Having a Home Based Candle Business

A home based candle business.  Maybe it's something you've been considering a long time.  Maybe it's something you've never thought about.  Maybe you've been looking for a home business and have stumbled on this site.

Some questions for you; do you ever find yourself in the following situations?

• Get frustrated with your 9-to-5 (actually, more like 8-to-6) job?  You're stressed every day, but you know that if you change jobs, it will be more of the same.  So you stay where you are and get a little more tired every day.
• Wish you could be home with your children, and not let those precious "firsts" be with a babysitter or a daycare center?
• Need more income to handle the outgo.  Prices seem to rise every day, but your job doesn't seem to keep up with inflation.  And gas prices these days are getting scary!
• Worry about losing your job?  You may be frustrated with it, but another that matches your current income might not be easy to find where you live.
• Worry about retiring?  You know that Social Security won't cover all your bills, and that you need something to bridge the gap.
• Lie awake at night worrying about one or more of the above?
• Want a better life, for yourself and your family?  To be your own boss and pretty much make your own hours, so you can be present for all those special occasions?

With all this going on, maybe you light scented candles when you get home, to relax and de-stress.  If you do (or actually, even if you don't), the home based candle business is something you may want to consider.

Making Money With Candles - Retail

You may be wondering exactly how you can make money with a candle home business.  Is it just selling candles to friends, neighbors and co-workers?

Yes and no.

Yes, because if that's what you want to do (retail candles) it can be a very lucrative career.  You can make a very good commission for each candle sold. Do you know many people who don't love richly scented candles, even if they don't always burn them regularly?

Candle Fundraising

These days, it seems that nearly every school, church, charity or other worthy organization needs to raise more money for operating costs or expansion.  So they hold fundraisers to bring in some dollars -- sometimes once a year, sometimes more often.

You can help these organizations bring in needed dollars, while they also provide you with an income for your candle business.  While you might not make much on a per-candle basis (the organization gets the lion's share), it makes up for it in quantity.

Building a Home Based Candle Organization

The third way you can choose to make money with a home based candle business is to build your own organization.  You can create a substantial income by making a tiny bit of commission on every sale each person in your organization makes.

In a way, it's like a type of fundraising.  You make money on candles that you didn't directly sell.   Instead, someone else in your organization sold them (via retail sales or fundraising).

Combine Them If You Like

There's no rule that says you can only have one type of income.  You can combine two or even all three ways, and create more than one stream of income.  Not to mention creating more money for you.

But if you want to concentrate on only one of the above, that's OK too.  The point is that you are the boss and you can run your candle home business how it best suits you.

The Market for Candles is Bright

When the big manufacturers, like Glade, get involved in selling aromatherapy candles, you know the market for candles is bright!

According to the National Candle Association the candle business is a 2 billion dollar industry.  Candles are growing in popularity for aromatherapy, decoration and just simply enjoying their fragrance.

If you've ever wandered around a store sniffing candles, you know that a highly scented candle with a wonderful and long-lasting fragrance is a great find.   And at the same time, hard to find.  That's where you can bridge the gap.
