Candle Business

HI, have you started your business already?

It is over 6 months now. Have you started the business. How is it going. I have started my response here, just to record the topic for my further reference and future contacts. Thankyou for starting an enthusiastic product. Candles. Which is almost an F.M.C.G. a fast moving consumer goods. With the impending power outages, and all.

I was once in the candle business. I first took formal lessons in candle making at a technical school in our place. I also bought several books about candle making to supplement my studies. Since it's just a personal thing turned business, I do everything myself with the aid of my helper. I deliver my candles to several shops. I got busy and I stopped making candles because I couldn't handle it anymore. I still make candles if I have time and give them as gifts to my friends and relatives.

someone on my myspace list started her candle business...she is marketing it on the web on websites and myspace. i met another girl who is selling her candles in swap meets and flea markets as a street vendor with her brochures and business cards.

Well my dad just figured it out. He gets wax from the church, the left ones. then bottles from the cementary. So its recycling thingy. Then he buys the wick, he heats the wax then put scent and color, then pour it in the bottle and put the wick while the wax is still hot and hold it through chopsticks. just like that
