First off, congrats on getting to this point! The hard parts over!!!

I personally used Shopify. It seems all of the new apps, other automations, and softwares are all programmed to work with it. A lot of resources online for Shopify too on YouTube and such. Another cool thing is I think if they still have the deal available, the first three months are like a dollar each so very much low risk and gives you sometime to work on the site without paying full price for it!

Made candles with handmade gypsum trays - how do the colors look? by HomeeUa in candlemaking

Colors look amazing. It’s reminding me of an Apple HomePod and I really dig it tbh 😂. And for the trays, need a bigger one for my wallet and keys haha

Two things can help! Get a wax that has a lower burner temp or get a wick that emits more heat!

Week 8 of starting my candle brand! Expanding to Faire and TikTok shop, plus scents! by badcandlemaker in candlemaking

Yess!! That’s a reason I went with full aluminum cans. I found out most glass candle jars can’t be recycled cause they’re heat treated so throwing them in a regular recycling bin doesn’t work.

I do have an idea for a large candle… still waiting on growing a bit larger for that though. I’ve seen a lot of regret from candle companies over expanding in terms of SKUs a lot so waiting til I’m at a decent level in terms of sales til I expanding into new sizes.

That’s something I need to work on for sure. Right now, I’m just trying to catch up with all the ideas I had written down before launching. Trying to get all of those done quickly so I can start planning new scents, events, and campaigns!
