JanetsCandles Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Alrighty, guys. I'm starting this thread a bit before the end of our mad rush, but things are slowing down for me, and I was wondering how you all did this season (so far). Any really super popular scents or designs you'd like to share or brag about? Sales up or down this year?Craft fair sales for me were about normal, maybe slightly down this year. Online sales exploded, though. This is a good thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 #1 in soy wax clamshell melts was Mistletoe (CS); ran out of stock twice. Sales seemed to be better this year ... but it may have been the location. Usually we are at a pavilion and this year we were at the Officers' Club. Suspect we had more attendees that came to just see the inside of the club and they wound up making purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 #1 in candles and melts for me was Mistletoe as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 # 1 for me in clamshells was Reindeer Poo and Snowman Balls It seemed that this year they were buying all the odd scents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Rocky mountain Christmas here- both melts and candles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Top seller for me has been Spiced Cranberry, and still selling skads of Toasted Marshmallow, didn't expect that at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrookstoneCandles Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Hi, new to these forums (I'll locate an "introduce yourself" thread in a bit here)...Anyways, this is our first Holiday season in business, and we've enjoyed a lot of good success, but two scents have really been solid for us:"Sweet Snow" (NG) and"Christmas Cabin" (NG) -- which we actually renamed "Winter Berry" because we thought it was more appropriate for the scent.Those two sold like hotcakes for us, and still are. We also carried Gingerbread (with moderate success) and Christmas Pine (kind of only appealed to a niche market, but for those who wanted a pine scent in their home, they loved it).

Moonbeam Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 pretty much everything did well, the top sellers would have to be cinnamon bun (which I may keep all year, it's yummy!), Honey Gingerbread and one with Lemongrass EO. Glad you all had good sales this season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 My #1 was Bayberry. Followed by Candy Cane, Cinnamon and Frasier Fur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmeroo Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I did a few craft fairs and Sugar Cookie(CS) and Mistletoe(CS) both sold out! Oreo(Aztec) came in second then Winter Spice (JS) was third.These were melts also not candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
