I love private label. Here's the thing most people forget. You don't have to give YOUR scent/formulation/design to the client. You get to craft something specifically for them. I love that!
Great ideas!! I’d add realtors, realtors ALWAYS buy candles for open houses, best part is they allow you to place business cards with your candle for potential buyers! Also even offer a free candle to anyone who buys from your realtor, It’s a gold mine
You’ve got the business thing down. I have a business doing something completely unrelated and was very impressed to see you talking about COGS and how detailed you were with it all. Some people got it, some don’t. You’ve got the brains and the ambition/craziness to make it happen and execute. One quick suggestion, maybe you could make a video talking about cash flow and credit terms with suppliers even if that only means buying with a credit card etc. Kind of a complex topic, but I think you could explain it well. Keep going, love your videos!
Hi Erica!! I've been watching all your videos for the past week and I want you to know that you're inspiring me to do more and be as successful and inspiring as you. Thank you so much for teaching us sooo so much!! You deserve success and love
Thank you so much for these insightful suggestions! I am in the process of creating my own candle making business and your video was exactly what I hoping to find. It filled me with what I needed to have a clear understanding of where to start. Hoping the best for your candle making journey!
Omg!! This video was outstanding and I hope you add more to it! I am 6 months into my candle business and I freaking love love making candles! My style is rustic, chic country and I have been trying to think of where to take this. I have my website and do markets but feel there is something else. Love it! You are amazing! Thank you! 😊
Hi Erica thank you so much for being such an inspiration sharing all of your knowledge and encouraging all of us I have been putting this off for over a year and it finally decided to actually try it and I am binging all of your videos
First hi 👋 nice to meet you girl, thank you so much for all your advice as well so helpful, I start my candle business here in New York thanks 🙏 to you however, I had been struggling a little due to I sell only online, I didn’t know I was making a big mistake no going outside and talk about it PS: I am an introvert, I get so nervous 😩 when I have to talk to people and offer my products. Anyways thank you thank you 😊 this video was so helpful God bless you and your business forever
Hi Erica! I was wondering what your opinion was on making candles and not having lids? What are the pros and cons to it? If you notice this, thank you sooo much!!
Hi Erica, I love your videos you are very inspiring. I been following you for a while trying to learn how to make candles to sale I am in wedding business looking in to adding candles I will love to work with you as my coach.
Hi Erica, About wholesale, where do I start looking for stores that taking wholesale product? How do I know which store is taking wholesale? Please advise. Thank you!
Great video! You gave me some new ideas as well! Thank you! I do talk about pricing in my UA-cam video if that would help anyone inspired my all of Erica’s great information.
Hello Erica, You come up with the same ideas, as I learned 40 Years ago, and they are still doing well. The only problem is time! you have to engage someone to help you, else you will have a burnout instead of enlarging your business. If you do not have a person with experience nearby you, get a coach.
I don’t personally ❤️ I actually should probably include a care card in there but I just include the purchase order form with a little hand written thank you note!
I actually don’t offer this at the moment, however I’m sure there’s tons of other candle makers who can! You can find them in the Facebook group DIY candle making beginner to advanced

About wholesale, where do I start looking for stores that taking wholesale product? How do I know which store is taking wholesale? Please advise.
Thank you!
What are some companies that will buy your product to do private labeling
Hi Erica I am in the process of starting a candle business how can I get insurance for selling my candles. Thanks
I personally have liberty mutual business insurance, you can call them and see if they will insure your business in the area you live in
Could you please give some wholesale information .
My coworker just asked me this morning if I can make one that smells like fuel! Where in the heck did you find that scent? Thanks for the video!

I THINK that’s where I purchased mine from, it was a long time ago! Haha
Great video! You gave me some new ideas as well! Thank you! I do talk about pricing in my UA-cam video if that would help anyone inspired my all of Erica’s great information.

Oh yes I definitely agree. I always have SOO many ideas and it’s hard to execute them all by yourself!
Hi Erica! For wholesale do you include any extra supplies like care cards, boxes, etc?
I don’t personally ❤️ I actually should probably include a care card in there but I just include the purchase order form with a little hand written thank you note!
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo thank you so much!
Can you do a video about paying taxes for this type of business?
If i don't have permit or license Where to sell it

I would like you to make the candles for me, what is the minimum.
