Hosting a candle party is a great way to get together with your
friends, earn some free candles for yourself, and most of all have fun. We take
a different approach to our parties, more relaxed, more of an open house style. We don’t think candles need a sales pitch, people either love
them or they don’t, so we won’t put your friends and family through a sales
pitch or activities/games. Generally we’ll set
up, and have a 2-3 hour window that your guests can drop by anytime they
want to look at and “play” with the candles. They can either
purchase the candles we bring (no waiting), or place orders if they want something
we didn’t bring. There will be no pressure to purchase anything, book
parties, or become sales reps. We really want this to be a fun and relaxed
thing for the hostess and friends.
We do require a 3-person minimum to hold a party. Here’s how it works
for the hostess: with 3-5 people attending, you’ll receive a free 8 oz
jelly jar candle of your choice and a pack of tea lights. With 6 or more
people attending, you’ll receive a 12 oz oval hexagon candle of your choice and
a pack of tea lights. In addition, you’ll receive 15% of your
party’s sales (before taxes) in free products of your choice. Another option is leaving your party open for 2 weeks after your show with some order
forms and sniffies (scent samples) for people who couldn’t come but
perhaps wanted to purchase candles (would count towards your total). The good
thing about doing this after your show is that you've already had the chance to see
the different products and try the scents. If you
have family and friends that live out of town, you could also send them to our
website and if they order, their sales would count towards your show
totals.
If you live in Western Washington state, but not in Skagit County and
are interested in holding a show, just ask. It will depend on our
availability, etc. but we're open to discussing it.
Book Parties or Online Parties
Book Parties work the same as above except people
do not come to your house, and we don’t bring candles to your house to set
up. We would give you a few brochures, some sniffies, and order
forms. You would show your family and friends (our website should
help you out too), and if they wanted to purchase candles
you take their orders. For a book party as a hostess you’ll receive a free
8 oz jelly jar candle of your choice, and 15% of the pre-tax sales in free
products of your choice. You can also invite friends and family from
out of the area to the website and if they purchase, as long as they tell us,
their sales would also count towards your book party. A wonderful way to earn
free candles for yourself.
An online party works exactly as above, except you'll receive a party
ID#, and you'll send email invitations to people you know (we will
provide those) directing them to our website. Any orders they
purchase, they'll give us your party ID#, and you'll receive the same
benefits as above.
Scent Help
We realize our scent list a huge and sometimes making a decision can
be difficult, if you ever need suggestions, please email us and let us
know what types of scents you tend to be drawn towards/looking at, and
we can email you a few suggestions of scents in those categories.
Fundraisers
We also do fundraisers for groups. See the 'Fund
Raiser' page for more information.
Hosting a candle party is a joy with Valerie’s warm personality and low-key selling approach. Valerie fills the home with candles of all scents and sizes. Guests “play” with the candles and enjoy a leisurely time of smelling and handling all the fabulous candles. I highly recommend inviting Valerie and her wonderful, original, soy candles to any home for a delightful party! It was a fabulous, relaxing afternoon! - Mindy Hardwick, Lake Stevens, WA
