Thank you I just started my candle line launching in February just in time for Valentine’s Day!! I didn’t take a lot into consideration other than the cost of the candles and when I did take everything into consideration I said besides the love and ideas created this business is worth every amount I retail my candles at!! And reading this is just another confirmation.

Hi. I started my candle business and its a learning process. Lol i understand the formula for the 8oz. But what if i make one 2oz, 4oz, 6oz and 10 oz candle. Do i multiply by the amount of wax i bought, like the 20lb bag or lower. I may not understand at all really

In reply to William Z.. Take each thing that you bought and the price. Break it down into ONE candle. That will give you the price of a single candle. You get just over 4 candles per pound of wax. Lets call it 4. If 2 pounds of wax is 9.99, then 9.99 divide by 8 is $1.24 per candle just for the wax. I get the 10 pound from amazon for 24.00 so the cost is cheaper. Break it down like that for everything. That's what i did. As far as the shipping, If you want to charge 10.00 per candle. You are going to eat the shipping. Just add shipping into cost and factor into price. I sell for 15.95 free shipping and 17.95 for a 10 ounce. And I still take a small hit on it. 15.95 and 17.95 are not high for soy candles. People will pay for it because its worth it. Hope this makes sense!

I need help in deciding on a business name. I want to use lavender and a picture of a pineapple. I do not live in Hawaii. Any idea on a business name that incorporates lavender and a pineapple?

Do you figure the cost the same way with the clam shell tarts the same way
