How to Start a Candle Business
Every year, America spends $2 billion lighting up their lives with the
romance, and soft glow of candles that come in all shapes, sizes and
scents. They're one of the most popular home decorating accents, even
for people who are not dedicated to doing their home in themes and
matching colors/accessories.
Now is an excellent time to start a candle business, either as a
supplement to your regular income, or as a career that can be carried
on in the evenings after your partner is home to look after the
children.
One of the basic recommendations before starting any business, is to
research the sales statistics for your area, and nationally. You have
the option of conducting a business locally, or combining it with an
Internet site that will bring you more orders. Remember though, that
there is a time commitment to both, and be sure that you can handle
that before you jump into deep waters.
If you make candles yourself, that's great! You can advertise your
business through flyers, posters, word of mouth, and demonstrations at
home or office lunchtime "parties". The most difficult aspect is not
in starting the business, but in balancing it with your personal life,
while balancing the time needed for both, along with the business
aspects such as buying supplies and setting prices.
You may choose instead, to work for an established company that will
equip you with samples and catalogues, which you can share with
family, friends and co-workers as well as displaying at home parties.
In addition, many of these companies also include candle accessories
like sconces, holders, candelabras, decorative rings, and snuffers.
