Ways to Make Money with A Candle Business

There are so many ways for you to make money with a candle business. The lists below give you some ideas of ways to market candles with a home based candle business. Truly your creativity and ideas are what will boost your business.

One of the easiest ways to sell candles is to share them. Let people smell your candles. We have a jingle in the candle business called "smell and sell". Sure you can tell people about your candles and how great they are but unless you get the candles under someone's nose, it'sjust another candle. Letting people experience your candles is the best way to market your candles.

Another tip and great way to start selling is by making a list of people that you know. From there, start sharing. There are several "pain free" ways of sharing your candles. For example, always, have candles lit when you have company, give candles as gifts, leave a scent sample & business card with a generous tip at a restaurant. Over time, people will know you are in the candle business!!
