vcash Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hi everyone, I would like to get some feedback from my peers. We are launching a Chandler Magazine this summer. This magazine will be published quarterly and free to all candlemakers large and small. It will be a non biased publication covering everything from market research, tips, newest candlemaking trends, product reviews, events, consumer trends, business profiles, etc.What would you like to see in a magazine designed just for you and your business?

I certainly would like to see trends and maybe articles on setting up a business: brick and motar, internet or homebased, farmer's markets, etc. Also insurance coverage. Anything new as far as waxes, wicks etc.Chris;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Yippee! We get a magazine!Maybe you could have something like a Cosmo type quiz: Is s/he seeing other candles? or How do you manage your feelings at the end of a candle's life? ...just kidding! A bit more seriously, articles on websites and technology pertinent to the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniedb Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Maybe you could have something like a Cosmo type quiz: Is s/he seeing other candles? or How do you manage your feelings at the end of a candle's life? ...just kidding! OMgosh, ROFL!! Where your candles secret buttons are so it'll NEVER want another chandler.I would love to see what the other posters mentioned, especially trend predictions, maybe some analysis of various markets across the country, what's moving at Market in different regions, maybe have some area for sales reps for either us to advertise for one if we're looking, or the rep to place an ad if s/he's looking for a new line to carry.

clonefan80 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 This would be a welcome addition to us. I am curious though, if its free where is your cash flow coming from, advertising? Will it be available to retailers? Just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 This is the best news I heard in years! I would love to see the magazine cover wholesale accounts and research a development ideas. The other thing I would love to see is the way different chandles setup their work areas. Shelving and pour table ideas. A section on the lastest innovations in melters is also a great idea! Interviews with some of the most innovative chandlers in the country would also be great! Interviews with suppliers like Peaks would also be great!
