This was the video I didn’t know I was waiting for. I am focused on local sales because I live somewhere touristy, but I don’t want to neglect the other ways people can shop for my candles. Love it!!
❤️ thanks Rebecca
Wowwww, I was thoroughly engaged the entire 21 minutes. This is so helpful!! Omg, thank you for sharing this. It’s a game changer. Now let me go binge the rest of your videos😂😊
😁🤣🤣 please feel free! :)
Awesome! The great things about these types of marketing strategies is that you get the most out of your marketing budget, no matter if you run a small or big business. Email marketing is a great way to save money and get a huge ROI. :)
Agreed
Thank you so very much Wade. This video is so helpful in terms of marketing. My marketing skills are not very good and this app will make it so much easier. Thank you soooo very much. 🙏😁
Meh. Mine aren't really either too be honest. Lol
@@BlackTieBarn I am sure your skills are much better than mine. I’ve learnt so much from you and always look forward to seeing your videos. Thank you!😁
I have to stop looking at my Unsubscribe list... it makes me sad 😆 but this is definitely a topic I need a lot of help on!!
🤣 don't we all
Thank you for this video. It's very helpful. I live in a very small town, so I don't have a lot of opportunity to make a lot of sales locally. I depend on my online shop to make most of my sales. I hope to use the techniques you talk about in this video to increase my sales.
❤️
Thank you for this explanation. I love all your videos. Your dedication to help others has taught me a new hobby, and hopefully become a small business owner in the near future. Please continue all your hard work 🕯️❤
You are so welcome!
This is the exact video I needed right now. I shit my site down temporarily because I too am relocating and working on my fall collection so it’s just makes it easier. I also want to redesign my site and add email marketing but just didn’t know how to go about it. Thank you for this video!
Your welcome. And.... 🤣 read your second sentence. Lol
@@BlackTieBarn oh no! I just read it! Lol How embarrassing! It’s my fat finger syndrome. 🤭
Thank you soooooo much Wade. Procrastination is not my amigo.
🤣
Awesome Video! Get that sign up form dialed in at 5%+ plus conversion rate and a solid welcome series with at least 3 emails. What works well is that first email a text based email coming from the founder.
❤️👍
Waww amazing app God bless you for sharing this with us. Going to add this to my candle business
❤️
Another Gem!! Thank you Wade!!
❤️
Wade, thank you for another amazing video!
You're welcome
I was so excited to try a new app, and at first, it said it was free. Just as I finished setting it up, it changed to 30.00 per month. Thats a bummer.
You may hit them up. Most apps are free either for a while or for some functionality. Certians things have a cost. You might ask them what part is causing the billing and you can cancel of needed as well or at least revert to the free options
Thank you! Very helpful information.
You're welcome
Hey! As an account manager at the email marketing agency, I strongly recommend email and SMS as main sources of your marketing due to the high ROI. Should you need any help with both email and SMS, let me know
👍
Thanks for your tips
❤️👍
Hello i have a website with ecwid. Can you possibly do a video on what you think of that e-commerce site ?
I have no experience with it, but if that changes I will for sure. :)
Do you know if you can do a post purchase survey on this app?
Hmm. Great question. I know you can do post purchase emails, etc. So probably a feedback option as well

Been soooo lost! I’ve had no sales! Used godaddy and I just am at a loss!! 😢
Maybe I can help.
So far, all of my sales have been by word of mouth and general interest/ curiosity. They have all been local (co-workers, neighbors when I see them out and about, people in retail stores already shopping and I keep a few candles with me for that purpose). My approach is to simply read the situation and then ask as an example.
"Hi, I just wanted to ask, do you like soy candles by chance?". I then show the product and let the customer make up their decision based on their reaction, then I give the price. I've made most of my sales, just by doing that. They then ask me if I have a website. I tell them, not right now, but it is coming soon, and I can let them know as soon as it is available. Then give them my business email. I also inform them that i am brand new and that candles are starting point, but that I love the process and that it took months of work to have this result.
Word of mouth is a BIG deal. (I picked up X product at (Your company name) and look at this!). The key is to get buzzword going and eventually you won't need to look for customers so much. They will come looking for you, if you focus on giving THE BEST product that you can deliver at a fair price.
Anyway, customer engagement is a HUGE deal. There's no substitute for getting yourself out there, even when things are going well. Of course, you want to keep the customer relationship at a business arm's length. Otherwise, people tend to expect freebies, etc. on your hard work.
Other things to help are making flyers and listing all (or most) of your scents and photo examples of your products. Consider as well, adding additional products to your brand and just getting your name out there.
If you've already setup and LLC and Trademark, then you can absolutely advertise in a public setting (billboard, storefront, vehicle, etc.).
Sorry for the misspelling. Won’t let me edit
Great tips!
