JI Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Looking at the Fall and seeing what is selling I am trying to slim down for next Fall and Winter. I have 15 fall winter fragrances and want to slim it down to no more than 8 or so. As far as spring summer goes I currently carry 15 or so and want to slim down to 8-9. Am I crazy? I just feel that if I carry less I can afford to buy the huge 5 lb containers instead of the smaller 1 lbs. I do not want to carry fragrances that only appeal to a few. In my closet I currently have a total of 34 varieties. I am wondering about the "less is more" philosophy. What do you all carry and have you slimmed down over the years?

Candybee Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I decided a long time ago to limit my candle fragrances. I carry 12 regular scents and 6-8 seasonal scents I change out. This has also helped me keep costs down. I sell mostly thru farmers markets and craft shows so it works out for me in those venues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JI Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 I do farmers markets, craft shows and some wholesales. I like your numbers. I also had a hard time selling pure floral this summer unless it was for old ladies. I had much better luck with citrus and herbal. I want tp phase out and ditch two of the florals and add an extra citrus.How does this sound for the slimmed down version for spring/summer:2 florals2 fresh1 woodsy3 herbal3 citrusThere would be some crossover bc some citrus can fall under herbal etc... Then for fall/winter add:8-9 classics like evergreen, gingerbread etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I sell more florals in the spring and more fruit types in the summer. So these would be ones I switch out for each season to match what sells best for that time of year; Spring: florals; Summer: fruit; Fall: Harvest scent; Winter: holiday scents.It works for me anyway. When I have seasonal candles leftover I sell them at bargain prices at an annual yard sale I do in the spring. I sell a boatload of out of season candles that way usally at wholesale price so I don't lose any money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccoLights Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I think your numbers sound good rose and I won't even tell you how many we carry now LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
