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.
