Gravity Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Here's what I've been up to for the past month or so...Across the top: Snowed In, Honeysuckle Morning, Cranberry Apple Tea, Lavender Vanilla Mist, Spring Breeze, Cucumber Melon Cooler, Emerald Isle, Hot Spiced Cider, Chocolate Raspberry TorteBottom Row: Vanilla Pear Glaze, Georgia Sunrise, Old Saint Nick, New Orleans Nights, Blueberry Baker's Dozen, Christmas Eve, Vanilla Silk, Gingerbread MenI've also got a hanful more scents that aren't pictured here, because I haven't printed the labels yet. These are my 2 oz. sampler tins. I've grown accustomed to people not reading the label, and just asking "what's with the label?"Here's a closer look:There's an instrument panel from a car across the top.. which confuses until you read the label, which may be a little difficult to read in these pics. Since these are my tester tins, basically just to see if you're into the scent before investing in a large jar... I've dubbed them " testdrive " Ahh.. see, now you get it! Feedback/comments are appreciated.. this is the first time I've shown off my work here, and really nervous about it! And yes, they're all 100% soy, only add color, FO, and UV inhibitor to my candles.

Gravity Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Hahah... I got the same reaction from friends/family once they took a closer look at the label.We've got a couple more catchy little names for the other candles... but, all in due time.

BruceCarvesWax Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Looks nice. Do they have wicks or are they more of a sample pack you can take to dealers and wholesale accounts for them to sniff? Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravity Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 They have wicks! They last around 10-12 hours each, and they also do wonderfully on a candle warmer. I went for the shallow and wide tin so I could get a large melt pool, and let the customer really get a sense of the smell. They effectively scent a decent sized bedroom, and I tried one in my living room/kitchen (open floor plan) and it threw quite nicely. Had it burning on the kitchen counter, and I could smell it sitting on the couch at the other end of the living room.Friends/coworkers are going nuts over them! I was originally only going to charge $2-$3 dollars for them seeing as they're small, and literally just testers for the scents... that was until everyone said they'd be willing to pay $5 each!! So, I compromised, and right now I'm doing them $4 each or 3/$10. I've got so many orders now, I'm trying to keep up! Hopefully, they'll quickly turn into jar orders!

Didn't you just start making candles like a few weeks ago???If so... your rushing things a little by going into full out selling I think.Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravity Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 I started posting here a few weeks ago... there's a difference. And, these sales are just to friends and family. I'm not going full-blown business plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
