Saturday, we had a sidewalk sale at our store. All the candles were 1/2 off and the melts sold for $4.00. I am amazed how well we did, with the economy and all. But, it was a good sale.
People were buying for future weddings, birthdays, and even some they could put away for Christmas. One told me they bought for surprise days they didn’t plan for.
Some return customers came, really stroking my ego. They tell me, bar none, our melts and candles are the best they’ve ever used. Well, that makes me feel great. But, I know it is all because we double, triple scent, and we have a huge selection of fragrances.
We sell a lot of speciality items at the store as well, making gift giving more fun. However, we did not have these items on sale. Most everything we make are on the website, however we are working on some new items.
At any rate, I’ll probably wait until it is cooler to do another sidewalk sale. It is too hot for the candles now.
So be sure and check out our fragrance page and the descriptions.
Enjoy!!
