There's a Party and You're Invited!

Candle parties are a great way to increase your profits!

Check out this valuable information about Candle Parties from CandleMaking.org.uk.

I think two of the best advantages they offer are new local customers that are likely to come back, and the fact that you get specific orders that are guaranteed sales.

If you think you are the kind of person who can host a 2-3 hours party, that it is definitely the way to go!

Joyfull Candle Market Story

Lori Beaty is a self-described candle-freak. Out shopping, her nose will lead her to the candle aisle, where she’ll spend long minutes sniffing, her brain dissecting the scent. When she and her husband moved from Texas to Fairview two years ago, she had an epiphany.

Smaller markets find their groove

I love these stories about people selling their candles in small markets. That's the way to go, and you can't overlook the amount of joy Lori Beaty is having making these candles and selling them, especially when you read about her humorous scents!

I hope you are enjoying yourself making candles at least as much as she does!

A great match for your wick!

I bet one of your most common questions is: which wick goes with the wax I'm using?

If this is the case, this list is perfect for you. It has dozens of wax and wick matches, according to the candle type.

But don't forget, that whatever you end up using - write it down and keep it for your own reference. That is always the best way to go!
