Something to cinsider for the pricing of your candles would be the fixed costs ( business liability insurance, electric, water etc ) running a calculation to ensure you're covering the basic business costs not just the profit.

Thank you for sharing I am interested in labels 🏷 making

This makes so much since. I use bees wax a lot but I also use soy and coconut for some of my first collection candles . This does makes sense now I need to find out the shipping part. I haven’t launched yet However my family and friends have been buying candles… I post my tester on social media so people will know that I’m getting close to launching and they seem interested and waiting patiently.

I am interested in label making thanks for the video very helpful

I sell wholesale at around 2x cost, retail around 3.5x for a 6 oz candle. I do sell other products at anywhere from 3x to 9x retail. The 9x is actually 5x wholesale. You have to consider market value too. It could be that some items don't sell at 4x but would at 3x. And others, your competitors could be at 7x your cost and they fly off the shelf at 6x. Anything less than a 3x retail to sell is not worth making. You're better off skipping that product. But yeah, learn your cost and be able to give an exact number per item. And don't be afraid to wholesale at a lower cost like 2x or 2.2x. If I have a store purchasing 300 candles from me, I don't mind a 2x. It's super easy to mass produce. And 3 days of work for a $2,000 sale is worth it to me.

This video was so helpful! You’re awesome 👏🏼 thank you

Awesome video! Lots of great information. Thank you! 💕✨🕯️

Thank you for sharing!!!

Thanks for the video. As with most watching, I just started making candles. I am interested in a at home label making video from you.

You have given a great deal of valuable information. I'm having trouble getting the links you've provided to work. What is the best way to connect with you?

I would love to see a label making video pls. Love your Channel ❤

Hello. I would like to learn about label making.

Where does the cost of goods come from? Do we guess how much the wick is and then add up to a reasonable profit

I am looking to get into making candles and my question if you usually need double the solid wax to make a candle wouldn’t you use 16 oz to make an 8oz. Candle?? If so doesn’t it double the cost of was. Everything I see you double solid wax for liquid size

What about adding cost for melting the wax.

Where are you sourcing your beeswax? I've not found any beeswax close to $8/lb. Thanks for staying with natural ingredients!

Hello I'm starting a candle hustle/business myself but am doing so now from Beijing. Perhaps you and I could work together, I could learn the candle biz from you and help you reduce costs by helping you import your materials.

And that price doesn't expressly count the cost of electricity and utensils...
