I have been able to find FO for under $1 oz from a few different sites. Since I started buying in larger quantities, the price went down a lot. I was paying about $2.50/oz for my wax melts before then. Still in aw over the .70 though lol

I would say build a basic website then. If your selling a lot, I would recommend Shopify, but there are a few options like Big Cartel that are cheaper and work just as well (Or if your web-savvy there is always WordPress). That way, you have a place to send people that looks professional. You...

Hello! It's me again with another awesome question about selling wax melts. A few people have asked me now to ship to Canada and the UK. I know that as a US seller, I would still have to have compliant labels (and registration?) to ship to the UK, so that's out. I can't seem to find...

For my wax, I used polypropylene bags. For soaps, I used shrink wrap, but I think I wound up throwing away more wrap than I used lol

I tried the marketplace and it was just OK. I think I got one sale from it in about a year, but the person was already following me on social media. I sell wax melts mostly, and Facebook groups are where its at. Its better to start your own group for your brand and then get involved in other...

The price sounds about right for a hobbyist. Unless you are buying supplies in bulk, then it gets much cheaper. Also, .70 a bar is amazing!

Is it better to create an ethics policy for a small business? I would be HORRIFIED if my products were tested on animals. I'm personally a vegetarian. I do my due diligence as much as one possibly can at this level (For example, I don't visit the farms that harvest the soy beans I use in my wax...

You can try getting small cold packs to put in the packages too

Does your business claim any of these things? I do not have these statements because it seems "weird" to me since I don't grow my own soy beans or have complete control over my supply chain (I don't make fragrance oils, for example, I buy them from crafting websites). I work hard to make sure...

I would like one eventually

I have not had an issue with my recent products nor my friends.

I just got a shipment of PoB in last week and haven't noticed an issue but the wax seems "fluffier". I have a few things curing, so I can throw something on the melter in a day or so and compare. My friend started wax melts and got some PoB a month ago, she sent me a few samples, they seem to...

I third finding out what is in the wax melts first. Wax melts arn't always made with wicks in mind - glitter and mica, for example, don't always work well in candle form.

I think I am going to hold on to mine a bit longer (like 6 months ish), so I can find a name that suits wax/soap/bath. I currently can't do bath products, but Im hoping I can get the ball rolling on that sometime next year - expanding may be the best way to introduce a new name/rebrand without...

Aztec just posted 50% off micas. I use very small amounts of mica, so 1 oz lasts me forever.... now I have 2 oz of Iridescent red headed my way and I am THRILLED!

I love my logo. I think it matches my style but who knows. I still have to think of a new concept that still matches my brand, but has a completely different name lol

That would be my biggest concern. Maybe keep the logo?

I think my current customers are ok with the name (most buy more than once), but I dont think the name would do well for anything other than home fragrance. It's also not a "politically correct" name, so while it wont cause issues now, it could limit growth later on. (EDIT: The name isn't too...

I'm just curious and exploring possibilities. My market has been primarily online, but I think my current name may be limiting me. I love the niche audience I have, but I think I'd be more successful with a more generic name. Has anyone else been through the rebranding process? Aside from the...

My percentage tends to fall between 8 and 10, with some customs going slightly over and palm wax going slightly under. I'm thinking I may need to do a name change to tap into a wider market since my audience is specialized and growth is just ok. Thats crazy for the scent suppliers. A $3...
