SnowCow Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 i just raised mine a little, but it was more b/c i can't find my wax locally anymore and have to order from far away. that really sucks! i just make pillars, so can't comment on the jars....

Beth-VT Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Nope. The wax increases, when you break them down per oz, are really pretty minimal. I manage to get 4-5x cost for retail, so I've no need to increase prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I wouldn't raise prices just because you "heard" supply costs have gone up anyway. Now, if you had to buy more at much higher prices, that'd be different. Figure what the cost difference per candle to you, then decide.

cindym Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I haven't raised my prices at all, I have been able to buy at the same prices or less by hunting around, changed wax which kinda wasn't fun but I always have a little buffer in my prices anyway.
