VLOG | Starting a Candle Business From the Very BEGINNING! Successes & Failures
I'm starting this business in France so I can pratice more in the candle making. The market is smaller then america but I hope it will works.
@@HamyBerry best of luck! I’d love to know how your launch goes!
your product quality presentation is so amazing but do you know why your video is not getting the expected views? Your channel needs some updates to increase the view
Great video. Absolutely love the packaging. If someone orders from you do you pay for shipping or does your customer pay shipping? If your customer pays for shipping, can you do a video on how it’s done on a state to state basis ( just a few states will be suffice).
Hey! So I have a standard shipping rate. However, if the customers order is over 30 dollars it’s free! It incentivizes larger orders, and ensures I won’t go in the red due to shipping costs on a cheap item
Loved your video, and you're right about the wood wicks. There's nothing better than that crackle! Could you share where to get that wide of a wood wick? I'm new to candle making and only want to make them for personal use. I'm still in the process of finding quality supplies.
Yes! I personally get mine from Amazon. It’s the 1 inch wide one! I can find the link for you if you’d like
Nice box and creation
@@YungDonDazzle thank you so much!
Great video!! Thank you!
@@melaniepierre6762 No problem! Thank you!!
Do you mind sharing exactly who you used on Alibaba for your product boxes and vocals. Thanks buddy
Hey! Absolutely. Here is the link to the supplier I used: sumeear.aliexpress.com/store/1101429672?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.2.44c31802ZOsXIm
Thank you so much buddy
I been following you since you started your journey. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your experiences
Thank you so much! I appreciate you following along!
Very nice
Thank you!!
I love it. I’m new at this also. Can you share who exactly you use on Alibaba for your product boxes and vials. Thanks buddy
Great information! Thanks
@@shaquitasims8928 no problem!
Absolutely amazing thank you keep up the good work
@@lynnjones9030 thank you so much!! 😊
so this translate to 25% fragrance oil and 75% carrier oil?
@@caidic4902 that is correct! This formula works for this particular fragrance oil I am using
@@knightlightcandleco thank you!
I noticed you were wearing a Bucs t-shirt. Do you sell your products in the Tampa area? What markets? I live in Tampa and would love to see your booth. Thx!
@@anamirwald3346 hey! So I’m originally from St.Pete! However, due to my current W2 job I had to move to Maryland, so I’ve been here for the last 6 years. Huge Bucs fan though! If you would like, please shoot me an email at knightlightcandle@gmail.com, id love to keep in touch should I ever do anything in the area!
Good job🎉
do you create carpet freshener?
@@paulinefisher1493 hey! I haven’t delved into that world yet! But if I do, I’ll be sure to make a video on it!
Thanks you didn't list were you get the product from the lityle jars
He said Amazon
Hey! So I get the jars from Amazon!
Awesome, very helpful video 👍 thanks!! The fall season is approaching… and I’m going to need a hoodie and cap 🧢 It’s a beautiful day here in SC and I’m rocking my T-shirt from you guys- “I’m Lit” 🔥Showing some love and support for your business!!! 💯 Thanks again for sharing- transparency!! 💜
@@deeg5588 you are the best! I appreciate all of your support!!
Great video bro! We are in the process of labeling after finally getting through the testing phase. I love your newest labels! Your older templates were dope.
@@GarrickBrownArtStudio thank you brother! I’d love to see your final product!
I love the looks of your labels but i wouldn't at all use the words gross or disgusting to describe your old labels! LOL I think they were good! 😊 thanks for sharing!
@@melissapeterson4202 haha thank you so much! I wish I had a picture of my first ever candle I sold. That was indeed disgusting 😅
That’s Awesome 🎉
Love the packaging and straight-to-the-point video.. Great job bro 🫡.. Much success to you.
Thank you so much!
Positive vibes only!!! 💯 Thanks for the words of encouragement! 👍Btw, I thank you for my order. I love everything about my items that I purchased. My candle smells amazing and I love the material and fit of my T-shirt. Your packaging from your candle vessel/ lid, the box, the tissue paper and the little thank you goodies are very nice. 😊 I mostly appreciate your handwritten thank you note to me with my order! Love the energy that I felt- like my order was definitely made with love and handled with care!!! You and your team are lit 🔥 I’ll order again soon!!! Thanks again! 💜
@@deeg5588 thank you so much for the kind words Dawn! I’m so happy you loved everything! And please know that we do sincerely mean it when we say we value you! I also received the note you wrote via our contact form! I haven’t been by a computer to write back yet, but please know I will! I’m happy everything arrived in good condition as well! I get nervous with this nationwide heat wave 😩.
I love your lids sir!! They are dope! Where did you get them engraved? And did you purchase them at the same place?
@@jimmyboney7173 thank you! Yes, I got them from my supplier on Alibaba. They can customize the lids for you!
@@knightlightcandleco Thank you sooo much for your reply sir! I will check that website out. Thanks again, and keep doing a great job. I love your channel.
@@jimmyboney7173 thank you so much for the support! If you need any help navigating Alibaba feel free to reach out!
That is great. Which business credit card did you use? I never know if I will get approved because my finances are not well outlined. Discuss about business finance mgt… thank you.
So I actually use the Amex Amazon Prime business card! When I first started a few months ago most of my supplies came from Amazon so I could get 4x the points for purchases with that card!
Alibaba is awesome
@@Sherrie_Martin agreed!
I was blessed with having another business to finance my candle company.
Come on promo!!# 🎉✊🏿🙌🏿
Dom your page is awesome. Do you have a business FB Page to follow

Nice!!!!! The lids are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@calvinpatton4096 thank you! I love the new lids too! Very excited to roll them out with our candles now!
@@knightlightcandleco I want to do the same with my bamboo lids, but them Glowforge prices..........LoL
@@calvinpatton4096 check out Alibaba! I had to buy 300 jars but it came with the custom lids and my price per jar went down significantly from sourcing locally! Quality jars and lids too. I’m very happy. Takes a bit longer to come but was worth the wait.
@@knightlightcandleco will do! Thanks!!!
Awesome job!! Way2Go!!! 👍Thanks so much for sharing this video. Every time I watch your videos. I feel like this information is what I need to hear to help me move forward with my candle- making business. “Empowered people, empower people” 💯 I’d love to support your business by making a purchase. How do I do that? Do you have a website for your candle 🕯 business? Thanks again and Congrats 👍🥳🎉🍾
Thank you so much! I agree with you 100%. I believe we can all achieve great things when we have each other to rely on! And yes! My website is www.knightlightcandleco.com Thank you again for your continued support!
@@knightlightcandleco hey there 👋 I just placed my order and I can’t wait for my shipment to arrive!! I’m about to promote your business on my end of the map 🗺 with my T-shirt, car disfusser and candle!!! 💯 Your website is well executed, nicely designed and user friendly!!! 👍👍 Continued success and blessings! 💜
@@deeg5588 Thank you so much!! I can’t express how much that means to me! I’m getting your order ready right now!
Congratulations! Wow you are doing good.
Thank you so much! Hopefully we can keep it up. I think it's going to be quite a bit tougher this coming quarter 😬
@@knightlightcandleco l have faith on you. You will do well. Keep going All the best.
Man that W2 job!!! I felt that. I'm in the same boat bruh. Great video... We appreciate your transparency.
@@GarrickBrownArtStudio brother! They have me going out of town from the 12th-19th and I have a fair on the 20th and 21st. Haha I’m in hyper mode trying to get everything ready and packed before I have to leave.
Congratulations Dom!!! I'm thrilled for your success!!!
Thank you so much! Hopefully we can keep improving!
Love it
Thank you!!
Good idea, what about longevity especially with sun ? have you tried it ?
Yep I have it in my car currently. As the summers have gotten hotter, they certainly don’t last as long, but still surpassing a regular car freshener in my opinion. I’m on week 3 with my current diffuser and it is running low now. But the sun will dry out the cap more frequently
Looking good bro!
Love it!! 💯This is what positivity looks like, enhanced by a good smelling candle! What a perfect combination!!! This vibe is fire 🔥
Thank you so much! I’m excited to roll these out! Everyone can use some positive words, especially paired with a nice scent to create the perfect vibe
Hi, I’m new to this and wanted to try making diffusers for our market days. I’m confused about all the IFRA stuff. I have a few fragrances, Monkey Farts that says 15% skin safe and then a leather that says 0% skin safe. Can these be used in the diffuser?
Hey! So if it says 15% technically you can use it but only 15% of your diffuser recipe can be fragrance oil. The other one I would not use at all. I typically only use oils that are recommended at 25% due to my recipe and a stronger and longer lasting diffuser
Very informative video, thank you!!
No problem at all! Thank you 😊
What temp is the desired temp for adding fragrance and pouring?
For me specifically, I typically do an immediate adding of the FO at about 190. I let the wax cool to about 140-150 for pouring. That has worked great for me!
U just need hot water and it’ll come right off:)
Do you recommend getting someone to do the website for you? I signed up for Shopify, but I haven’t tried to set the website up yet. It seems a bit overwhelming.
It can definitely be overwhelming. If you aren’t very familiar with how a website should be set up (such as myself) I would highly recommend getting someone to do it. It can be a bit pricey, but in my opinion it’s a good investment. You can also go to Etsy and buy a template someone has already created and just fill in your brand details :)
Gracias por compartir, soy nueva suscriptora e hice un maratón con tus videos 😊
Thank you so much for the support!
Haz un tutorial de los wicks k tu usas
Great job! 🎉
Thank you! 😁
Really enjoyed this video bro 😎
Thank you! 🙏🏾
Hi there! I don’t understand how you guys are getting these to smell like anything. I use the same base and even tried a different one and did the same ratio and 3 different scents and from a lighter one to my strongest and you can only smell it for a couple of minutes after you tip it. I’m glad you got yours to put off a good scent in your car. I have to test more before I add it to my items. Thanks for the video!!
Hmm I’m not sure exactly what may be the problem. Make sure the fragrance you are using is approved for the reed base. Make sure you are following the IFRA guidelines as well. (I should have went over that as well).
@@knightlightcandleco thank you for responding! Yes I watched a video with that information. I’ll double and triple check though to make sure before I give up. I appreciate you!
I'm getting the same results 😢
So do I flip it til top gets wet ? Thank u looks like a great idea .
Yup! The liquid will saturate the top and disburse the scent!
Oh ok nice thank u ☺️
Hi Dominique, don't forget to include your time and if you need to research and development on new products when you are figuring your COGS as well as other overhead items like labels, packaging, etc. I hope these do well for you!
Certainly! These have been great for me so far! I actually sold out the last fair I did
Heyyyy 👋 I look forward to watching your videos! You drop a plethora of information about candle- making and the business side of candle- making. I am truly inspired by your content, your positive vibe and your support. I needed to watch this video because I’ve been stuck for a while now about moving forward with my candle- making business/ journey. A huge thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! ❤💯
I cant express to you enough how much I appreciate that! I hope that I can continue bringing everyone content that not only provides information to help us grow as candle businesses, but also motivates and inspires when we think things aren't going as great. That is why I aim to be completely transparent in this journey! I am enjoying making these videos. I feel like not only may I be helping someone, but I feel like you all are helping me as well and for that I am super grateful!
@@knightlightcandleco keep doing what you are doing! Be your authentic self!! You are reaching people and encouraging us to aim high and dream big- no limits!!! And that’s my takeaway from your videos and I definitely appreciate it!! 💯👍👍🥰
