Increasing the Size of my Candle Business

Posted by Sam on July 13, 2009

For as long as I can remember, I have been in love with candles.  I love the way that they smell and how they can make a room feel warm and comfortable.  So I guess it comes as no surprise that I became a consultant for a candle company and that is how I make my living.

I can attribute my success to many things, but I think that it is my charm and my passion for my product that helps me to succeed.  In fact, last year was my best ever and I even eclipsed my husband’s earnings for the first time ever.

But when he saw how well I was doing, he decided that he was going to have to compete with me to see who could make the most this year.  Whoever wins will get a brand new car, so I am going to do what it takes to win.

I have purchased some direct mailing lists and will be sending out some information packages in hopes of getting some new recruits.  I know the last time that I tried direct mail marketing I picked up twenty new consultants and it has been a few years since I have done that, so hopefully it will work as well this time.

Needless to say, it will be interesting to see who wins, but in the end, if I can increase the size of my candle business and do better than last year, I will be happy.
