Do we know the great teach-yourself book / website about candle creation for beginners with recommendation upon how to begin the candle creation commercial operation & instructions upon sourcing materials / supplies?
Megan,
If you are interested in hitting the candle industry from a little different angle then I have an excellent option you might want to consider. It’s SCENTSY Wickless Candles!!! This would allow you to move right into selling a proven and tried product and you could focus all of your efforts towards selling and building your team. This product sells itself and people become addicted immediatly! Business flows!
They are “The Hottest New Thing in Candles” and they beat ANY other candle concept out there. These amazingly strong scents are changing the candle industry. They solve all of the problems and dangers of traditional candles with none of the risk or drawbacks. There is no smoke, no soot, no flame, no lead, no wicks, no wax in the air to breathe and no expensive glass jars to throw out. They offer around 45 gorgeous warmers to match any home’s decor. The warmers ($25) are electric and heated by a 25 watt light bulb which is mounted in the base. An inline on/off switch on the cord allows trouble free scent control. Highly scented wax is placed into a matching cup which sits on top of the base and allows the gentle heat of the bulb to melt the wax into a fragrant pool. This quickly creates incredible “scent throw” which fills the room. These are extremely child/pet friendly as the wax when melted only gets slightly hotter than body temperature. Each “Authentic Scentsy Bar” (available in over 80 scents) is created from a refined – food grade wax and is loaded with luscious oils. Each of these bars last from 50 to 80 hours (most of them much longer) which at under $5 each make this system very economical compared to other dangerous and less desirable methods of scenting your space. After the scent is gone or a different one is desired, the warmer is turned on until the wax melts and can be poured out. The company offers “car candles” and “room sprays” as well in many fragrances. Their items are nicely packaged in stylish gift-ready packaging. These products are sold by “independent consultants” in a variety of parties, shows and boutiques. It is a young company yet has had a huge growth explosion. Scentsy has changed the lives of many who have discovered the ease and success of selling their products. With a simple concept and really addicting products it is an easy choice for any candle lover. They offer an outstanding compensation plan with very low startup costs ($99) and really fun people to work with. I use and sell this product and would recommend it to all. Why keep doing things the old way? Let me know if you would like to try these out or possibly sign up to sell! Email me for my current specials. I hope this helps you and please email if you have any other questions! – Thanks
