leisa2003 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hi, I was wondering what some of you do, when selling your candles. Do you sell out of your home, a store front, or online? Thanks, Leisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leisa2003 Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 Ahhh!!! Nice to see another Taylor Hicks Fan.... Gonna go see him next summer at the Country Concert here in Ohio. Its a full weekend. Do you do well with selling online? How do you advertise your site? Thanks, Leisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Well I do it through my website and all my friends and people I get to know online go there to buy :-) I play on several game sites, on different forums for networking and stuff and that is how I do it and then word of mouth through friends/family.

bugtussle Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 We do it all. Wholesale, a few consignments, sell online, open our shop monthly for customers, sell thru a sales rep, do a trade show now & then, and do a LOT of fundraisers.
