LANHAM, MD (PRWEB) July 19,
2004 - Scented candles are one of the most popular gift
items people buy for themselves and for others on special
occasions. Almost everyone enjoys the glow of candlelight
and the smell of the fragrance burning in their home.
Candles are a consumable product and a fundraiser that you
can do often as your financial need arises. Oh These
Candles are made with soy wax, which burns for a longer
period of time, and is environmentally friendly. That is
why selling soy candles from Oh These Candles, is the
perfect fundraising solution. There are no upfront costs
and no need to stock the candles, because the candles are
made based on the orders.
Soy
candles are gaining in popularity, because
they do not depend on oil as do parrafin
wax candles. Instead they use soybeans and
so are a renewable resource. Soy is
biodegradable, and so should you spill any
of the candle it will clean up quickly with
soap and water. You might

Selling soy candles from Oh
These Candles will allow organizations, schools, and
individuals to make money upfront, earning 30-50% in total
sales. The fundraiser can be done traditionally, online, or
both with flexible timeframes.
Traditional
Fundraiser
A traditional fundraiser is a
fundraiser conducted through the use of brochures. The
members/participants will take orders and collect the
money. The leader will tally the orders, count the money
and take the profit off the top. Using this method, Oh
These Candles will provide brochures/order forms, a sample
sales presentation, money collection envelopes, and
receipts for customers.
Online
Fundraiser
An online fundraiser is a
fundraiser conducted on the website of Oh These Candles. Oh
These Candles will devote a section of its website to the
organization and customers can come and order candles.
Candles will be shipped upon receipt of order and the
organizations profits will be computed and mailed according
to an agreed upon timetable. This method eliminates the
time and effort organizations need to devote to: tallying
orders, counting of money, settling accounts, the potential
for bounced checks, the potential for missed delivery to
customers, and the need for parents and/or others to be
involved in the pickup and delivery of the
products.
Flexible
Timeframes
Flexible timeframes allows
organizations to sell candles without a preset timeframe
(i.e., 1 month, 3 weeks) and keep turning over profit.
Organizations agree on a time interval and candles will be
made, sorted, and shipped while the organization continues
its sales.
Oh These Candles currently
offers soy candles in 3 sizes: 7 ounce travel tin, 9 ounce
jelly jar, and 16 ounce dodecagon jar. The candles are
