Welcome to Flame Makers Custom Candles periodical newsletter

Well, I can't believe it's May already! I though it was supposed to be spring, but the weather here seems to think differently. What a drag!! Anywho....I've been extremely busy over the past few months researching, testing, and developing new things for you. So much has gone on in fact, that I couldn't put it all in the "What's Burning in the Shop" section, so here it all goes:::

Let's start with our new fragrances!! How about 16 of them!!! Some are going to be limited to our Bath & Body collection only, however, they may be available for candle products if there is enough of a demand for it...soooooooo....if ya want them for candles.....let me know!!

There has finally come a time where I need to discontinue some of the fragrances I offer. Fragrance manufactures are developing new scents almost as fast as gasoline prices are rising, and the selection is just tremendous. As a matter of fact, one of my suppliers now carries over 400 different fragrances. While I am most interested in providing my customers with a wide variety, I must discontinue some of my slowest selling fragrances so that I can make way for more of the newer, more trendy options. On that note.....in an effort to clear this inventory, all candle products ordered w/ these fragrances will be offered at a 15% discount! As always...if there is a particular fragrance that I don't carry that you are interested in, let me know and I'll see if I can get it. There may be a slight up charge associated with this, but I will let you know. Please note that quantities of these discontinued fragrances are limited so there might not be enough stock to complete your order. If this is the case I will notify you promptly!

Bath & Body Collection
The Bath & Body collection has been a great success. Many thanks to everyone and I hope you all have enjoyed the products ordered. Well...to further enhance this collection, I am very proud to introduce our collection of "Splash" moisturizing body mists. Many months have been invested in developing the formulation, packaging, labeling, etc.., and I anticipate these new offerings to be just as successful, if not more than our hand lotions. I'd also like to present a nice gift package for the ultimate bath & body lover in your family. I'm also focusing on introducing some new fragrances designed for the guys!!
Moisturizing body mist

"Splash" Moisturizing Body Mist

Our long anticipated "Splash" Moisturizing Body Mists are finally here. After you bath, shower, or any time you need a little refresher...just give it a little spray. Not only will you be smelling fantastic, our body mist will help moisturize your skin also. Available in a 2oz and 4oz size

Wholesale, Candle Consultants, Affiliates
I'm in the process of re-developing my wholesale accounts and candle consultants. While I greatly appreciate all the interest that has been expressed, I need to put all new accounts on hold for a little while. The major changes are needed in our shopping cart system. There needs to be a tremendous amount of work in re-programming the shopping cart software to accept these new pricing structures and programs. I anticipate the changes to be completed by the end of June. At the same time, I'm looking into developing an affiliate program....so, If you have a website of your own and are interested in making some extra spending cash...stay tuned! During this re-programming, the shopping cart may experience some very minor down time. I don't expect this to be anything extensive as all of the programming work will be done offline and finally uploaded when completed!


 

That's it for this issue. Thanks for reading, and don't forget to tell your friends about us, after all....just about everyone loves candles!
Best Wishes and here's lookin forward to great summer!,
