katinka Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Just thought I would make someone's day, I know this pic made my day - apparently other people also have problems... (And you won't believe how much they charged for this!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamR Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 That does look bad, but since they are boxed, the customer doesn't see it til they take it out of the box. But if the candle is super strong, I don't think the customer will care that much how it looks.PamR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that customers DO care about how a product appears... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmvanilla Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Since I began making candles, I find myself always checking out other candles in the stores. They ALL have wet spots and some have had frosting. Pier One, Wally World, Yank's at BB&B to the corner grocer. I've seen candles with frosting flying off the shelves at Cracker B. I really don't think people mind them. Unless they buy for a gift or perhaps to add to decor. I've done that before.I was going to post a pic in the gallery the other day because I wanted you guys to see a very UNSAFE candle I purchased from one of the big guys.Nothing securing the wick tab and the wick shifted horribly. I did not even realize how dangerous this candle was until AFTER I started making candles and visiting this forum. The jar is so full of soot it's ridiculous. I did not "marathon burn" this candle. And the kicker is--it's soy and on the label it says clean burning.I think you guys are way too hard on yourselves about the wetspots and frosting. I'll bet your candles are much better than the big guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
