Dolphin146 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 The other day I was in the threads on etsy and a woman wanted to know information about making B & B items Well I gave her my two cents about how it could take a while with testing and all. I also told her how long it took me before I started selling my melts. (about a year) This other lady comes in and tells me a year it took me one day to have mine ready to sell your slow. So that tells me she must just slap the wax, EO's (is what she uses) into a clamshell and sells it without testing. I just don't get it. How can you sell an item without testing it. Thats just crazy. :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella Rose Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Taking 1 year to sell melts..does seem long, in my opinion, however, everyone does things differently. I wouldn't let her bother you, maybe she spent 48 hours straight testing melts? It's possible. Who cares~ as long as we are developing a safe product.

It depends on your goals, how many FO's and waxes you want to test/mix/experiment with, how much time and money you have to develop and test your line, design your labels/packaging, get set up as a business, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 I took my time tried different waxes and scents to see what I would liked and what worked the best for me. I am a very picky person when it comes to my product Sometimes to picky LOL. But now I am very happy with what I choose and I know what scents work with my wax and which ones don't. Hell sometimes I still try out new waxes to see If there better. Ahhhhhh the fun it never ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I never worry about 'slapped' together products. These fly by night businesses tend to fold just as fast as they open. Quality is still a hallmark of what keeps a biz going. Repeat customers want quality and thats what you should focus on. The rest will fall into place.
