The Soy
Candle Business Opportunity is selling itself and making
profits for its business owners
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 8o% 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 cant 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.
If
you have children, then you already know that
funds are always in short supply for all of
their activities, from school, to sports, to
ballet. Now since candles are used by so many
people, and more often than before, and they
are often given as gifts, this would seem to
be an excellent idea to use as a fundraiser.,
especially around the Christmas
season . Remember, too that they
are useful to have around
for emergencies, just in case the lights
go
out . ~
