GailC Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I'm just curious because my business has increased dramatically! Most of my customers come through Facebook and word of mouth. People are staying home and burning through their candles. I do porch pick up and most customers don't even smell them before they buy. I have also shipped some orders. Someone posted in a local group on FB looking for local candles, and it was heartening to see all the recommendations for my candle business. She contacted me last night and ordered 6. Another new customer has, get this, 8 melt warmers and she has ordered 9 times in April and May. Mostly melts but also a few candles. She is obsessed with Pumpkin Sugared Donut from Fragrance Buddy. My son made an online flyer, very nice and professional looking, promoting my candles on FB. He has LOTS of FB friends. So far I've gotten 3 large orders because of the flyer. I am happy and blessed. How about you? How is your business doing during this unprecedented time? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanfordP Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 It's been like Christmas for us. Facebook and instagram is where it's at. Because everyone is at home browsing to pass the time. And a $20 candle is not a huge investment to feel good. Glad @GailC you're having an uptick... It's def a good feeling! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilosCandles Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 My online sales are up. I am not 100% sure why. I have many ideas. Everyone being quarantined and stores being closed am I sure is part of it. How much I am not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
