Soy Wax Candle Business
Start a Soy Candle Business for Fun
& Profit
By Randy Wilson
If you love candles, and spend money on them constantly, maybe you
should consider getting a soy candle business of your own. These
candles tend to sell themselves. More than 80% of homes in the United
States burn candles on a regular basis, and you probably know people
who fit this category. This is a lucrative business that is easy to
start.
Most of the soy candle business opportunity companies are Multi Level
Marketing companies. This means that not only do you make money selling
soy candles, but you also make money helping others learn to sell
candles. This is truly a win-win situation for all involved. You can
work this business as little or as much as you want.
The first thing you want to do is research some of the companies that
offer independent ownership within their company. A soy candle business
opportunity can cost as little as $40 and can go well over $500,
depending on the company your decide to go with, and on the packages
they offer to start your business.
Many of these companies offer up to 50% commission on each sale.
However, some require you to purchase a minimum amount each month,
while others let your order when you need them and have no buying
requirements. Find the companies you are comfortable with and then look
at other things in the company.
You will probably want to work with a company that will help your soy
candle business grow with residual income as well. If you think that
you can’t talk someone into becoming a distributor, you will
be surprised how often people will come to you and ask about how to get
into the business. This will come to you easily, and will create an
income that is handed to you just by helping the other person build a
successful soy candle business.
You will also want to consider whether you want to hold inventory or
order as needed. Seek out soy candle business opportunity companies
that offer the option you are comfortable with. If you have lots of
space, you may consider having inventory on hand, but if you life in a
studio apartment that may not be an option.
Once you have decided on a company and found a sponsor, this person
should help you get comfortable with the products and guide you through
the first several sales of your candle business. Their helping you will
benefit them as will your success. Therefore, it is best to find a
sponsor that is close to your location.
Now you need to think of ways to sell your soy candles. Get a few extra
for the purpose of showing people the variety of products you sell at
home parties. This will help you sell your candles and any other
products you may sell.
You may want to purchase a party game book, like the ones for baby
showers. This will give you ways to show your soy candle products and
make it fun for the attendees at the same time. Purchase a few extra
candles, such as the scent of the month or special of the month and
give these as prizes. This will excite your customers and produce
sales.
You can also use the candles as fund-raisers. Knowing that so many
people purchase candles for themselves and for gifts, this will ensure
sales. If it is also for a good cause, your soy candle business builds
credibility within your community.
The hardest part of this job is getting started. Ask family and friends
to help you by having home parties. Many will help you to succeed if
they know you are really serious about making this business opportunity
work. They will be your first line of advertising.
Subscribe to newsletters and periodicals in the industry. Participate
in seminars, conventions, conference calls and any other type of
training and updates the parent company offers. This will keep you
abreast of new products and new trends in the soy candle industry.
It is also important to remember to have fun. As long as you are having
fun, your sales will soar, and you and your family will reap the
rewards of your successful soy candle business.
