CandleKoala Happenings

My Candles
I made a whole heap of candles (55 travel tins) for a friend of mine's Lavender business. She's at the Sydney Beauty Show (www.sydneybeautyshow.com.au) this weekend and is able to sell stuff, so the candles are there to be sold (we're doing it on a half consignment basis, where I charge her a base fee, but as she's not paying me in advance we're splitting the margin). hopefully it'll be a sell out.

Professional Looking Labels
I got the (blank) labels sent to me from the US and printed it on an inkjet printer and they turned out quite swish! I'm very happy with the quality of the labels (looks professional) as long as I can get them to line up properly. I'll try and get some printed off with various things and post each of you one out as a sample so you can see what they look like. btw this is a trade secret, so don't tell anyone not of your team or my team! :) I'll also see if I can just take a photo with the travel tin so you can see how professional they can look... again time is against me as I sent the lavender travel tins off without a photo taken! and now have to print another one or two for the photo shoot to email you all

Yummy Smelling Candles
With the CandleMaster kit, we of course got different fragrances, I mixed in cinnamon and spice with apple.... and called it Apple Strudel (as it didn't smell as "baked" as apple pie). YUM! I'm going to a local crafty/country style shop with the tins and will see if they are interested. I love the scent! 500g wax, 20g cinnamon and spice, 20g apple.

Getting more Associates
I'm planning to do another classifieds ad campaign as I think I'm ready to sign up a couple more associates now that I've been with CandleLyte a bit longer... probably first week of May if I can get my act together. I'm going to advertise in the city freebie magazines they hand out to city commuters. I saw a Herbalife distributor (I know a few of us have done this!) at the train station the other day (Town Hall station) handing out brochures, and was thinking that may still be a good option... anyway all ideas for down the track!
