Looking to see about getting insurance for our candle biz

Sounds good.

Eclamshell has a 1524 and Impact has a 1524 are they the same clamshell sold by two different companys??? Eclamshell has them for a little cheaper and both companys are in Corona CA. Is there a quality difference???

I didnt think of the hang tag. That may be a option . I will see how that works thanks. Trying to aviod labeling the glass lid. Bobby

Trying to find out how to label this jar due to its curves. Im using the flat glass lid. It appears that Ill have to label it on top of the lid or does anyone know a shape that can be used on the side that will lay flat.

25. mzpickles - MC debit, attempted purchase Street-Feet.com (in the UK!!) last Tuesday or Wednesday. Bank caught it though. I haven't ordered any candle supplies in at least a month or 6 weeks, but it might be easier for me to list who I haven't ordered from in the last year.

26 - Beans . Last used at CS on 2-28. fraudulent activity on 3-1 ,3-5 , 3-6 all were in UK. I really feel strongly that mine was stolen at that CS transaction.

The last time I used my card was for CS on 2-28. Then got hit on 3-1 .

My visa got used on 3-1 for three purchases in the UK . I used it only for CS, Filmore and jar store.

Im Blending 464 and 4630 and getting great results.

Hey Trudi, by the time I send them back and pay for shipping back to them , plus I paid for shipping to receive them and minus there 15% restock fee Im gonna end up losing money just for principle. I have thought about that though!! Thanks for looking out.

Thanks Steve your link is for the co I am having a problem with. I also was talking about funky monkeys sugestion for TVG. Appreciate it though. Bobby

Yeah me either couldnt locate a web site.

This was my second order from Jar store. First order was great. I am using Libbey 102 wisper jars. Through heavy testing I have a great candle with this jar and was just getting traction to move foward with my product and get things off the ground. I received a new order of jars only 2 cases for now and plannned on a huge bulk order of glass after tax refund comes. But now I have a big problem. The flat glass lids they sent me on this order are real poor quality and will give these jars the look of a second hand product . I called them and spoke to two Ladies there and the first person seemed willing to help and said they have been getting plenty of calls on this quality. She then put on Paula who was unwilling to help or stand by there products. Paula said she would not replace these lids and I was stuck with this junk because it was a Libbey manurfactured lid (made in mexico). There web site states customer satisfaction so what gives.

Thanks Steve and Southern Grace

Thanks to all who responded with sugestions.

Regardless of your choice of marketing, it's important to correctly spell your product. It's PARAFFIN.

That said, I'm really not understanding your question. Have you perfected ONE candle? One scent? One container? Do you plan to make a buttload of just this one candle and try to sell just this one scent? Shoot, I wish I'd thought of that. lolol.

I would recommend you check our the business section of this forum. There are a lot of marketing tips there, including craft fairs, websites, wholesale, consignment.

What I've done is I made over 100 testers over the last 6 months working hard to get a formula that works. I am happy with it now and my last 15 testers with different FO perform the same and I feel confident that its a good product. Sorry I left out the parts of different fo's, different %, % of wax blends etc. , most important lots of$$ doing research. Just looking to see what most would really call a Soy Paraffin bled of wax candle to their customers.

After 6 plus months of R & D I finally got a great looking container candle that I can produce. Same results every time. Cold throw , HT both awesome. Burns great all the way down. What advise can be given on marketing my product. I am using a pariffin and soy blend that I am mixing myself . Do I tell people its a soy blend candle , a parasoy candle, a premium wax candle ????? appreciate all advise

I agree with Mindy. Keep working at it. It takes alot of time but you'll get it.

Thanks for the help. I will check that out.
