      @CorneliaAudrey At least you’re honest about why. I’m with you on that for sure. I’ve seen a handful of other candle company home business videos and am amazed at how well they’re doing. I hope you reach your goals and live the successful life you’re manifesting for yourself. God made a world of abundance we just need to accept it and be grateful for it. ❤

    Thank you for sharing! I can relate to all your reasons why. I started off with some skincare products like shower gel, lotions, butters… then I added candles.& I really love doing them. So I’ve now had to minimize what products I provide it was overload. But I love this!! I can’t wait to retire so I can put all my time into it. I have 3 to go

    Did you do "Give Away" candles in the beginning. If so approximately how much do think that you spent on Give Aways?

    • @CorneliaAudrey
      @CorneliaAudrey  5 місяців тому

      Yea I have some to friends! I did smaller jars as my testers first. Then some trial and error even once I got my new jars in the mix. I probably spent a $100 or so!

    You are so brave for ordering your jars from china lol! I want to do the same but i fear that they will break in transit or even a few will break. Did you have any break on you? Just the time it takes to receive and the shipping. It is so much more affordable than US prices that is for damn sure lol. But i hope to build the courage to order from the site where i have purchased products to sell on amz but for my candle business.

    Hey! It was so cool learning more about your candle biz! I'm not sure if you already do this, but it would be so cool if you offered a quarterly candle subscription to your customers via your website. It would make a great Christmas gift for any candle lover! And eventually maybe you'll have a scent for every province and can do a monthly candle subscription - just a random idea! :)
    Also, if you could put the link to your candle shop in your description that would be great! (the Amazon link currently there isn't working)

    • @CorneliaAudrey
      @CorneliaAudrey  Рік тому +2

      That's a great idea, thank you! Something for me to work on building out once we hit the new year. I am really excited about all of the growth ideas!
      And thanks for the heads up on the links, seems like things got messed up, I'll fix those! :)

      @CorneliaAudrey  10 місяців тому

      I had them in a couple stores this past summer. The markets weren't really worth my time and I don't find people buy candles as much in the summers. I will hopefully be in more stores this summer!
