Carla257 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 What do you think should be the maximum amount of different scents that you should sell at one time. I havve so many good ones and it would be so hard to get rid of some. I think I have too many, and want a max # to carry at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiffandsniff Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I'm crazy and my goal is to have hundreds of scents. Most people carry like 20-30. I on the other hand of over 100. But I strictly make tarts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Your max # would depend on what kind of candles you make, and whether you plan on having them in stock all the time, or are you making them when someone orders them. For example, if you have 25 scents, and made them only when they're ordered, it would be a pain if someone ordered 25 votives, one in each scent.

eugenia Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 It also depends on how much you pour. FO's do have a shelf life and can spoil. I've had many last 18 mos without a problem stored in the dark.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I carryup to 50 scents year round but only buy certain Holiday scents at the Holidays. But when I want to add a new scent to my line, something old must be retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glowlite Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I carry 25 scents for my main fo line. Then for the holidays or special seasons scents I carry about 5-7. I package the seasonal candles differently, and I give them their own display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
