CREATE AND LAUNCH YOUR OWN RETAIL-READY AROMATHERAPY WOOD-WICK CANDLE LINE
Turn your love for candles into a retail candle line! Join us at my Raw Candle Bar and learn how to make retail-ready Aromatherapy Candles for your business. If you already have a pulse on the candle market, you know that wellness candles are the next big thing. Today’s health-conscious candle lover is seeking out candles (much like they do diffusers) to enhance their environment and their well-being (think Meditation Candles for homes and spas). Our well-being has now become one of our top priorities, and we must always make sure it is taken care of properly. One way to do that, is by burning wellness candles in our living spaces.
This Masterclass focuses on how to create aromatherapy wood-wick candles to meet this growing demand in a 543 million dollar candle market. You will choose your own curated ingredients from mood-boosting therapeutic grade essential oils and clean-burning waxes to gemstones and wooden wicks that are biodegradable and environmentally safe. From aromatherapy knowledge to labelling to branding, we’ve got you lit in candle goodness!
Get my personal insider tips and strategies for starting and growing a retail candle brand in today’s market. I’ve successfully sold my products in Whole Foods Market, Chapters Indigo and The Shopping Channel for 7 years and now I’m breaking it all down for you. I’ll walk you through my top-selling Aromatherapy Candles, discuss packaging, pricing, retail labeling, branding, marketing and more. This course is filled with practical and proven business lessons, advice, recipe tutorials and demonstrations. You’ll be presented with a Certificate of Completion and make your very own aromatherapy wood-wick candle on that day (plus tea lights and a wellness roll-on).
