Let's talk about business || a day in my life as a small business owner

Come and spend a day in my life as a small business owner! Our typical Monday at work and answering all your frequently asked questions.
We are a hand-poured all-natural candle studio in Sydney Australia! We started this idea based on the lack of scents suited to our liking so we created The Candle Bar. Your person, your memory, your place, your scent. Our main objective is to bring the most amazing smelling candles to your space, all whilst helping our Earth in mind. We donate $1 from every order to a charity that helps the earth :) Follow along our journey!

Would love more Q+A like you did here answering people’s questions

[@sent.studio]

We love Q&A!! Will definitely try to do more

[@amyprofitspecialist]

Your video gave a glimpse into the real work that goes into your candle business, and it's clear you're passionate about what you do. The honesty and transparency in your responses are refreshing. I'm looking forward to your studio tour - I'm sure it will be fantastic!

[@lynnthomas8848]

You are so organized, especially seeing how crowded and cramped you are! I hope a new space is on the horizon.

[@sent.studio]

Aww thank you! We try to keep it as tidy and organised as possible since our space is soo small 😅 Stay tuned 👀

[@constancedgordon4]

Good to see you guys! I always love watching your videos. You girls have done an amazing job with your brand even from launch and I look up to you both! Hoping to get over the fear of launching my own candle business soon. It's definitely the hardest part!! 😣

[@sent.studio]

Thank you for supporting us!! You can do it! It really is the hardest part but it's worth it in the end

[@jordanruth0809]

When I say I am absolutely so grateful to have seen this video. First time watching and not a click bait video. Definitely a new subscriber ❤️

[@sent.studio]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@zlatkakabaivanova2954]

You are awesome! Your packaging and branding is just perfect! Would you mind sharing how you print your labels - they seem to be on bigger sheets than the usual letter-sized sheets. I would also love to see a video on what changes you made as you scaled up, and what was the threshold (reaching what monthly order volume). Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@sent.studio]

Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot! Ooo i love these questions, I will keep it in mind for our next videos

[@thegoldenstandardtexas]

Yes, I'm curious what printer you use, I have struggled with multiple printers and can't get my bigger labels to come out clear and color correct. Do you use Canva and where do you get your labels from (Avery/Online Labels)? Thanks girls, I LOVE your videos.. so wish you posted more, you are truly an inspiration!

[@tamonwancharoensripongsa4740]

Hi! Thanks for sharing this. I recently launched a small business in Melbourne. This video really motivates me to keep pushing through.

[@sent.studio]

Best of luck! It’s a tough journey but it’s so worth it

[@NiroshAsantha]

Candle making Now and Before would be a useful video. :)

[@sent.studio]

Such a good idea! We’ll add it to our list

[@MJ-oz8wo]

Hello. I would love to see how you mass produce your candles. You both are doing amazing by the way!

[@nataliepaterson292]

Hey gorgeous lady Just a quick question whereabouts did you get your logo? Put on your candle lighters. And with trimmers. Thanks Natalie

[@lisawalker7923]

How did you come up with wick size. I love the crackling wicks

[@JMICTHEBRAND.]

What size of individual Candlebox do you use? And what size of shipping boxes do you use to ship them in? Where do you get your shipping boxes at? Uline?Uline?

[@ItsJessie915]

Where are your candle tins from

[@LittleGreyDove]

Do you print the labels for packaging and candle tins yourself? And if so what printer/printing service do you recommend? I know you shared what you use for a printer in a previous video but I was wondering if that’s changed at all. ❤

[@sent.studio]

Yes we used to print both our packaging and candle labels ourselves. Now, we don't do it anymore as we just recently launched our new branded mailers. Our candle labels are now outsourced from a local printer :)

[@pranavpatel1369]

Great content ❤ when you were in your garage, did you ship orders from there? If so, didnt you have any privacy concerns?

[@sent.studio]

We did, however we got a PO Box as our registered address, so that’s what was on the labels :)

[@alexng4603]

Been watching your video, getting me excited to start my own clothing e-commerce. I'm just curious which service do you use to print the custom sticker label for the box? or do u guys print them yourself cause it's pretty cool. and what is the process? becuase printing them one by one is not time efficient right?

[@sent.studio]

You can do it! The hardest part is to start. We printed them on A4 sheets ourselves and most of the time we printed 3 per page and cut it out. Definitely not the most efficient but was a crucial part of our branding

[@im____lc]

Lovely video like always. Question: how is the HP Printer tha you have in the office?? Working fine? It's only b/w or it's a laser color?? Thanks 🙏🏻

[@sent.studio]

It’s good. It’s a laser colour printer

[@im____lc]

@@sent.studio The toner last long? Thanks ❤

[@HayleyLBond]

Hey guys!! I just found your videos today and have been watching few a couple in excitement for launching my activewear label in a couple of months… what shipping label printer do you use if you don’t mind me asking? 🥰🤗🙏 thank you!!

[@sent.studio]

That’s soo exciting! Congratulations and god lunch with launch 🤗 we use the dymo 4XL for shipping labels

[@HayleyLBond]

@@sent.studio thank you so much!!!

[@HandmadebyDiana]

Hi there, from Vic Aus, love your little business, wish i could start my own. Just wondering was it deliberate that your name is Spelt "Sent" as in posted? and not "Scent" as in Aroma, sorry for the curiosity but it was the first thing i noticed. by the way i think i might have to order some, my sister loves candles. xx

[@sent.studio]

Hiii! Yes it was 🤗 it’s a play on word of ‘scent’ but also because our business is all about custom candles, creating scent that link back to memories, we decided on ‘sent’ to allow for the play of words like ‘sent for’, ‘sent to’ etc

[@HandmadebyDiana]

@@sent.studio Ohh now that makes Sense, I love it !! 😍

[@Maria-tq8ck]

are you still in business?

[@sent.studio]

Yes we are 🤗

[@annynantasiri]

been following you guys since last year. really appreciate both of you and thank you for sharing your biz vlog with us🥹 hope you guys could share more about the marketing operation and how do you guys manage it. I learned so much from your pre-launch and influencers vlog.

[@sent.studio]

Aww thank you for following along! Yes that’s such a good idea and we’d love to share more! *added to my video list*
