CandleChic Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hi again!I am full of it this week and am downsizing..some. I have ordered the 3.3 oz tureens for wickless and they are adorable(just posted a reply about them in tarts not selling) I saw where 1 of you sell the 4 oz and say they are going over well...so my question is this:Would you sell only the 3.3 oz only or keep the 6 oz as well and sell both? I had thought about just the 3.3 oz and sell a 2 oz spray with it..make it a set or something to that effect and do away with the 6 oz tureens.I have also noticed smaller sells better and sometimes MORE.I am burning a 3.3 oz and can smell it all over the living room and kitchen..so not to bad at all...

ForHisGlory Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I sell the 4 oz (lovely, easy inexpensive gift!) and will also keep the 8 oz because it looks good on the shelf and some want a little bigger container, but also want to stay under $10.I'm actually selling an equal amount of both sizes. I used to sell more 8 oz than 16 oz, but now that I have the 4oz out, it's an equal sell.I will carry the 16 oz this fall if I see that it is being requested. I might, also, carry all three sizes in gift baskets closer to Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 What do these look like? I haven't seen these. I thought a tureen was a huge bowl for soup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I've seen that are called "tureen" are the kind that Tyler Candle carries.http://www.tylercandlestore.com/tyler-candles.html?gclid=CNmqtcKAkZUCFRJFxwodwzqI1w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I like the 3oz tureens there to cute. I have been making 11 oz tureens for my wickless and 8oz tins but this year I decided to mke some smaller ones. People are still buying but they are looking for cheaper gifts like 10.00 and under and the smaller ones work well for that. I am going to test the 3 oz ones out this holiday season and see how well they will sell for me. Regina:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleChic Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 Hi all!The 3 oz tureens I get are at green leaf..and they have black lids or gold..you can choose! have a western type theme so the black is adorable!!! The tureens look like a small bean pot..I never thought I'd like tureens but I do for wickless..tins IMO get to hot...but I've done them. When I got the 3.3 oz..I fell in love! They are the cutest things and the size is perfect. They put out as much as the 6 and 8 oz..IMO. I've decided to sell them for 4$ each or 3 for 10$.I do the room sprays to and may even add 1 with a tureen and sell that way to..haven't decided yet. But I've been downsizing..ppl here buy my car ornies and sprays faster and smaller has sold so much better...so I figure why not just carry the 3.3 oz? They do the same and if they can buy 3 different for 10..it may go over really well!!! I'm going to the dollar store this weekend and see if I can find some cute little crates or baskets to maybe sell them together in?Just an idea! but smaller is better..and the same great quality!!!

ForHisGlory Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 CandleChic,I think your theme is very cool!! I do love my little 4 oz containers! Lots of punch for the money. I call them my "silly willy" jars. My first test candle with these was Med. Fig from CS. Boy, was I impressed! Not only with the FO, but how it threw in that little jar!!! Thought I HAD to have the 16 oz, but I don't.I ran into a couple of gift shops that carry the Yankee and Tyler candles, several times, and noticed that the smaller jars were moving for them as well.So, I get the price I want, good throw and a great gift! What more could you ask for? My sales have gone up and I anticipate a good fall season ahead. My credit card will be very happy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleChic Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 I am pretty happy with the 3 for 10 thing..I think it'll go over good. I'd love to find some small wooden crates that would hold 3 of those babies, and group them with fruits, bakery..etc..lol...neat idea if I can find what I want:)I'm just not gonna offer a lot of different things anymore..only what is selling well...and what I sell out of..and smaller is the way to go! Down to ornies, spray and the little tureens now and it makes me happy:)Dang...I need to find a name for my little guys now..lol..something else to think about as if my mind wasn't cluttered enough with candle stuff,lol. At least I got my labels done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ring of Fire Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 What do these look like? I haven't seen these. I thought a tureen was a huge bowl for soup? Really? They have been around forever for candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I'd seen them but didn't know they were called tureens. Thanks for clarifying that for me, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForHisGlory Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I'd seen them but didn't know they were called tureens. Thanks for clarifying that for me, guys.They only reason I knew is that I've always loved Tyler's container candles and wanted to know what they were called. And I ran across them trying to locate container I was going to use.I sure would have liked to have used these, but it would be overkill in my area.
