I got into candle making beginning of 2021. It was fun and I absolutely loved it. Along the way I lost the passion and ended up learning graphic designs and video editing. Now beginning of 2022, I am designing marketing materials for business and promoting their products lol. Funny how things turns out in one year.
Thank you for these tips and for the Avery Label information. I was planning to use our cricut for the labeling, but nylon vs sticker paper.. way more eco friendly and efficient.
Thank you Michelle for this video! I am hoping to start my candle business this year. Your tips are definitely helpful. Especially since i have much to learn on the business side of things. I love watching all of y'alls videos. Thank you!
Didn’t know you had a yt channel until today! I’ve always wanted to ask on how you deal with tin rusting? the tins in my candle collection always rusts and I am not getting most out of the candle I bought if I don’t burn them right away. Have you had any concerns with rusting with your customers?
Thank you so much for this information. It was definitely helpful. I'm on the right track and almost there. I THANK YOU THE MOST for your pitcher decision. I thought I was crazy for wanting to have a pouring pitcher for every scent 🤭
No way! We thought this was the best idea as it separates everything. We have 15 pitchers that we use for our signature scents, but when we change it up we just make sure all the wax is gone and the pitcher is like new. So easy!
Thank you so much for this information! I would like to start a candle business with my granddaughter Cloe, hoping she we want to take it over someday! May God Bless you and sent.
Hi Michelle, thank you for the video, it has been really helpful especially for someone just starting making candles ( before launching) just wondering do you have any advise on insurance? Is it ok for you to share the links for your logo stamps,online label company, packing material and other useful suppliers that you are currently using? Will you recommend shopify or square space or? Thanks for your useful tips.
We use Shopify for our website as it seems more suited for online stores (although we switched about 4 years ago so things may have changed) square is definitely great if you’re doing markets so if you want continuity then that’s worth considering.
Awesome content! I'm a small candle business owner from Singapore and it's almost impossible to get 6 figures in 4 months. Do you get most of your sales through organic search or through social media? Thanks!
Hi there I am new to your channel I am also new to candlemaking I have not made any candles as of yet I’m trying to get some supplies put together so I’m ordering online I have a question how long did it take you before you made or almost made six figures how long have you been doing candlemaking and who is your target audience? Thank you for the tips they are very helpful as of now I am watching TH-cam videos on candlemaking and picking up a lot from each video thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing these tips! I just found the channel and binge watched all of your videos:) very excited to follow your journey. Would you mind sharing some tips for building an audience before launch? You mentioned PR boxes previously, I was curious if those were a major contributor to your launch success, or was it mostly from your social media presence?
For sure! We can definitely do a video on what to do before launch, a lot of it was building our relationships and working on social media - but we can do a more in depth video explaining what we did :)
We plan what overall scents we want to introduce each collection and then work backwards from there to determine specific scent notes and how we can mix it. It takes a few tries to get the formula right!
Hi im currently planning for my small businesses for candles, but i got disheartened, i was planning to put the candles on a tin too, but i read so much that it really gets hot. Does that happen to yours?. I was planning not to get insurance yet thats y i got disheartened
We are only currently doing organic marketing! Just socials, word of mouth and working with influencers to send them product. We also moved into a new space and connected with other like minded brands to share contacts and information :) That’s all we’ve done so far!
hey, thanks so much for sharing. Im from NZ and it can sometimes be tricky to find tips relating to this end of the globe such as the labels, wax melters etc. Im curious about whether printing own lables versus outsourcing ...which is most cost/time effective? Also which wax melter do you guys use? thanks again x
Thank you! We use a wax melter from luxury candle supplies. Also with labels I think getting them printed would be more time efficient, however cost wise, we found printing ourselves were cheaper :) hope that helps!
Hi lovely! I would love to know what printer you use when printing your Avery labels? I currently get all of my labels printed by a commercial label printer but this is VERY expensive!!!
Hi! We use a canon mega tank, would highly recommend! It’s so efficient with ink and prints well. We looked into printing from a company as well and it was just too expensive
@@sent.studio I'm so sorry to harp on this but do you have the exact model by any chance? I'm needing a reliable one to print my labels but unfortunately it's so risky with printers!
Hello Joanne and Michelle I am in Canada and would you please tell me who is a Reliable Supplier of Tin Cans..I felt for you losing over 300 tins from that order ....your Marketing is TOP....the best I have seen in a Candle Maker
Hi! Thank you. We tested multiple suppliers until we found the one. Get samples and test them for your products. We can’t disclose our suppliers but we have both a local and overseas supplier.
@@sent.studio Oh I am a bit surprised since you showed in your video the big loss.. the tin containers are sold by various suppliers on Alibaba and I was asking for the name of the Supplier that doesn't damage the containers to save myself the same experience you went through...here in USA and Canada us Candlemakers share our successes and failures.. we try to help each other...I do recall another Australia Candle and Soap Seller's comment that she was shocked when she first began how some Makers are very Secretive.
All this sounds so easy. I find it hard to do, especially when you work fulltime. And not having the money to do the website. I mostly have friends, coworkers that buy candles from me. They love it !!! I'm trying to see how I can balance both. Anybody have any suggestions...
Stumbled upon your video while I was doing research to start my candle business but I'm doing it from Beijing. Have an idea, if your interested I could help you source & import your materials from China to improve your margins.
If you start with a big capita you can make a millions in 1 month it all depends how much your daddy or mummy gave you money …or a bank loan . Well done to you
sent is a play on the word ‘scent’, and we also wanted our customers to attach meaning to the definition of ‘sent’, being taken to a particular destination. Sent back to their memories, sent to, sent from, sent for, etc :)

I don't make candles but I use labels for my products. May I ask, What company do you use for labels?
We design and print our own labels
Liked & subscribed. Congratulations on your success. Starting my candle business. Great tips. Thanks a lot 🤍

May I know what kinda of customers do you have? Do you sell to a business or personals?
Hello,
How do you create the personal name stickers for packing?
We designed it on illustrator and printed on sticker paper
@@sent.studio hi obviously you find the paper sticker adheres well to the tin lid? i am wanting to use the same things
Hey I was just wondering how do you figure out unique scents? Or experiment with particular ones you want to put into the candles?
We plan what overall scents we want to introduce each collection and then work backwards from there to determine specific scent notes and how we can mix it. It takes a few tries to get the formula right!
Great video very useful tips! Can I ask how much you have priced your candles? Do you have an online store?
We are only online at the moment, and our candles are priced at 45 aud :)
TY YES IT HELPS ALOT GOD BLESS
Yay! I’m so glad
Hi im currently planning for my small businesses for candles, but i got disheartened, i was planning to put the candles on a tin too, but i read so much that it really gets hot. Does that happen to yours?. I was planning not to get insurance yet thats y i got disheartened
Hi! Love your brand! Where do you get the personalised cotton bags from?
We buy unbranded linen bags and stamp them ourselves! :)
Where do you get the 'scent' for all your candles?
What about marketing? How did you market your business after all was said and done?
We are only currently doing organic marketing! Just socials, word of mouth and working with influencers to send them product. We also moved into a new space and connected with other like minded brands to share contacts and information :) That’s all we’ve done so far!
Thank you so much for this!

You guys print your own labels? Onto the Avery labels? Or order from them
We printed our own!

What size Avery labels do you use :)
Where and how do i make a mail list?
Hi what’s the best email marketing you use ?
Hi we use mailchimp! But there are others you can also try
@@sent.studio thank you !
All this sounds so easy. I find it hard to do, especially when you work fulltime. And not having the money to do the website. I mostly have friends, coworkers that buy candles from me. They love it !!! I'm trying to see how I can balance both. Anybody have any suggestions...
@Bunny Lomax ty
What’s the difference from sourcing it from alibaba? Anyone had by experience to share?
Thank you! 💙
Did you get Barcode?
Thank you so much!
AWESOME THANK U
Do you use a marketing agency or do you market Everything yourself?
We market everything ourselves currently
Hi Michelle can you please direct us where to get the tin can you are using? Thank you
Hi, sorry we’re unable to disclose supplier information but your can search for tin can manufacturers on Google which helped us 😊
Stumbled upon your video while I was doing research to start my candle business but I'm doing it from Beijing. Have an idea, if your interested I could help you source & import your materials from China to improve your margins.
If you start with a big capita you can make a millions in 1 month it all depends how much your daddy or mummy gave you money …or a bank loan . Well done to you
Where do you get the silver candle containers
Sorry we can’t disclose our suppliers however we researched metal tin cans on Google 😊
Thank you🙏🏽
hi there what website do you use to sell your products?
We use woocommerce on Wordpress
@@sent.studio thank you!
Thank you
Do you design emails on your own or have hired someone?
We design our own emails on mailchimp :)

We got someone from upwork to help us 🤗
Congrats
Thanks!!
Can you do a video on photoshoots
Yes! That’s on our list 🤗
I enjoyed your video. You're tin vessels are interesting. Where are they from?
Thank you! We have a supplier in Australia and overseas 😊
how u market
💯❤️📹🤗🙏🏾✨
Way too many candle makers now...not money.....look at Etsy..
Definitely is but I always think there’s enough room for creativity or a point of difference 🤗
Is the "sent" purposely done or you just dont know how to spell scent? Curious
sent is a play on the word ‘scent’, and we also wanted our customers to attach meaning to the definition of ‘sent’, being taken to a particular destination. Sent back to their memories, sent to, sent from, sent for, etc :)
Can I please ask which printer you use? @sentstudio
New sub!! New YTber!! Hiiii
Very helpful! Thank you ☺️
