Candlelady4ever Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 Jars ,pillars or votives?I would do a poll thingy, but I cant find where to start it. I did a search for polls on this subject and didnt find one. So hope this isnt a repeat. So guys and gals, which is it??? Quote
CraftyChris Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 I find in my store, my regular customers buy jars, but if it's a new customer, or someone wants to try a scent-they buy votives. I do have a customer base who comes in and buys votives once a week too though. Definitly not pillars-they are more an order type of thing, although we do keep a healthy stock of them on hand-I never seem to have just the right sixe and scent....SOOOOO to anwser your question (lol) Jasts #1, with votives a tight #2. People tend to burn votives in specific holders- and jars can be any place.Novelty candles, like pies, hurricanes, people tend to buy as gifts.Hope that helps a bit... Quote
RobinInOR Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 I took the liberty of making it a poll for you And when I started, it was votives. Now it's pillars cuz that's all I sell, but at the beginning I did everything. Quote
Trish Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 All my wholesale accounts buy pillars and only one orders pillars AND jars, so pillars are the majority of my business.However, to friends (and friends of friends) I sell jars. Hardly any votives... Quote
Candlelady4ever Posted May 4, 2006 Author Posted May 4, 2006 Thanks Robin! I guess the " something else" would be tarts,tealights,jars that would set on warmers? I was surprised at the poll, "something else" and jars almost the same. Quote
Bev Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 I don't sell pillars but I do sell votives, jars and tins. Jars are my best seller. Quote
Candlelady4ever Posted May 4, 2006 Author Posted May 4, 2006 come on people:yay: you dont have to comment on this post, just vote:bump: Quote
Glowlite Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 I sell mostly pillars with votives coming in second. I sell very few jar candles. Quote
wincie Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 For me it's hurricanes...I work with party planners...so I do a couple functions per month....a LOT of hurricanes...a close second though are pillars:wink2: Winsome Quote
Candle Makin Momma Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 8 oz jars. I also offer votives and tarts, but they rarely sell Quote
Tallbabydoll Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Hurricanes then votives. I don't make containers, but have had requests for them. I just don't want to start the testing process all over again and add another wax to the mix, already use 3 different waxes and only have a 1 bdrm house. LOL Quote
