RWV Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 The clam shells seem easier and less time-consuming to make than the tarts, but which ones sell the best for you? Also, do you use the same markup on them as you do container candles?Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scopeland14 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I'm in Oklahoma and I sell more clamshells. Easy packaging and labeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number2of7 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Georgia girl here....in my best southern voice, "everyone 'round these here parts thought the clamshells were soap" .... buncha-rednecks! Needless to say, we sell tarts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 LOL about people thinking the clamshells were soap.. I made a couple of tarts for my friend using a mold I sometimes use for mini sample sized soaps and she thought they were soap too. Called me up and said "these dont lather at all, whats going on?" lol. I dont do them for shows, but I think the ease of the clamshells make them really appealing.

HeavenScentU Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 People always ask if the clamshells are candy and if it is edible...I give them a puzzled look but I let them know it is a melt not candy....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleMama6 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Scentsy seems to be big here so people have never mistaken the clamshells for soap or candy. But I can just see someone trying to shower with one or popping it in their mouth to eat. I don't do many of the tart shaped and love the clamshells. Pour, close and label. Gotta love it!!

kandlenutz Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I asked some of my friends about what they prefer, and they liked the tarts better b/c they dont have to break them apart, they just take out of the bag (bakery bag). So, I decided not to do clamshells based on that. The clamshells sure seem like the easier way to go though. My friends were previously scentsy customers before i started making candles/tarts:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardLOZ Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 We do clamsheels for some of our wholesale accounts who want them, and tarts for the others. Markets we dont take clams as we are trying to keep our stall pretty much recycled and recyclable.Having said that though we have to shrink wrap the tarts or the shops wont take them, which makes them a PITA to do compared to the clams, but we generally sell way more tarts in any case.

Candybee Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I've sold both and the tarts outsell the clams by a mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
