    Thanks so much for this useful video :) ive seen online thay you need to register with local authority to trade - is this right? I have signed up to sell at my work in December and realised there are some things to do before then. Are there any specific things that need to be included on the label?

    • @WILDRACECO
      @WILDRACECO 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Depends what country you are in. In the UK you need to register as self employed or business when trading profit over £1000 in a year. You’ll need CLP labels on the bottom of the candle too - legal requirement including allergen info xx

      @WILDRACECO thank you! I'm based in the UK. I got a bit confused as it said I needed to register with local authority as well as register as self employed, but can only find a form to fill out for selling food 😅 I don't think I'll make £1000 this tax year year, so will leave that part for now. But thanks for the info on allergens! How do you display them - on your box or website? Sorry for all the questions, feels a bit like a minefield but your video already helped with lots of qs

    • @WILDRACECO
      @WILDRACECO 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ No worries at all! CLP must be displayed on the bottom of the candle, and should be accessible basically at ‘point of sale’. Should be displayed on website if possible but I know most people don’t as it’s quite hard to display xx

You're not in the slightest bit boring, I found you refreshingly real and funny. I run a small business from home and can fully relate to and enjoy the ramblings so please don't hold back the weird! I wouldn't stress about putting extra work on yourself to film personal life content, you're still recovering and teetering on the mental time of year but whatever you put out there, I've subbed and looking forward to the next one ☺

    Keep up with the vlogs and business tip vids! I think you hit the perfect balance as it’s nice to have another creative share the behind the scenes and the thought process behind what you do and create. It’s also very realistic that things don’t always go smoothly and to plan so I think it’s great how honest and open you are as that’s far more relatable to watch! The business tip videos are always very informative too! I think another good video to do soon would be a Q&A video, as you’ve built a bigger audience now than when you first started! Keep it up - you’re great! ⭐️

    I think you strike such a great balance with your content, showing us the highs and lows of owning a candle business and your mindset and thinking behind things. I love seeing how it impacts your whole life because it’s realistic for those of us who want to start a candle business. It’s nice to have it in a relax vlog style too as it makes for cosy viewing rather than a sit down video where it can sometimes be information overload! I would say keep on doing what you’re doing and just refine your craft of making videos along the way, as you’ve done with candle-making. ❤

      @WILDRACECO You’re welcome ❤️ Yes, I think it’s good to show the reality of it because those of us who want to start our own candle business will need to embrace it (warts and all!) I am also a video and podcast editor by profession, and I can completely relate to listening to yourself back. I host the podcast I edit in my day job, and often feel the same when hearing myself back. I have learned that we are our own worst critic though. It’s taken me years in my profession to try and filter out my inner critic and negative self talk. I would just say to keep on going and being yourself and you will naturally find your feet with vlogging and learn what you think works and doesn’t along the way. Hope this helps in some way xx

    You are not boring at all, you are a calm person and, believe me, many people (me included) like it. Your videos are quite comforting and I also learn new useful things from you as I'm also making candles. I have a lifestyle brand dedicated to Italy that has different things from apparel to accessories and now scented candles. I added the candles to my brand just this year in April and I'm still learning a lot from TH-cam. I like that you talk in your videos about how your brand grew in the last year and how things changed, how now you need even more supplies, etc. It gives me hope that after some time and hard work I will also be in this position. I like your videos and I watch every new video when it comes out. I live in Italy, not in UK but still find what you are telling useful. Keep up with your great work and don't give up on TH-cam. It requires a lot of patience and sometimes you can doubt yourself if you don't get much feedback from your audience bit still it worths it! Good luck with everything you do.

      @@lukewingedgamer1591 Thank you, Surgery was a success! Urm, no I get most by contacting shops myself or them contacting me and then maybe 20% from Faire. Faire is very hit and miss, some months I get quite a few newbies, then I can go 4-5 months with nothing. One tactic is following and interacting with the shops you want to be stocked in on their social media x

Another question if you don’t mind, im looking at getting a stall at a couple markets, how do you find them, there so many and no way to know which ones are hit or miss

      @ Thanks Luke! So there’s no way of 100% knowing really which markets are good and bad. I took a year just saying yes to every single one I could find and then if it was rubbish I didn’t repeat that particular one. For finding them, word of mouth, instagram, facebook groups. Or look up Christmas markets in your area on google then find a contact number or email to ask for a stall. X

      It’s definitely a busy time to begin so leaving them if you’re a newbie till the new year would be better for experience.

    Love this! I hope I can try Christmas markets in 2025 once I’ve finished the testing phase and started selling online. I bet they help to get you in the festive spirit. 😊 I love how fast you’re talking here, as you’re clearly so passionate about what you do. 🥰 Quick question: When selling at markets do you wrap the candles before popping them in the bags? Or is it easier just to place them in as they come?

I’ve spent months trying to nail a certain fragrance yet I made just 3 candles of another scent last week and I think I’m happy to pass that one. So funny how it goes!

    I have started my candle business 2yrs ago I have gotten to the point where I want to give up I lost the plot when I wasn’t paying the attention to rising cost and realise I was spending more than I was making. I have spent so much money on designers and website that I went big before I even started small. With etch glasses that was really expensive. I’m giving it one more try so I’m going to rebrand starting simple choosing more unique scents etc packaging and like u said in your video until I’m selling massive amount I can’t afford to outsource I’m going to have to learn to do things myself. This video is very informative

    Hi, so glad your feeling better after your surgery. I was just wondering how CPL labels work when selling on Amazon. Would you have to use one specific to each scent or can you just use a candle safety label ? Good luck with your Christmas market.
