You have no idea how much I appreciate your videos! I am on my own journey opening a candle shop in my town of Arnold, Missouri, and I've gotta say you have helped me SO much. Going into business for yourself is scary and your videos provide much-needed help. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! Congratulations on your store it looks so inviting and you have the most unique candles, I love them!
Good luck sis. 👍🏿
This has been a very wonderful insightful thank you for doing this I took so many notes and thank the Lord for video transaction 🙏.. thank you so much and you are so right Ida business years ago I had 15 points and for that particular situation it was easy to train but to learn yourself to build proper candle and then now you're going to train somebody I can see you got to have the right person...
Tiana you are a Godsend! Seriously I thank God for you! You are helping so many of us! Thank you!
Great info, thanks for sharing. I like the longer style videos. 😊

Shiny object syndrome. LOL...this is SO me!!!! I can totally relate to this, thanks for your awesome advice!

Thank you 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
❤ love it
Thank you for the info. I was wondering do I need both or just product liability?
I also make Lil cards to trim their wicks it's even on the warning label......
Yes! So many people don’t flip the candle over so the extra cards help them a ton.
Hi Tiana do you have candle 🕯️ molds for sale ? Dessert candles molds. And if so how much do you sell them for ? Wax holds better essential oil scented ? I don't know the difference between the paraffin wax or the soy wax but which one of them holds both color and the central oil sense can you please explain which one you think is better to hold the color and the stronger scent oil .
I never knew you have to trim your wick
So if you have orders but you don't have any candles left do you not go by the 2-week rule of curing your candle?? like is one week okay????
Thank you. I am a beginner candle maker. I am from Deyroit, MI (motor city = winter Wonder land) I am going to take my time with this candle venture. I am interested in LUXE candle making.....Vera
Love your videos… where is a good candle fragrance supplier that you recommend?
Candlescience is always great but try to see if you have any local suppliers to save on shipping costs.
@@TianaCoats thank you 🙏
Aww when are you opening enrollment back up for the course ?
On Instagram I announced that I am writing my first book so that threw off Candle Biz Academy plans a bit. I’m hoping to relaunch the course early next year.
@@TianaCoats Awww okay congrats 🍾 thank you so much
So if you know the customers don’t trim the wick what’s the reason you don’t trim them before selling them? #newtocandlebusiness
I do trim them very low before selling just for that reason. They need to also be trimmed after every burn.
My concern would be trademarking a candle name Someone eating/drinking the candle wax and getting a custom jar made.
I wish my skin was like hers. Maybe she need to do something on her skin care Routine
So funny you say that because my skin went crazy as soon as I turned 30, and I had to see a dermatologist. It just started clearing up a few months ago and I’m 32 lol. I use cetaphil a topical medication from curology, and sunscreen.
@@TianaCoats wow I really didn’t expect to get a reply back. I so happy you did. Thank you for the information I will try some of those things you mentioned. Keep up your skin care routine i your skin looks great! Also this is a great video. It’s so much I need to learn. I would love to start a candle Business, but I’m afraid I would not be able to keep it up and running. When will your next Business classes start?
Enjoy the rest of your day and have
A wonderful Christmas 🎄
Glad not the only one that was pleasantly distracted by this. I was like wick safety ✔, insurance✔...ooouuhhh silky smooth skin-so pretty. How can I get That? Loll
is it okay to sell without product liability insurance until i can get more funds from the business to fund it?
That is very risky because if you get sued then you would be responsible for all the costs. It is best to protect yourself because there are too many people out there that don't burn candles properly. In the beginning I had a side hustle to support my business. I would do grocery delivery or sell things online to get more funding.
biz kween!
I have a question, this girl I know bought 2 candles and she hasnt paid yet lol and wants to return 1 that she lit already ?
I know where she works I'm not worried about payment, I want to know your take on a candle someone lit and didnt like and wants to return lol
I have had this happen a few times before. It doesn’t happen often so I do offer their money back just to keep the customer happy. Maybe take notes on why she didn’t like it to prevent any future returns.
Did you have insurance from the beginning?
When I started in 2015 there wasn’t much info online about having a candle business. I didn’t have insurance for the first year because I didn’t know better, but I would encourage getting it as soon as you begin selling. Make sure it’s product liability insurance.
@@TianaCoats I’m hearing so many mixed reviews. Thank you for your response. One more question the first year is it fine to place the warning labels only? I’m nervous about the price of insurance
From what I know, If someone sues you for some unfortunate event, your Insurance company first has to find that you were negligent and some insurance companies will not insure you if you buy supplies from China.
Yahweh love you
I follow you but I am hearing impaired so the Closed Captioning is important and it isn't available for this video
Hello, RUclips usually auto generates the captions so I am not sure why it didn't show up for this video. I have sent the video to a transcription service, and they will caption the video. It usually takes them a day to upload the captions. Thank you for letting me know.
Lonestar is better
