Oh wow thank you so much! What a huge compliment! ☺️

I sell at farmers markets also, mostly candles. Just started making wax melts and was thinking of purchasing wax warmers to sell as a set with the melts

I was thinking of doing the same thing.

did you start the business

Love that!! ☺️

She said they come in cute shapes and designs

Aw wow thank you soo much!! What a nice comment :)

Thank you! ☺️

Definitely agree! Wax melts are the best!

I’m so glad it was helpful :)

Totally see what you mean! Yes candles are more profitable, that’s a great observation

Not really true- candles have a lot more expense to make- 1) mor wax 2) wicks and the accessories required to hold wicks down etc 3) glass or metal jars, lids, then you have to add your labels and safety labels and then packaging is larger and more fragile (if it’s a glass candle)… and it takes way more time and testing. Wick testing alone can take $500 in your first experiments with candles. Melts are wax and oil and whatever packaging and small labels you are using and are sent in a much smaller non fragile postal bag. You can also create a recycling program where customers send back the hard plastic cube container your melts came in, you clean it out and re-use it and your customers get reward points or discounts for doing so. You cannot really do that online with glass candle jars the cost of fragile packaging and the risk of it breaking on the way back is too great. So you can’t really say candles are more profitable even if she sold more candles because the profit margin is ALWAYS less with candles due to the outlay just to make a single candle not to mention a whole batch. And then there is setting times… fixing air bubbles at the top… lower scent throw so needing to use more oil…. Candles are not fun. Nor are they of a greater profit. Eveyone makes candles and it may seem like there’s wax melts everywhere but if you come up with a USP and make your different and have amazing blends and quality melts wity amaisng cold and warm scent throw - well just look at Scentsy! Two women started that in their kitchen! It’s a $5.2 billion industry in America last year alone! (Wax melts!)

@@olivialovesdesign I won't disagree that the profit margin per unit is higher for wax melts, but I was talking about total revenue and total profits. Just taking the units sold that she provided and comparing that to the prices she has listed on her website, she generated $1,920 of revenue from wax melts and $6,096 of revenue from candles. That's a difference of over $4,000 total revenue. I can't imagine the the profit margins are such that the wax melts brought in more total profits. Of course, I could be wrong about that. But, again, that would have been more interesting than just going over units sold.

@@olivialovesdesign Interesting that you mentioned a cold scent throw. I had never thought of that!

sorry I don’t understand what you said?

Oh that’s sounds so interesting! ❤️

Do you have a website I’m interested in seeing that ?

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo Thanks! I write all the stories and record them myself.

What are Audio story telling candles? That sounds so cool but I don’t understand how it works?

Look up- making candle labels with Canva and making candle labels with cricut/vinyl cutter and you’ll see tutorials

But don’t pay for someone else to do it.

I use a blend of soy 10 and beeswax and I use about 8% for my candles

Hi! I think it depends on where you live on whether or not it is legally obligated, but it is a VERY good idea to have. (think about driving a car without insurance) I personally use liberty mutual, but i know a lot of people use indie!

Actually about 18% of my audience is male :)

I don’t personally but I would recommend joining candle/wax melt Facebook groups because there’s tons of makers in there!

Every business is different, I’ve had great success and a good profit with them :)

$8 online with free shipping

This is the respirator I use :) amzn.to/3qPPNaY (You also have to buy the filters separately, I use 3m 2097 filters)

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo thanks sweets ❤️

What about marketing your room sprays into smaller bottles for like car freshener spray?

wonder how hard it would be to make it into aerosol for like the bathroom?

or even something like those 'Glade -Plug ins'

Oh these are all really interesting ideas! 🤔

I’m not sure, I know that “tart melt” is trademarked though. I just call them wax melts :)

scentsy is for old suburban facebook moms. not the hype anymore

Dollar Tree and Walmart as well.

I disagree because it’s a different market! Mass produced vs handmade is different. I’ve had so much success with wax melts, people love them if they perform better than what they typically use
