StacysScentsations(DH)

Do they have to be silk flower petals or is other materials ok? I have some petals but they arent real silk. feel like it but you can tell they aint

I dont think you are gonna find it any cheaper than that coop

See I saw your banner there but didnt want to mention it. Aslong as you know it isnt a scam it is genious marketing. as long as your products are going to people who would buy them but it sounds like you are doing good with it.

I would guess someone told him about it which is how it usually happens. Google may pick it up but not for a few weeks. There is software though that runs against major search engines as set frequencies. I have mine run every 24 hours for specific words - My Company - then notify me by email of only the changes from the last search.

Thank you jason for answreing my questions. but I dont understand if you are doing it inhouse then why dont you offer graphics on smaller runs. It the technology you use only capable of text on the laminated labels. I mean is that the way it was set up? If I sent you some graphics would your process work I mean the laminating thing on graphics. maybe you could give me a price to have some done, the technology soulds good but would definatlybe better with graphics options. Another thing is how come if you have proprietory technology and a offset print division and the label division etc. Your business address and phone number are of a house in a residential area. According to the satelite image I just looked at. I was expecting to see some huge building and factory type setting not a rural neighborhood. Nothing wrong with working out of your house I do as well but it sounded like you were a very large company.

I think you actually have to upload them to the web first then just link to them in the gallery so you would select the little image square then when the address bar comes up you put in where you uploaded it. If you dont have anywhere to upload them then email me through my profile and I will put them up and send the the appropriate link so you can post. HTH Doug

hey thats great. I think your labels looked really nice to start with but I am all about new gadgets. Congrats Doug

Hello roteck and welcome, you said: What is your method f label printing. IMO the highest quality would be 4 color offset printing on a high quality gloss finish label with waterproof ink. Is that how you do it. If yes then that brings me to my next question you siad: The setup charge is to offset the cost of the plates which they make for your label. Those plates enable them to make high quality prints for their customers from camera ready art. So if thats not the way you do it then please elaborate as I am interested. But no hogwash like : People who invent cutting edge technologies patent, market and sell them not print labels with them. I know because I do work for such companies of such caliper. I am not trying to bash you in anyway, you as a businessman know exactly what you have to sell your product for in order for your business to strive. I also giving you credit for coming here and having a say. However I do some grapichs work and am interested in how your labels are different from those that people make here? If they arent offset printed the they must be injet or laser which people here use. You can buy a nice gloss label and a printer with waterproof ink etc.

If i read it right I give them 35.00 to give away 50 of my products? To who? Just people that pay for a box of little stuff? Out all all the pics of the magazines there is links to 3 websites that they have banners on. I have never heard of them for all that advertising. Not sure it seems like a neat idea but if its a gimmick its alot of hard earned money and product toi waste every month. You may be better with a targeted marketing list and then sending free samples to that, this way if you want to do boutiques you target them florists you target them.

They are too cool...how do you guys do that with the wax. Is it poured really cool or something?

The little freebies will end up getting them hooked on something else. If they are already willing to try your tarts throw in something else free. I packaged bath salts as freebies enough for one bath and that works. Try bunnies bath melt thats what im gonna do.

how do you get your soap like that I mean round and pretty? is it a mold?

If I were you I wouldnt try to make votives with soy and no wick pins. It didnt work out well foir me...nope not at all

He couldve done like me and came here to learn and make a few friends pm a few pics and bang I knew in hours what was wrong and got "EXPERT" advice on what wicks to use for what jars and wax etc. Wasnt hard, neded help, asked, and recieved just like that better then paid support in fact.

I kinda like carol select too

I think the whole testing thing comes into play like this. If you pour three candles and test one and sell the other 2 you didnt test it. Should you test each one in a lab of course not. But what if you tested all 3 and nothing was wrong with one but 2 had blowouts or fo pockets. maybe you could assume that the fo is not working with the blend or temp or jar or wick or something. Burning one is not a test. How long do you think your car was tested before you bought it. What if besides a biologist or rockstar or candelmaker he was a car tester. Would you want him to drive around the block and say its all good and tested here put your kids in it? Now that may sound a little upsurd but we can imagine the consiquences of not testing. Keep in mind you are selling a product that people (not all smart) are going to light on fire in their house with their family. Their house, their family need I say more. Obviously on boards like this if you know candlemaker A uses this wax and this wick and this jar and everything is good you may not need to test quite as much but you need to test. See what I am saying the whole purpose of boards like this is for innovation, creativity and safety as well as learning from your peers. Both their successes as well as their mistakes. Thats what all the pics of botched batches and disastrious candles are in the galleries are for. To figure out what happened, why and how to prevent it. Just my 2 cents sorry for the long boring post. PS. He still didnt fix the email order thing yet to my klnowledge so that should let you know something: Don’t email personal or financial information. Email is not a secure method of transmitting personal information. If you initiate a transaction and want to provide your personal or financial information through an organization’s website, look for indicators that the site is secure, like a lock icon on the browser’s status bar or a URL for a website that begins “https:” (the “s” stands for “secure”). Unfortunately, no indicator is foolproof; some phishers have forged security icons. Hey but that paragraph is just from the Federal Trade Commision website...what do they know?

Has anyone ever tried this cream base http://www.naturesgardencandles.com/candlemaking-soap-supplies/item/bath-7 It sounds really good that it makes 6 different products out of one base. What I was wondering is if anyone knows if it is any good or just to good to be true? Also if anyone has ever ordered from this company how are they? Thanks Doug

that is an excellent use of a tablecloth.It just flows around that whole potpuri setup. It all looks so good. How do you get the wax crumbly looking

I think avery lets you do custom sizes. If you know the exact size you can email me the label and I can try to resize and save as a publisher file. I prefer adobe photoshop others here use paintshop pro , they arent lable programs per sat but I know in photoshop you can size a font to 1/10th of a pixel.

A real candle maker puts chanks in his rustics (HA HA HA) Only kidding they are truly amazing. I just cant imagine anyone burning them though. I wouldnt burn one. I would have to buy a glass case.

Thank you I would have wasted Fo

I vote for a forum dedicated to websites LOL then I can confuse the masses.

Ok now i have questions. How big is the average cini mini? Amd could you use fo as substitute for some of the water? or doesnt it work that way?

There goes my career change. Foiled again. LOL I was gonna be the new king of text only labels. Doug

2.29 a sheet for just text with limited fonts. Sheesh I gotta get a price book LOL
