I would like to start of by saying that I am fairly new to the candle making game. Unlike some seasoned veterans I barley have a year under my belt making candles and wax melts. However, with the risk of sounding prideful, I make good products. My HT and CT are strong and I have a set process that gives 90% sucess (avoiding major issues) when it comes to production. That being siad, the other 10% lies in the look of the candle. I use soy 464 for my candles and 494 for my melts and each frost. I understand that it is because it is natural and that is what soy does however I can't help but question if someone would want to buy a candle with it. Personally I would be okay with it because I know the quality of the candle is maintained in its most principle level (the scent) however the average consumer might not know that. For the bussiness owners out there, what is your take on selling these 'imperfect' candles?

Hello, I am new to candle making and to this forum, so I apologize if this is redundant, but I mistakenly purchased several large bottle of fragrance oils before testing and they are not what I was looking for. Does anyone buy or sell FO on this site? All of these were purchased end of January and February.

Please let me know if you are interested. Lessoned learned; testers from now on! lol Thanks! Jamie

Wondering if anyone can help brainstorm ideas for selling, that don’t involve me sitting at a table. Any advice on flyers, or Instagram, or any small business/marketing suggestions would be much appreciated. I have tried a few different things...Google AdWords for my website and making an effort to contact website subscribers, but looking to take things to the “next level” and would just prefer not to push into the farmers market or craft fair paths. -
I am just starting to make candles with the hopes of selling them eventually. I am in the process of determining what kind/s of wax to use. I have solely been working with different types of soy wax up to this point. However, there seems to be some benefits from other types of wax (i.e. parrafin and palm). When I research some of my favorite candle companies (Archipelago, Voluspa, Capri Blue, Paddywax, Nest, etc.) they all appear to use a blend of waxes and not just soy. I would like to be "environmentally friendly" and create a "clean" candle but not necessarily at the expense of scent throw and quality. My questions are... Has anyone found selling candles with palm or parrafin wax harder to sell to consumers? Do customers seem to care what wax you use when you are selling them at craft fairs or wholesale to stores? I would appreciate any insight people may have!

Hi guys, So if i have decided to start selling..where do i start..? Do i just need a vendors license if it will only be from home/website? Is there a source i can call to find out what i need legally, do things the right way? Ive been reading threads here and honestly it sounds scary...license,copyrights,warning labels, insurance? I will only be selling wax melts..no candles. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I see that there is a discussion about selling online from late January, but it was kind of discouraging since it was either going slow for those in discussion or being a major hassle to get a customer base. My question: is anyone having a good experience selling candles online? Making a profit? I have to sell online due to weird health (narcolepsy- I have a history of falling hopelessly asleep while manning show booths and can only drive locally). I really need some encouragement if anyone has any to give! Thanks! ??

Hi everyone, My name is Dolly, I'm new here and I am a jewlery maker. Namely, I've been selling my jewelry for quite some time now, it's been something around 7 years... I am mainly on Etsy but since the sales have dropped in the past year or two, I've been searching for some alternatives. So I was wondering, do you know any other website - besides MyMisi.com and Misi.co.uk on which I recently stumbled upon - where you can transfer your items from Etsy? On these websites it's completely free and very easy process, are there any other websites like that? I mean, why not have your items on more websites if it doesn't cost you anything? It just gives us more selling and promotional opportunities... Looking forward to hearing your ideas!

Does anyone else sell at this site? You pay $5 a month or $50 a year and can list and sell with no fees. Sounds like a great way to get your products out there if your just starting out. What are your thoughts on this? Advice? TIA! http://handmadeartistsforum.com/forum/index.php
