Help!!

I'm new at this and I don't know where to start. My fiance and I are EMTs and just started a small candle business. Our candles are customizable with any color and any scent that the customer wants and they come in specialty glasses but I haven't had many views or any sales yet. I need help!! Any ideas?

Re: Help!!

People can buy candles anywhere, you have to make your candles special and stand out from the crowd. I recommend better descriptions and photography. Also, you should pre-make some candles with a variety of scents and a variety of glasses so the customer can get more of an idea of how to customize if they so wish. And someone might like the sound of one of the pre-made ones and buy it. Have several listings with your pre-made candles. Just a couple listings that says "I will make a customized candle for you" isn't enough. Consider giving your scents names that stand out from the rest, and evoke a mood. For example "Key Lime Pie" sounds better than just a "Lime" scented candle.

Re: Help!!

Thank you Jeanne for your advice. We also have pre - made ones that we have posted on our shop. And thanks so much for the advise on advertising the names. And to Kathy I did ask a question I asked if someone had any ideas to make me better.
