart.
  4. I did a search on the board for candle parties but couldnt find what I wanted to know. I have a friend who lives 3 hours away, she would like to host a candle party. She says she will have at least 10 - 15 people attend. I was wondering exactly how much I should bring? We have decided that if alot of guests order items I dont have with me that I can ship them to my friends house for her to deliver (save on shipping). Yet I want to be able to sell alot right there too. I have gone over this a hundred times on paper and it seems I want to take WAY too much! LOL What do you think? I only offer 4 different size container jars at the moment.....party isnt till march.......will have testing done on a new jar by then. So 5 diff size Jars and my tarts. Oh and I offer 45 scents maybe a couple more before march. Thanks in advance for any input or advice:bliss:
  5. Canton is only a 2 hour drive for me. I got to iron out the details but I am hoping I can go!
  6. Thank you so much!! I didnt realize those linked to the site! I feel so dumb:embarasse
  7. I have looked for this company many times and I can not find it:cry2: Can you give me a link to their site? Thanks soooooo Much!
  8. I have a customer requesting Strawberry Melon Scent. I have not seen this scent any where. Does anyone know where I might find it? Thank You!
  9. Not too sure on the subject, but isnt Avon and Home & Garden a little similar to selling like we do. I understand that the product doesnt come direct from thier home, but shouldnt they have a license to sell? Or I suppose that is covered by the company itself? Im not reffering to taxes and such. Just the zoning laws and permits. I just dont understand why I go through the hassle of getting a permit when they dont need to. I am sure people selling Avon are making alot more money than I am right now;)
  10. I was all about doing the right thing. Offering their money back or exchanging the candles, until they wanted to order the same scent in a larger size. That is what completely threw me. I asked why they wanted to order that same scent if they were unhappy with it, still waiting on a reply. Maybe they are trying to think up a good reason or they have realized I am not completely stupid! I never thought to ask for the candle back.....I wonder how much of it has been burned. I will be asking for it back in exchange for a new candle of the same size. I think I will go ahead and let them order the Love Spell in the larger size, with the understanding that there will be no refund/exchange if they are not pleased. I wouldnt go to a bakery and buy a cookie, tell them I dont like the cookie then order a dozen more! I want to be professional about this but I dont think my product is the problem.
  11. I am so upset! I had 2 people who I dont know (friends of friends) buy a few of my candles. The only candle they both got the same was my love spell. I have sold or given away alot of these. Well they both claim that there is no scent throw at all when the candle is lit. I didnt have this problem while testing and neither does the other 4 people who bought the same candles! I offered their money back.......NO they want different candles to replace the love spell ones. Which I almost considered until.......they went on to order a larger size candle, guess what scent!!!! Love Spell! Now this makes no sense to me at all! I guess if people are willing to lie to get free candles then I must have a decent candle and need not worry! Still they are making me look bad to potential customers. Sorry I just wanted to vent a little and see if anyone else has had this happen to them.
  12. I was thinking to dip them and use them as rearview hanger/airfreshner. I guess they would still melt and drip though? http://www.cozyhomecraftsupplies.com/plush.html they are at the bottom of the page.
