Welcome back to my series on how to build a candle business. Today I am going to recap where we are, from week one to week seven. Today starts week eight in our process. So we have learned a lot. We've grown a lot. We have made a lot of progress in launching a brand new candle business. We've also faced a few roadblocks that I want to talk about as well. So let's get into this. We are going to recap everything we've done. I'm going to share some insights and some tips with you. I will share some free downloads for you to go and grab to help you out on your journey as well. So, whether you are a brand new to candle making or a candle business, or you have been on this journey for quite some time, I think today is actually going to hopefully give you some insights and some actionable steps for you to take right away.
Series Recap Introduction
Speaker 1I'm Sebastian Garznett, the co-founder of Garznett Beacon Candle Company and the founder of Candle Business Pro, where we help makers go pro, and we are putting together this series thanks to a partnership with Tuato. So Tuato wax melters I can't talk about them enough. They are fantastic. We use them in all three of our stores. We even have our tester one here for when we're making candles at home. We just love them. They actually provided us with a link for you to use If you would like. It is not an affiliate link. We are not getting a commission when you use this. This is just an additional discount for you and you can find that in the show notes below.
Speaker 1So let's get into this. So, week one that is where we really started setting the foundation for this new candle business. Now, if you're just now starting on this journey with us, the name of our new brand is going to be called Without. It's missing the I, so it's Without spelled W-T-H-O-U-T. Depending on when you are watching this, you may be able to go and check us out at withoutbrandcom. That is where we'll be living out on the internet as well as on all the social media channels. So, depending on if you're watching this the week it comes out, or just a couple of weeks after that, or possibly years in the future or you may be listening to this on the podcast you can go and check it out and see where we are today. We like to be very transparent and honest with our growth, with our struggles, with what's doing well right now. That's why we built the Inner Circle, which is our community of just candle maker businesses together. Whether you are thinking about starting a business or you are a six-figure candle business, the Inner Circle is a place for you to connect with others. So you can obviously find out more about that out at candlebusinessprocom or in the show notes below. All right, so week one, we set the foundation.
Speaker 1For you to be able to set the foundation, do a very, very simple exercise write three sentences of why. What's your why? Why are you wanting to make candles? Are you why? Are you wanting to turn this into a business? Are you wanting to do it to supplement your income? You're just wanting a little extra on the side. Are you wanting to go full time so that you can be a stay at home parent? Uh, with home parent with your kids, to have more family time? What's your why? And your why does not have to line up with anyone else's. So don't think about the reasons that I say I wanted to do it or that the reason why Chad wanted to do it.
Speaker 1In fact, we run this business together and our whys are completely different of why we got into this. He wanted this to be a creative outlet. I wanted this to be a business. I wanted us to become self-employed, and that's what we've done. So we are no longer working for another employer. We're self-employed. I hope to never wear suit pants again to an office to work. We'll see if that's the case, but right now we're on a pretty good trajectory to not have to do that.
Speaker 1So the other thing you're going to want to do is list out your first three products that you're going to make. Are they going to be candles, room sprays, wax melts? What's your first three products going to be and who is going to be that customer? Who are you going to be serving? That's going to be really critical is deciding who we're serving. We'll talk about that here in just another step.
Speaker 1So start with the foundation. What's your why you want to make candles? This is the reason why you want to make them and this is the person that you want to make them for. So that's a very simple foundation that you can start with. Pick a start date. Pick a start date that you want to start and really try to commit to it.
Setting Your Business Foundation
Speaker 1You know I see a lot of makers. They say that they've been making for six months, a year, two years, but they don't have that product out there that they're trying to sell. Now, if you're just doing this as a hobby, totally fine. There's absolutely nothing wrong with making candles and leaning into that artistic side of doing this scent blending and really enjoying that. That's actually the passion of Chad's, of why he enjoys candle making. I like to sell candles. That's what my position within the brand is is I want to sell our products. So think about what your start date's going to be and really try to commit to it.
Speaker 1And if you're going to make this into a business, you need to keep some structure. You have to have structure of when you're going to start your testing, when you think you're going to get through all of that testing and when can you realistically open up an online store. There's going to be other opportunities, of course, for you to sell We'll talk about that in a moment as well but just set that goal. What we did is we set a goal. We said you know what, we're going to turn this into a business, and that was on November 19th of 2021. And we went and registered our name at the IRS, so we got our EIN number. We said we are officially going to do this. All right, let's dive into it. That was on November 19th and we set February 28th as our open to store day. So that gave us December, all of January, all of February and a weekend in November so three months and we said we want to have this entire business built ready to go. Now. We had been testing a couple of months prior to that. We were lost.
Speaker 1So much of it when we're beginning is what wax to use, what oil to use, and then pivoting so much and then taking bad advice and following the wrong people on YouTube and you know, oh, we were mixing different waxes together because we were having issues, when in reality, what it comes down to is you need to focus on one thing at a time, one variable at a time. It's exactly what I teach in our candle making course. It's start with one wick, one vessel, one wax, one oil. Then we can start to get it. You know, start to have some fun. Then we can start mixing two oils together and then we can start doing wooden wick candles or three wick candles. Start with one wick, one wax, one vessel. Master that you can start a business.
Speaker 1Our business operates and is successful literally based on this candle, that we have made well over six figures on this one candle. Now we have 78 candles, I believe, that we sell online in our shop, but it all, the foundation, came around this one candle. This is in a jar that costs about a buck, just a clear 10 ounce Libby jar candle. One wick, one wax, a couple oils because this one we do have a blend in now, but that's how we started our business At first. We were trying to do too much, so on November 19th 2021, we said, ok, let's document everything, let's start taking notes on everything, let's get a spreadsheet out. And that is when everything changed. And so we were testing one thing, and when it didn't work, it failed. We knew what to change. That's exactly what we teach in our course. If you've gone through that, you know that, and if you haven't, you're welcome to check that out as well at kennelbusinessprocom.
Speaker 1All right, so we're setting the foundation and then in week two of this week of this series excuse me we talked about our name and our brand basics. If you don't have a brand name yet, that's fine. Start with. Let's brainstorm 20 names so you can use chat, gpt or AI to help you if you want, but make sure that this is personal.
Naming Your Brand Successfully
Speaker 1I see a lot of names like Wild Wicks or Highly Scented or things that just aren't personal, right, but you also want to be careful not to go too personal. You know, s&c Candles probably isn't going to resonate with anyone. If I was going to use my initial and Chad's initials S&CC candles, or it could have been like CG candles, which would have been Chad Garzen's candles because he is the one that started this. So you can definitely get personal, but you want to make sure that it's not so personal that your customers aren't going to I don't want to say not relate to it, but they're not going to understand. It almost seems like I don't want it to be too homemade, if that makes sense. I don't want to just have a Sebastian's Candles and expect the world to relate to that. So something that I would think about as you're building that out. So pick, you know, 20 names and then try to narrow that on down to three or so.
Speaker 1Go out to the USPTO's website just to make sure that it's going to be available. You don't necessarily have to trademark it right away, but you want to go ahead and at least do a search to make sure it's going to be available. That's what we had a issue with with our new brand. Our new brand, with Out, was already taken as far as that domain was taken. Now the brand itself wasn't. So check USPTO's website to see if the trademark has been taken and then go to whatever domain purchasing site you're going to use.
Speaker 1We love Squarespace. You can get it at GoDaddycom, you can get it at Wixcom, you can get them anywhere. We use Squarespace for all of our websites to make sure what you're going to want is available. And if it's not available, are you going to be able to use something very similar? That's going to be okay. You can certainly add on candles, take off candles, right. Our website is GarznetBeaconcom. If that would have for some reason have been taken, we could have done GarznetBeaconCandlescom right If we wanted to go that direction. So you want to make sure that it is available.
Speaker 1Our new brand, withoutcom, even though we're spelling it differently and uniquely, without the I. That's not available If someone else already owns it. It's some type of old blog. I'm going to try my best to buy it from them at some point, but right now it's not available. So our website is going to be withoutbrandcom. It fits for the vibe that we're going with, because we are going to be more of a lifestyle type of brand with this new endeavor.
Speaker 1All right, so that was in week two with this new endeavor. All right, so that was in week two. Week three was all about your niche and your target audience, and this is super, super crucial. This is how you set yourself apart from others and how you grow a business and how you have what is going to become super fans. You only need 100 super fans, 100 people that love your product, that is going to buy all the candles that you come out with and is going to recommend you to other people and at come Christmas time, they're going to be shopping with you.
Finding Your Niche & Target Audience
Speaker 1We have what we call super fans that have spent five, six, $7,000 with us and we've been open for about three years, and so we have what we like internally. We have like VIP tiers of people that we always want to stay in contact with. We send them some bonus stuff as surprises occasionally, and then we also check in with them when they haven't purchased with us in a few months. If three months have gone by and someone from our super fan list hasn't purchased from us. I'm going to send them a personal message hey, is everything okay? Is there anything we can do for you? Sometimes they have life changes and we want to be able to support them because they have been supporting us. We want to make sure that we're reaching out to those super fans. You need a hundred people that love your business and will spend a thousand dollars a year with you to make a hundred,000 a year. That's it. That's all you need. Find a hundred people that love your candles.
Speaker 1Now we do a lot of business online. We do a lot of business with our walk-in customers, but I tell you what the majority of our super fans we met out doing markets. They shopped with us at a market and then at the next market, they saw us again. We had a conversation. We talked about the previous candles that they purchased. They buy from us again. They recommend us to other people. A lot of our super fans came from when we were doing markets. So having that interaction in person with someone is a fantastic and easy way to start building a loyal following.
Speaker 1Online. You can do it, but it takes a little bit more. Your candles have to just be at that next level, which I'm sure your candles can get to. But when you are working with someone directly and selling to someone directly and they can hear your story, they can hear your why that? Why are you out here on a Saturday in these high temperatures? You know selling candles why are you doing this? When you can share that story with someone, they go on that journey with you. So doing markets is a fantastic way. It doesn't mean you have to. Some people don't want to do markets or are in a location that they just don't have markets. That's fine. You can always sell other ways, but that is an easy way for you to kind of jumpstart those super fans that I discussed.
Speaker 1So you want to have that niche. You want to have that target audience. You want to pick a specific lane to kind of stay in. Whether you want to make candles for stay-at-home moms that are super busy they are running around like crazy getting the kids to practice, picking up from school, taking them to all their extracurricular activities you can target them. You can live in South Florida and you are making candles in your niche just specifically for a nautical theme, for people that love being on boats, and so your brand is built around that. You know exactly who you're trying to sell to. You can make a theme or a niche around metaphysical Whether you enjoy the metaphysical space. You can make a business around sports. You can build a whole brand around just sports-themed candles, right.
Speaker 1If you're selling a sports themed candle to your audience, sure you might be turning away a really big audience as well that just wouldn't be interested in that. But those people that are interested are going to be really interested in because you're going to be talking to them. For instance, if you make a mason jar candle that has some twine and a hang tag around it and you are putting your scents are very home inspired or like the gourmand sense. Like, say, you have a mason jar candle that says apple pie and you are doing an entire farmhouse cottage theme, that's going to fit in a farmhouse cottage theme type of gift shop or home decor location. It's not going to fit at a contemporary, modern type of shop, right. But that's okay because the people that are shopping where you're wanting that candle to be are going to love that candle.
Speaker 1So pick a niche but also have that person in mind. Go and shop where they shop. Figure out what they're spending on candles. You might find out that the people that are buying that candle that you're wanting to make are only spending $10, $12, $15 for a candle. So you got to figure out can you make a candle and sell it at that price and still make a profit if you're going to make this into a business? If not, you may need to switch your niche. You may need to find a different avenue to go down. If you are in a location where you, if your niche that you want to get into is like ultra luxury, high end, you're selling 75, $100 starting point for a candle, that's great, do it.
Speaker 1But who's your customer? How are you going to sell to them? The way you build a website out for that customer and the way you build out a website for that farmhouse cottage or that metaphysical customer is going to be way different. So that's why you want to have a niche, and then you want to have a target audience and really dive into who that is. So what I like to do is create a customer profile. Just think of it. Give your person a name.
Speaker 1If you watch the, if you go back into week three, I actually tell you exactly who my customers are for the new brand I have Camille. She lives in Brooklyn. She is only shopping at her local bodegas. Her price point is going to be around $30 to $35 for a candle. She will do a lot of online shopping but she likes to support those other up and coming places. She is anti-Target Walmart. She doesn't shop at those type of big box places, but she will shop online.
Speaker 1So you break it all down and then everything you do within your brand it has that one person in mind. So when I write an email, I want to make sure that the communication that I'm having with within those emails or within the social media is talking to that person. You want to make sure that you're using the tones. You want to make sure you're using the color schemes You're also you want to make sure you're using the right fonts that are going to connect with people. There are some websites that are like streetwear. That's very bold, in-your-face block lettering. That's great for streetwear. But if you are wearing, if you're going to a formal event, you wouldn't be wearing streetwear. You'd be wearing, you know, a sequined dress or a black tie affair, right? So that's just kind of an example of how it would work within, like the clothing space. All right.
Marketing Foundations & Channels
Speaker 1So in week four we talked about some marketing foundations. One of the things I would recommend doing is, once you sign up for Shopify again, I highly recommend Shopify over any other platform. We do talk about Shopify versus Etsy, but when you do get your Shopify store, I highly recommend go ahead and putting up a password protected page, even if you haven't built it out yet. Totally fine, but go ahead and put that password protected page up and start collecting emails on it so that you can start promoting on your social media and letting people know it's coming and then they can go ahead and hop onto your email list so that you can keep them informed as you go through this launch. It's going to be really critical to put in the marketing efforts of taking your brand new people that are going to start following you and take them on the journey with you.
Speaker 1We had a really successful weekend when we first started our business. It was about a $3,000 weekend like over three days Friday, saturday, sunday, maybe a little bit into Monday. It was like $3,000 of online sales. It was fantastic. The people that bought from us were people that had gone on the journey for a couple of months. It wasn't someone brand new that hadn't heard that we were starting a candle business and they just were eager to get their wallet out. That's not who is going to buy from you. It's going to be people that you take on the journey with you. So as soon as you have a name for your business, go ahead and get the social media handles and go ahead and just put up a cover image of what your logo does. You can just create a very inexpensive or a free logo on Canva and then just go ahead and throw it out on social media. And then everything you do with your business when you order supplies and then the supplies arrive, take a photo of that, post it. Let people know. My supplies arrived, I'm going to start testing. You know, oh, this smells so good. Oh, you know, I'm mixing these oils together.
Speaker 1Whatever you're making, let your customers learn from you so that they know where you're going on this journey. Just showing up one day and saying, oh hey, by the way, I started a candle business. Come support me. Here's my website. It's too impersonal, even if it's your closest friends and family, too impersonal and too like just throwing it at them. Don't do that. Let them go on the journey with you. You're not trying to sell them anything because you don't have anything to sell. You're just showing them the behind the scenes. Show a lot of your struggles as well. Show your vulnerability. Show how vulnerable you can be as you're growing this out. Show them the mistakes, the mishaps, the spills, the struggles, the late night. Show all of that to people, because then whenever you get through that, those hurdles, uh, they're really going to want to support you even more. Uh, so that's what I recommend, starting off as a foundation, is letting people go on that journey with you.
Speaker 1In week five, we discussed the different sales channels. So we discussed, uh, shopify. We discussed, uh, etsy. Um, we discussed some of the wholesale, such as getting on fair and doing that as well Depends on who your customer is. If you're trying to be bougie, over-the-top luxury Etsy, which is more focused on small business, homemade, handcrafted that might not align. I would certainly try anything out on Etsy. I don't think that it hurts to try.
Speaker 1You might find that something that you don't think is going to work on Etsy will actually just blow up and do fantastic right and go viral. We talked about in that episode in week five about the fees associated with Etsy and also with Shopify. Some people have complained about the Etsy fees but in reality, like you'll have to watch the video to see the breakdown because it's so minimal compared to what advertising and social media is going to cost you, not only just in time and resources, but also like to actually run ads. Also, shopify Shopify is fantastic. I just recommended a bit ago. You've got it. You know, you got to have a Shopify store. It's the gold standard when it comes to e-commerce. But you also have to send people to that to buy from you. Etsy has a community of shoppers millions that are on Etsy every single day looking for something. So you want to be that product for them. But Shopify it's not going to have customers going to your store on their own organically when you first start. It's going to be from you sharing and directing people to that website. Now, over time, based on how you build out your website, the keywords, as it's SEO optimized, will start pulling through on Google being all the other search engines if you do that properly. So I talk about that a little bit as well.
Speaker 1In week five, week six, we talked about a high converting website and the 10 things that your website must have, from different trust badges to product descriptions. In week six we really honed in on all 10 of those things that we're going to have on our website. In fact, in week six, in that episode, there is a download for you so you can actually have a checklist in front of you. It's completely free. You can get that in the show notes of the week six video, this checklist of all the things that you should have on your website. So go check that out. I'm not going to run through all of those right now, but it's a great tool to have with you as you're building out your website. That will really help your conversion. So it's one thing to get people to your website, but it's a whole nother thing to actually get them to get their credit card out and complete that transaction fully.
Local Marketing & Collaborations
Speaker 1And then last week all right, last week we talked about all the marketing stuff that we can start doing right now with local first, which is going to be your friends, your family, your coworkers, having them go on that journey with us collecting emails. We want to start collecting emails right now. It's going to be your friends, your family, your coworkers, having them go on that journey with us collecting emails. We want to start collecting emails right now. It's going to be. When you look back in a couple of years you're going to be like, oh, I have X, hundreds or thousands of emails and I wouldn't have got these if I wouldn't have started on day one. You want to start today getting email addresses from people because you might switch websites, you might switch platforms, you might switch business direction, you might get shut down by Instagram or Facebook because of something wonky and the algorithm kills your online store. Or you may be doing well on Etsy but then, all of a sudden, your sales drop. You want to have it with email addresses to connect with and to take wherever you go, and so make sure that you're starting to get email addresses right on day one.
Speaker 1Do social media with a purpose. There's going to be so many different options. You can do Facebook, instagram, TikTok, snapchat, pinterest, blue Sky, twitter. That became X. There's so many of them out there. Right In the week seven episode, I give you my four content pillars and I say to pick two platforms For us. Currently, we do Facebook and Instagram. That's where our customers mostly are. For our new brand, I think it's going to be more of an Instagram, possibly TikTok. So that's something that either we are going to have to learn or we are going to have to make sure someone on our team knows that additional platform in and out so that we can connect with our customer there. But only pick a couple of them.
Speaker 1Don't spread yourself too thin trying to start with your social media. You can always pivot and you can always start posting in other places. I've seen some really, really big brands, a couple of the brands that we follow. There's a brand called Voicemail. Absolutely love them, I love their messaging, I love their mission and they've got, you know, a few million followers on Instagram and I always look first on Facebook for a lot of things and they have, like I think it was like four or 5,000 followers. Big difference four or 5,000 followers on Facebook and millions on Instagram. They know where their customer is, so that's where they put their energy and that works for them just fine.
Speaker 1So think about it that way. I'm not going to just go out and start posting on Pinterest unless I know my customer is there, but they definitely would be there. We can only do so much, right? There's only so many hours in the day and we're trying to run a business. So make sure that you're maximizing your time on just a couple platforms. When you start and give it 100%, collaborate Collaborations are fantastic. When you start and give it a hundred percent, collaborate Collaborations are fantastic when you're first starting out.
Speaker 1If you're making candles, talk to a soap maker. That's a simple, simple way of collaborating. If you go to a hair salon or a barber that would be happy to have you make a custom candle that they can sell while they have people in their seat, that's a fantastic way of collaborating right. They're going to feel special by you creating a special candle for them and then they can sell it for you right there in the chair when they have someone in the chair. So that's an easy collaboration that you can do. You're going to also be able to collaborate within areas of your community. We do and we still do.
Speaker 1But what really helped us when we started was doing fundraisers. Doing fundraisers for an animal shelter massive way to get that email list to be growing, because you are going to promote that. You are going to give 25 percent of proceeds back to the let's say, the Humane Society and then that local community society is going to take your flyer that you created, send it out to their email list, promote it on their social media. They're going to send sales your direction and then you're giving them a portion of those proceeds. So it's a win-win and it's a really easy way, especially when you're starting to get brand new eyes on your brand. It worked wonders for us, and now, in three years, we've donated over $75,000 to organizations. Us and now, in three years, we've donated over $75,000 to organizations, and sure, that's great for all those organizations, but it's also, remember, we're running a business here and that's also been great for us because we're making money as well and we're starting to build up even more of those super fans that we want to operate our business with. So it is definitely a win-win.
Speaker 1I would definitely look at doing fundraisers in your community. As far as other things that you can do, as far as marketing, right now on your website, make sure you're telling a story. I talked about those 10 things on your website, but one of those that are really important is to tell your story. Have a photo of yourself, of your family, of your why, why are you doing this business, and then, lastly, you can also look at starting to do some press. So when we first started, we emailed all the news stations. We also emailed the newspaper, the magazines, the radio, everything. This is what we're doing for a brand new candle business and, if you position it correctly and what we did is, we did it as a press release and in fact, if you're inside of the inner circle, I have a whole workshop on how we do press releases. The same exact format got us into Oprah, daily, parade Magazine, yahoo News, all of those and that's from us writing a press release that's intriguing enough for someone to want to do an article about you. So one easy way of doing that is by creating a themed candle around an activity in your town or your city.
Speaker 1Here in Holland Michigan we have what's called tulip time every single May for two weeks the tulips are grown. They come in from the actual Holland, the Netherlands, come here to Holland Michigan, they're planted and they grow, and for in two weeks in May is peak time. Hundreds of thousands of visitors come to our small town or small city and visit. We created a tulip themed candle and two weeks prior to the festival, email all these news stations, the radio, the newspaper. We landed front page on the newspaper with this product. It was small businesses cashing in on two of time type of article, right? Or looking forward to a um, busy two of time season, right? Uh, so that was kind of what the headline was like. And then the news literally came into our house, into our room, that we were making candles in, uh, which was our bedroom, that we had turned into our candle making studio in the house and interviewed us right there.
Speaker 1Like we didn't have stores, we just had our online store. So you don't need to have a brick and mortar store to get recognized or looked at by the media, so don't think that you do. And then in Oprah Daily, we sent a press release over to them and other magazines, basically talking about how we do give back around a certain cause, and they wanted to run an article on that. So those are some ways it's completely free to do all of that. Again, inside of the inner circle, you can go and watch. We have a workshop there for you as well. This has been an exciting seven a week so far.
Speaker 1Now let's talk about a couple of things that kind of has held us back. Uh, we have our. We ordered custom vessels. We ordered perfume bottles. We're going to get into the perfume space with this new brand as well. Uh, we have custom packaging coming.
Speaker 1Uh, so a couple of the hiccups the samples, production they are all coming from over from china. Um, took probably two weeks longer than we hoped, from when we said, yes, create a sample. Here's the template. We thought we were going to get, that they were going to have a sample and show us images of that within like a week to seven days, and it's taken about two weeks. Uh, the samples are made. They look fantastic and they are being mailed to us now. So next week we will have those to show you, we'll have the vessel, we will have the perfume bottle, we will have a two box for the candle vessel and then we're going to have a box for the perfumes as well.
Current Challenges & Next Steps
Speaker 1Now here's another hiccup from the images that they sent to us. They acknowledged this when they sent it and they said hey, the perfume box color isn't quite right, so it looks like it's a little darker, and the image is at least. It's a little darker and it looks just fine. But if you're going to compare it next to the candle box and it's supposed to be the same Pantone color they're going to be different. So, seeing these in person, I'll know that. They said they reassured us that they'll be totally fine when they run the full production. So I want to speed this up and move quickly. So I said, fine, send me this stuff. We're going to look at the quality, we're going to make sure everything is right as far as the safety aspect goes, and then we'll go to an order. And then, of course, they'll have to make sure that the coloring is right, or we just wouldn't accept that order. So that stuff is all on its way here, super excited to share that with you all as it comes.
