Lets talk business trends.

1.What do you sell mostly, Paraffin, Soy or Palm?

2.What size container is your biggest seller?

3. Do you sell more candles or tarts?

4. what part of the usa are you in?

5. Are you happy with your current line or do you have any plans to change it?

For me the answers would be:

1. i mostly sell soy

2. 10.5oz is our biggest seller

3. We sell more candles then tarts at this point

4. We are located in illinois not too far from chicago

5, i am happy with our current line but may add a line of palm candles too.

Hi, I'm not selling yet but I just wanted to say hi from Illinois. I am in Naperville how about you?

[pixie]

Hi Felix!

Im not too far from Naperville, I'm located in Joliet. We lived in Naperville about 10 years ago. Great town! All of my selling has been done through friends and family and my husbands workplace. I hope to do some craft fairs this spring and summer.

1. soy

2. 8 oz jars

3. depends on the show, sometimes more candles, sometimes more tarts and sometimes it's about even

4. ky

5. happy with the line for now, but, always adding new scents. I am going to attempt to do the soap dipped leaves and petals when I have the time and see how those go.

1. Soy

2. 8 oz.

3. Candles. Tarts do not sell for me, although I keep trying.

4. Pennsylvania (rural)

5. Pretty happy with current line. I am actually trying to reduce my available scents from 35 to around 20 or 25 for economic reasons.

1. parasoy

2. 12.5 oz. mason

3. sell many more tarts, but make a bigger profit on candles

4. PA- also a rural farm area

5. I just reduced my line for simplification...limited the sizes and types that I offer to the most popular.

[lsbennis]

1. Parasoy

2. 11oz tumbler

3. Sell more candles then tarts

4. South Florida

5. Happy with line but adding soap and b&b and next year want to work on a luxury line of candles.

[Common Scents]

1. Soy only

2. 9 oz hex jar - my only size

3. No tarts yet - early next year

4. Charlotte, NC but most of my clients are in & around my hometown in SW VA

5. I will be adding 5 new scents to my spring & summer line & another 5 in the fall & winter of 2011. I only carry 15 right now. I will also be adding tarts next year as well. Other than that - I am a happy camper!

[rebeccajo99]

1. Palm

2. Tarts only right now

3. Obviously tarts since I don't carry candles yet

4. West Michigan

5. I would like to add more to my home scenting line. Going to start testing votives and armona beads soon. Also thinking about starting to test soy tealights again since I still have materials laying around. Took a break from wicked candles since my boys liked to blow them out or got to close to the flame to make me comfortable. Since i have my workroom now, I can test them and "lock" them out of the room.

[Brenda (OH)]

1. Parasoy

2. 8 oz Straight Side Jar

3. I sell more tarts but only slightly

4. NW Ohio

5. I'm never 100% happy with my line. I am weak when it comes to scents and have way TOO many. I need to scale back but it hasn't happened yet. I'd like to add a classier jar style but don't have time for testing. Maybe in 2011.

[Gucci]

1.Paraffin and Gel

2. 16oz

3.Candles but am getting ready to offer tarts

4.Central ohio

5. In the process of a complete overhaul
