southernscents Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I read a post where someone mentioned this magazine so I went to their site and checked it out. 20.00 for 4 issues. How many of you subscribe to this?Do you recommend it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bella soy Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 i did. I know it seems alittle steep for four issues. But There are not alot of magazines out there at all about soap and candle making. I went to borders to try to find some books on candle making and they had NOTHING at all! i was shocked. so when i hear of a publication about this art I jump on it no matter what the cost. I think the distibutors know this too...lol...thats why they charge so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guppygirl Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I just got mine a week ago or so. I decided to subscribe because I met the publisher at a convention a few years ago and she & her husband were really wonderful to hang out with. Not that I've talked to them since, but I subscribed to support them and because they provided some great info at the convention about marketing your craft business. I've only gotten about 1/2 way through the mag but am enjoying it so far. The only thing I was surprised about was that it was a 1/2 size magazine (kinda cute LOL!) but still loaded with some interesting content at 60 pages.Here's what's in the back "in the next issue"Industry News: Disclaimers & Warning LabelsHow-To: The Nitty Gritty on ScrubsIngredient Focus: Rosehip Seed OilTimesaversPackaging for Success - Part 1Aromatherapy - Part 2For your Business: Festivals & Bazaars as ToolspH: pHinding a BalanceJuices & ExtractsSummer Conferences RecapThe Joys of SoyHerbal Facial Steams... and they're hiring LOL!

clonefan80 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I subscribed as well and received the magazine earlier this week. They had an article in their about the gift bags at the celebrity award shows that I found interesting. I found it to be worth the price.

Scented Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Actually I'm finding it pretty interesting and from time to time I get a couple of emails as well. Looking forward to seeing future issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrown Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I just went to the web site and signed up. I feel like a $20 subscription isn't a lot when you look at the big picturel. If it can help me to better my business it is worth it. (it will pay for itself) If I get it and don't like I will not resubscribe. Hell, I have wasted more money on other things that were definitely not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
