revealing my best and worst business purchases of 2024 (for my soap and candle shop).

[@EleveHandmade]

My worst purchase in history: an electric bath bomb press.. it was expensive and bulky, and to this day I've only used it twice.. maybe 3 times 😢😢😢.

[@Jessicaakathesoaplady]

I got one of those too and only used it once

[@gobrunch7324]

Your soap and candle shop sounds amazing, and it’s inspiring to see how you’re growing your business 🙌

[@EleveHandmade]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️

I love the car diffuser, I never seem to have enough of them in stock. I will be getting rid of wax melts not a huge seller for me at all.

[@EleveHandmade]

That's awesome to hear about car diffusers for you!! Do you make a large batch then put them in each diffuser or do you make them one at a time?

[@craftychicdesign]

@EleveHandmade I make about 8 of each scent which right now I only have 3 scents

[@xyngchic]

My most regretful purchase is all of the sample size fragrance oils….only to dislike them.

[@EleveHandmade]

💯! Nothing more disappointing than that.

[@vidadulce]

So excited for your podcast!! It would be amazing if you could share links to the "best" products.

[@EleveHandmade]

That's a great idea! Thank you 😍. I'll definitely work on that.

I’d love a video on your photography. I recently came across clubback drops - what do you think of their products?

[@EleveHandmade]

Hello, I have some ideas for a dedicated photography series! Maybe I'll take a look at it again. I have 4 Club Backdrops, I really like them!

Omg o have a few things but 10 45lbs soap mold and then I slowed down on making soap

[@EleveHandmade]

Wow! That is one big soap mold 🤣. Did you decide to go another direction?

[@Jessicaakathesoaplady]

@ yes I been selling since 2019 soap sales are not as profitable as other products that I sell plus my bars last a while

[@charmainethomas2073]

I have a question can I use apricot cream wax to make my wax tarts?

[@EleveHandmade]

Hi there- you can, but I would mix a percentage of a stiffer wax with it, to have it last longer.

[@ashleywilliams1632]

Pre-made labels. I have changed my formula and ingredients as times have progressed. Wasted labels that have ingredients I no longer use.

[@EleveHandmade]

Ohhh that is the worst!! That has happened to me several times.. ugh!
