Sndfrddy Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I'm asking $11. My husband's co-workers that really like my candles, say I am asking to little and selling myself short. What do you think? Thank you for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandelion garden Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Raise the price.Yep, raise it.I'm still testing mine but plan to ask $16 for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloga Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 $1 per ounce was the recommendation at a chandlers class I attended. With that in mind....$16 for 16-oz. tin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I don't sell the 16oz. tins but....for my 4oz. jars I sell them for $5 (or 3 for $12), 6oz. tins are $7 (or 3 for $8) and so on and so forth.So mine are always a $1 more than the ounces I guess. You are definitely selling yourself short there girlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie*dust Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I never thought about $1 a ounce.. never once popped in my head.. I need to raise my prices... I charge 8.00 for 16oz jelly jars!Maybe thats why hubby looks at me like I have 3 heads when I say I need more stuff, I'm forgetting to pay myselfpix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I usually stick with the $1 oz idea too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sndfrddy Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 Tahnks so much for the replies. Looks like I'll raise my prices. Any suggestions on how I should approach this? Maybe announce that are are going up in said time and that it's die to increase of wax prices and shipping costs? What do you suggest? Thank you so much for all the advice!

Thank you so much for all the advice!Announce the price increase and have a sale at the same time. So, due to the increase in manufacturing and shipping prices, we are going to have to raise our prices, etc . . . But for the next week we will give you 20% off your next order. Obviously, make it sound better, but people will likely forgive you for the increase if they can get a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sndfrddy Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 That sounds like a good way to handle it. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovy Chic Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I also charge $1.00/oz but I figure my cost a little differently. My 16 oz tins, which I love BTW and always buy from Peaks, actually holds 11 oz. wax and 1 oz oil. At $1.00/oz, that's $12.00. Then I add the cost of the tin, which I don't triple in price, @$1.50, and throw in another $1.00 for wicks, color and labels. My final cost is $14.50.
