I just bought like 20 candles from these girls. Anytime I see entrepreneurs sacrificing and overcoming natural adversities in business, I have to support.
Thanks so much for the feature! We're celebrating 10 years this year. So happy to have such amazing customers and hopefully to get some new ones with this video. Truly grateful thank you
The importance of collecting emails for your business can't be stressed enough. Jen's experience with emails and newsletters highlights how valuable customer engagement is. 📧💼
I hate to be a negative nelly but when people say that they started with $100, it would be nice to know exactly what you started with in terms of equipment and supplies, marketing, ect. I hughly doubt they got a candle melter for less than $100... We need the interview to ask more in depth details that people who are trying to startup their candle business to be inspired and not feel like giving up because they don't have a realistic example of how to start with $100.
Hi I started my business about three years ago I started out with the candle kit from Amazon two pots and fragrance I also purchase about 28 Oz tins, color for candles and labels from Avery. That was around $100
They call it do your own research, these RUclips video are very helpful they give us hope & direction but we still have to do our research so we know What we really getting into 👍. Jar can be bought in bulk size, logos can be found at staples or order online, fragrances up to you, bee wax in bulk, the rest can be found on Amazon or online. Planning on starting mine this fall wish mw well 🙏🏼
With $100 you can definitely get the supplies you need for a small batch. A melting pot/carafe, a pair of scissors, a case or 2 of jars, a few pounds of soy wax & a lb of fragrance would definitely be less than $100. The farmer's market may or may not have a vendor's fee depending on the venue.
I hope these video inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs. Sure it's not gonna be easy starting out but never lose sight of your goal the hard work will eventually pay off!
Amazing business! And because of the food poisoning the sisters saw the bright side and worked together! Great advise on trying pop up stores to get an understanding of clients before going online. Everyone talks about shopify etc but I now understand that there are cheaper ways of being online. Thank you for this video!
i wanna start my own candle business too and just like them im starting from scratch and with barely any money on me, i attended a workshop today and it made me feel so excited for this journey ahead, their story is inspiring

I think around that time $100 took you further ...now a days a good solid start up for me was $300-350 and thats for everything to make 38 candles in total.. i was able to flip that and make my money back and SOME it was awesome and i put all that back to get more supplies then last time and just did it all over again until i was making profit .. and this is just wholesale and pop events i havent launch my website yet!
@@UpFlip That’s a good question. At one time I wanted to open my own balloon business for specialty balloons. Big balloons. 3’ 5’ 10’ balloons. You couldn’t find them easily so I thought it would be cool. Have my own little warehouse. 😄
Jennifer, your journey from $100 to a $500,000 annual business is truly impressive. Your ability to pivot and respond to customer needs is remarkable. Can you share the most surprising fragrance request from a customer that led to a successful product addition?
Being at the market makes it so that we’re customer facing and get to hear a lot of feedback about our scents. The most successful addition to our line was the scent “Everything.” it’s literally a mix of our top five best selling sense. We made it because a lot of customers would walk up to our booth and say they like the smell and wanted to buy the smell that they were smelling when they walk through the market… we would have to inform them that it was a combination of all of the scents and that they would have to buy multiple candles in order to create that scent. We got that comment so many times over the years that we finally created “Everything”
This video is quite encouraging, though any business venture carries risks, and not all businesses will achieve the same level of success. It's important to be prepared for challenges and setbacks. It typically requires hard work, dedication, a sound business strategy, and a keen understanding of the market and customer needs.

I see comments about scented candles being toxic. Pretty sure the person who writes that smokes a vape, eat processed food, buy plastic wrapped food from traders joe but uses a paper bag to bring them home lol
Is it really sustainable though? A lot of businesses can have great revenue for a while and when you become just another candle brand out of the millions out there the business becomes "stuck". Especially now that the post pandemic/side gig economy is thriving everyone seems to have a candle brand! I started mine 4 years ago but once the pandemic hit, everybody and their grandmas started to make candles and sell them. I think it's important that people that are new and starting in their entrepreneurial journey to find something that is special to them and something uniquely different and THEIRS. People watch a few RUclips videos on people making solid returns on candles, shirts, Etsy stores, etc and just all start to attempt to do the same thing JUST to make extra side income. Find something special to your own selves instead of following what other people HAPPENED to thrive in their own sector/ idea/ products.
Agree with that because everything is saturated now and not only candle businesses almost every business that starter during pandemic is over saturated. But I am breaking my mind thinking what can be done something new or upgraded or something different from others because every where you look at is already there.
I want to start a candle business but I don't like a lot of smells and before I scrap the idea will i be inundated with a bunch of smells? Please tell me I can control it.
Sincerely 100$ don’t know what supplies they buy with that money. In my own experience checking prices for diy candles it can be more than 200$ and fir sealing have to have a permits it cost some more money any way is ok to say how much you really spend I’m happy for them and hope I can do it good too soon ❤
@renatonp 14 years ago I invested several hundred dollars and never got passed the testing phase. Sure I could have thrown anything together for a hundred bucks, but it would not have been tested for throw, burn rate or safety.

She was talking about selling a product she doesn’t have yet, a presale. But any candlemaker will tell you, you need to make and burn at least 100 candles to test various things. Hot throw, cold throw, clean burn, time burning, it’s chemistry and lots of variables are involved. It’s just such a bad advice for a newbie; presale with no candle making knowledge or experience.
I def woud not recommend this route with zero experience, however I felt he asked if it is possible. Which now with technology it is possible to do all the mock ups and do pre-sales of your products. You would, however, need a tried and tested product to make sure your recipe is good. I gave my mom our recipe for free and now she has her own company :D so it is possssssible.
These videos are always so lazy. No real questions are ever asked. They always say they started with nothing or 100 bucks lol. Don’t say you started with 100 when you had a kickstarter and got 4 grand out of it. My god it’s just infuriating. Also none of these brands are even seen anywhere. So they call you to be on your channel?
in the candle business very few have the quality to be bought again. The only ones I am ok to spend extra are La bougie française. Not just good scents. it absorbs bad ones.

Soooooo is that 500,000 take home orrrrr? That’s the only thing that really turns me off is I don’t recall any episode where you guys explain that I mean what’s the overhead? What’s the take home? What if she makes 500,000 but you’re not telling me her overhead is 450,000 or something similar I’m sure everyone would like to know what each one of your interviewees is ACTUALLY making not just throw around the biggest most attractive number possible without explaining what that number actually means. What👏is👏the TAKE HOME! 😂
Video can be highly misleading, they had $4,100 for their startup, not $100. $100 their own cash, 4k from kickstarter. Not to downplay their success, but the video could have been more honest to the viewer.
$100 is how they started. The kickstart is when they decided to scale and become an official business. She said she recycled the profit in the beginning. Just gotta pay attention.
It is so rare to start a candle business with just $100 unless is a candle kit and I don't believe her. I own a small dessert candle business online, I do it part time and it cost me a lot of money. There is so much work that goes into candles like tons of testing the wax with different wick types and sizes on different vessels and testing every single fragrance. The fragrances, vessels and wax are pricey, that's why I buy local from my local candle supply manufacturer. What I like the least would be the marketing.
@@UpFliphave you guys interviewed a home fragrance company that sells highend products ( meaning their products are priced $80-100 plus) would love to see how a small business succeeded in the luxury arena ( not just look luxury but priced as well and able to get people to buy )

Scented candles has to be the most saturated market in the world. And no one talks about the synthetic scents and the chemicals they are made from… it’s actually not healthy for your lungs to breath in the smoke/scent from these candles.
Very true! Fragrance is an unregulated industry and many candles and other fragrance products contain toxic ingredients that you, your kids, and pets shouldn’t be inhaling. We use clean fragrances which are more expensive but they are free from carcinogens, reproductive toxins, and other potentially hazardous ingredients. I bring my dog and baby to the candle warehouse on a regular basis. I wouldn’t do so if I felt our scents weren’t safe for them. ❤
What are some better ways to make candles that don;t harm the immune system and people? (Share any solutions and thoughts on what ingredients or other brands that do a good job?). I'm learning..
Aromas are chemicals, fragrance is also an incredibly regulated field - every fragrance oil you buy is made out of aroma chemicals(whether made in a lab or in nature) and it’s the amount of the different elements that trigger warnings - for instance too much oak moss (natural) is only allowed in very small quantities - the same with cinnamon etc Nature is not all safe and chemical is not all unsafe
Wicks typically come in 6 inches and you cut off the excess. You can make new ones out of them but you have to factor in your time vs the cost savings. They are paying probably a penny each in bulk and it might not be worth their time to do something with it
They can literally go to a manufacturer to have those candles made and save themselves all that manual labor. Or at the very least use a manufacturer to produce the best sellers, so now they can focus on growing the business.
Most manufacturers have a significant lead time, which makes it very difficult to fulfill large wholesale orders in a short period of time. That's why a lot of these candle companies are making their own candles instead of outsourcing.
She can literally place an order for the candles to be made in 30-45 days, and while she waits for the order, she could continue to make the candles the manual way. Then as soon as she receives the first batch from the manufacturers, she places a seconds order with them. So she can receive the second batch, right before the first batch finish. And just keep the cycle going. And in the mean time they can focus on marketing/content and also a second manufacturer, so their lead time can cut in half to 2-3 weeks.There's always a way to work around every difficult situation in every business. @@chanceriordan
as she said...it can't say handmade on the label if she gets it manufactured.......and lots of pop ups and markets are for only handmade businesses...MORE AND MORE people are looking for handmade because they are tired of manufactured items. They are are not made as well. Handmade is handmade. Handmade is not manufactured.
Iv seen a lot of videos like this... I know the deal so stop all the bull, you just after more income, you're so busy making millions and still have time and want more?!! 2 choice, or you super greedy or lying. I didn't even see the video, they all the same and after the same thing 🙄 Just really upset me you putting false hopes in people for your own good...
How that start engine works 😅 how the hell the small companies are able to get shares types of business and even emitting millions of them 😅 and who is controlling that market 😅 is it SEC? Who is watching over minority rights of investors and etc 😅

They’re definitely lying.
They later said in the video that they RAISED $4,000 from Kickstarter, so the $100 was not completely true at all.
With $100 you can definitely get the supplies you need for a small batch. A melting pot/carafe, a pair of scissors, a case or 2 of jars, a few pounds of soy wax & a lb of fragrance would definitely be less than $100. The farmer's market may or may not have a vendor's fee depending on the venue.

they usually discuss it, depends on how willing the owner is in explaining the details.

Wicks typically come in 6 inches and you cut off the excess. You can make new ones out of them but you have to factor in your time vs the cost savings. They are paying probably a penny each in bulk and it might not be worth their time to do something with it
Wow
Were you inspired to start your own candle business? ☺️

My Supplies coast like 800 dollar so it expensive
Sorry, but you can't even buy a box of wax with shipping for a $100
Why are candle businesses so lucrative?
They can literally go to a manufacturer to have those candles made and save themselves all that manual labor. Or at the very least use a manufacturer to produce the best sellers, so now they can focus on growing the business.
True but u can’t do quality control when u outsource it.
@@kruzedarling9347 You can if you have them produced and sent to you, then you distribute it yourself.
That's one way of growing a business but that's not their business model as of the moment. ☺️
Most manufacturers have a significant lead time, which makes it very difficult to fulfill large wholesale orders in a short period of time. That's why a lot of these candle companies are making their own candles instead of outsourcing.
She can literally place an order for the candles to be made in 30-45 days, and while she waits for the order, she could continue to make the candles the manual way. Then as soon as she receives the first batch from the manufacturers, she places a seconds order with them. So she can receive the second batch, right before the first batch finish. And just keep the cycle going. And in the mean time they can focus on marketing/content and also a second manufacturer, so their lead time can cut in half to 2-3 weeks.There's always a way to work around every difficult situation in every business. @@chanceriordan
as she said...it can't say handmade on the label if she gets it manufactured.......and lots of pop ups and markets are for only handmade businesses...MORE AND MORE people are looking for handmade because they are tired of manufactured items. They are are not made as well. Handmade is handmade. Handmade is not manufactured.
Deeeeefinitely leeeeeave roooom fooooor creeeeaaaammmmm
They could scale 10x to 5 million if they offered a Loyalty Reward program

Thanks for watching! ☺️
Of course :DDDD
A modern day luxury or a third world essential.
Interested to find out if you have a passion for candles or fragrances? For some, they are a necessity, while for others, they represent a luxury.
Someone should let her know if she doesn't already is to find an influencer who will represent her brand well. Influencers are the new marketers.
That's one way to tackle marketing! ☺️
It's NOT this easy lol they had help from someone or something.
Yeah, I suspect the 4,000 dollars from kickstarter were mainly donated by family members/friends
Tell me you're from the US without telling me you're from the US lol
Congrats to them... but their products need a better image, their labels look cheap
This only works if cute girls are selling it and people pay for a convo.. same types that would subscribe to their OF 😆 🤣 😂 😹
opened a brick & mortar durring covid. ..
It's a bold move! Opening a brick-and-mortar during such challenging times shows great determination. 💪
Iv seen a lot of videos like this... I know the deal so stop all the bull, you just after more income, you're so busy making millions and still have time and want more?!! 2 choice, or you super greedy or lying. I didn't even see the video, they all the same and after the same thing 🙄
Just really upset me you putting false hopes in people for your own good...
Are you referring to all the people they interview on this channel or these candle makers specifically?
How that start engine works 😅 how the hell the small companies are able to get shares types of business and even emitting millions of them 😅 and who is controlling that market 😅 is it SEC? Who is watching over minority rights of investors and etc 😅
I like the other guy he just seems sleazy
Started with $100? Bs

So true! 🙌
Candle is very bad for your lung.
Not as bad as cigarettes, vapers or city cars
aren't there medicinal candles? i guess it depends on the materials these candles made from
So is the air pollution, lol.
Not all candles. Paraffin yes! Made from petroleum. Soy & Coconut ones more eco friendly. I have some pet friendly ones.
as long as it sells , they don't care
we had a little bit of money from kickstarter.... and only had $100
do you mind divulging how much was on that kickstarter??? LOL corny as fuck
