Change is Inevitable

It has been a long time since I wrote anything on this blog. A lot has changed and now we are in a period of transition on the web. Eddy has quit supplying candles for sale on the web and I am in the process of figuring out what to do with the website.

I would like to find a source of quality candles that are made in the USA and the company will drop ship direct to our customers. I will not use candles made in China or other countries where we can not guarantee the quality of the product.

If I can’t find a source of candles to have on the site I would maybe sell the site which is built on the Ecommerce Templates shopping cart and is a very good shopping cart with great customer service and support.

Please contact me if you are a supplier of such products or know of a company I can work with for both of our benefit.

You can contact me at bob@oregoncandle.com, please feel free to send any ideas you might have and share this message with your friends and associates who might have an answer.

For all you who have used our candles the last few years, I thank you and look forward to possibly being able to supply your needs again.

This is What I Want

I talked awhile back about having your olfactory receptors stimulated. Today in another blog I saw this – an excerpt from it.

“Not only will you get to snack on chocolate while you are looking at chocolate, but you’ll be able to sniff it too. The movie is being presented with the added touch of AromaRama. AromaRama is a technique developed by Charles Weiss in the 1950’s. It’s used to enhance the movie experience by appealing to the sense of smell at key moments in the plot. ”

Now all we need is to invent this for the internet and you could sample our great scents before you buy them.

Visit us soon at the Candle Store.

What About Your Favorite Fragrances?

Can you get your favorite fragrance anymore?

What about Yankee Candle Co who has made some of the most famous fragrances in the candle business. They have discontinued some of their most popular it seems.

Lets talk about one, Hearts and Flowers. We have it with this discription “Hearts and Flowers (type)* smells just like the popular Yankee candle fragrance. One of our customers said she could not tell the difference.

We have quite a few of the fragrances that are a (type) which means they are a copy or reasonable facsimile of the original. Any of the originals that we have a type of are trade marked by that particular company. Go to our scents page to look at all our fragrances, over 150 of them.

Watch this blog for more information on various fragrances and we will be adding more fragrances to the site as time goes on.

Just a note about a press release I put out today on http://www.americantowns.com/. American Towns is a free site that has news from towns all over. Mike Corso of www.coolsiteoftheday.com told me about it this morning. It is kind of neat because they will also submit it to the local newspapers, no guarantee though if the papers will print it. I will let you know about that if I find out anything.
Mike’s American towns link is click here . He has helped me a lot the last few days and I really appreciate it, thanks Mike.
I am making an effort to be consistent in my blogging and other communications. I will add an RSS feed to this in the next few days so you can get this blog automatically.

Have a great weekend and remember, The Grave Is Empty, That is what Easter is all about. Sorry if I broke your balloon because you thought it was about bunny eggs. If you don’t know what I am talking about the grave, you are free to call or email me your phone number and I will call and tell you about it for free.
