I love your transparency!

[@highlandhomefragrance]

Amazing work Erica and Chris! It's been incredible to watch your Faire journey from the start. I signed up with your referral link and have been selling candles here in Australia via Faire and credit my success to your videos - without your videos on Faire I would have been so lost! Thank you SO much for these! x Alicia

Always appreciate the transparency, it really is helpful! How do you think small businesses can determine when they're ready to sell wholesale/on Faire specifically? I want to sign up but am unsure if I'm really ready!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Great question! This can be really hard because every small business is so different! The most simple way is to ask yourself, “if someone ordered 100 candles from me right now, would I be able to fulfill it?” This of course is VERY general, and there are many varying factors, but it puts you in the mindset of IF you could do it if you needed to. In my experience, most retailers order around 24 candles on average so it’s never usually as much as 100.. but it COULD be and you will want to be prepared for it ❤️

I've been hesistant to launch on Faire but this is kicking my butt to do it in time for the summer market!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

You can do it!! It take a lot of time and focus to get your shop up but it can be worth it! ❤️

[@georgina1921]

Congratulations to you and Chris! This is so wonderful to see you guys growing your business and your family. Thank you for sharing this with us. It’s so inspirational.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you so much!! So glad it was inspirational for you! ☺

Super insightful! Thanks for sharing :) What about your candles do you think has set you apart from the rest? Pricing, scent options, branding?

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Honestly I spent SOO much time on our shop. The listing photos, the descriptions and brand story. I spent a ton of time filling everything out to the best of my ability. I have had multiple retailers tell me that the main listing photo caught there eye and made them purchase! I think the main photo is Super important! It has to stand out among the rest

[@_jesusnunez]

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo Oh! That's awesome. Thanks for the reply :) That makes a lot of sense. I know my question is a bit Sales 101 but it would make sense that it's the hook/branding. Just so you know, I'm cheering you on from Florida!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

@@_jesusnunez the branding sells the product and the product quality and customer service keeps them coming back :)

[@brandylucas1783]

Congratulations! 🎉 Do you make these to order?

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you! And yes we make to order! ❤

[@cathywilliams9075]

What do you think has kept up that momentum? Do you often list new products?

[@ClearMountainProvisions]

Do you do any sort of wholesale marketing? Or do you rely solely on word of mouth?
