Picture Yourself In Your Own Candle Business From Home....
The Real Question is: How Do You Earn Income - Right?
What really excited me about our opportunity was the marketing plan and the multiple ways I could earn income. Let me share them with you and see if you can see the potential and how our candle business opportunity could make a difference in your life, your family, your finances and your future.
1. Retail Sales:
Retail Sales encompasses a lot of areas and what's exciting is there's something for everyone! You can put cash in your pocket your first day in the business and make sales daily by word of mouth and sharing (what we like to call "lifestyling") your business. You don't have to quit your job or really change your life to do it. Start with those you know and those you come in contact with on a daily basis in your travels. It really is easy with our "Show and Smell" technique so start thinking - who do you know who burns scented candles?
You can sell one-on-one, through home parties or home gatherings, catalog sales and more. You have the flexibility of designing your own Home Party Plan type business if you wish and that is a huge and successful market.
You can sell via business expos and events, festivals, fairs, bazaars and the like.
Some distributors even make crafts with our candles that enable them to get into the finer craft shows. Others design gift baskets. Yet others specialize in Corporate Gifts. The Corporate Gift market is big business and something most every business person needs to show their thanks and appreciation for their customers. Candles make great housewarming gifts too - so how about Realtors and those in that industry?
Plus your candle business distributorship includes a ready-to-go shopping cart equipped website that makes retailing on the internet a breeze. The company packs, ships, processes payments and pays YOU your share of those sales. How is that for EASY?
Retail Sales allow you to make instant double-your-money profits to finance the advancement of your business, additional inventory, business supplies and promotional materials, advertising and most of the other costs associated with building a successful business. Over time the profits will put cash in your pocket and enable you to grow and expand by reinvesting part of your profits back into your business.
Retail Sales are also the springboard to establishing relationships, gaining loyal customers and ultimately some new distributors on your team. Through retailing you will come in contact with people that will not only see the merits and value of our cleaner burning candles but the merits of the business opportunity we offer also!
2. Fundraising:
How many organizations, clubs, churches, civic groups, schools and charities are looking to raise money through fundraising? There are many just right in your hometown! The numbers might surprise you and there are lots of groups looking to fundraise in your town, city, county and state!
You can offer these groups a tangible fundraising program with handsome profits (making it worthwhile to the group) and an impressive incentive program (making it worthwhile to the participants to sell more). You will be able to hit the ground running and approach the groups that have fundraising needs and offer them a viable solution through our gourmet candle fundraisers.
Our team offers several fundraising portfolio options for you to use and present to these types of groups which you can customize with your personal information and alter based on the group and local area needs. These are ready-to-go and literally there is no guesswork involved. Once you learn the program and how to present it you can become a fundraising success! Do one successfully and word spreads. It can become another great income source and could lead to lots of referrals and reorders for your candles!
3. Residual Income:
Residual Income is an incredible concept...it's the one that keeps on paying even when you aren't working! Think on that one and how that might benefit you and your family as far as time freedom free of financial worry.
You have to realize that with any business there is work involved. However with Residual Income there is neat part in the end result. Not to deceive you because in the beginning you work a lot for not a lot of money. But as duplication and growth take place in the end you find yourself working little for a lot of money. How is that for a reversal of fortune?
It intrigued me. Because fact is we all need to work - or at least the greater majority of us unless we have a huge inheritance. Working in the traditional sense basically trades our time for money. No matter what field we are in - be it a clerk or a CEO, a doctor or a lab technician, a receptionist or an engineer and everywhere in between. College educated or not. Fact is, we trade time for money every day in the Corporate World.
Don't put in the time - you don't get paid. It's really that simple. And even if you do have a lot of flexibility in your workplace is your time really your own? Are you the writer of your own destiny or for the most part is there still someone or something that tells you how much you have to work to get paid? And that promise of getting ahead - does it really come true without working harder or putting in more hours?
SO CAN YOU IMAGINE A BUSINESS WHERE YOU SHARE A CANDLE EVERYONE ALREADY LOVES AND EVENTUALLY YOU CAN MAKE MORE MONEY WITHOUT TRADING MORE TIME? HOW WOULD THAT CHANGE YOUR LIFE?
Residual Income comes from a referral based marketing program. Sometimes called Network Marketing or MLM (Multi Level Marketing). If you have any preconceived notions about what that means please read the section of this website about Network Marketing and you will have access to some exciting information about the industry that will make you realize you already engage in Network Marketing every day - by basis of referrals and recommendations you DON'T get paid for.
Imagine this because it really is this simple:
YOU enjoy a cleaner burning candle that burns practically soot free.....
You get excited and tell a handful of your contacts....they get excited and become distributors....thus creating you some income. But then....
They get excited and tell a handful of their contacts and they become distributor. Creating you some more income. But then....
Those people fall in love with the candles and tell some of their contacts...and more become distributors. More income. But then....
More candle lovers spread the word to their contacts....meaning more distributors and more income....and so on.
Think about that scenario:
In the beginning you did the work by telling your contacts and maybe help them telling their contacts. Referral Marketing! Plain and simple. From there on out you teach people to teach people. The business on a residual side takes on a life of it's own and before long you have a whole group of distributors Network Marketing - sharing a product and opportunity with others - and you get a piece of that business. For more information on how that works visit our homepage by clicking HERE and visit the links titled Compensation Plan and Residual Income Potential on the left hand side.
Notice in the scenario above it was about people sharing a candle and an opportunity to earn additional income from home with their contacts. This business really isn't about badgering your friends and family. Which made me really happy because I've done Network Marketing in the past and didn't like feeling I was about to join the N.F.L. Club (No Friends Left) because I was being advised to talk to my friends and family.
The beauty of this business is I was simply sharing a good product - a cleaner burning candle - a product I truly believed in and felt was superior to other candles on the market. No one among my friends and family has ever felt intimidated about my business or my products. Actually members of my family and friends approached me (when the timing was right for them) over my years in the business wanting to change from being my candle customer to owning their own candle business at home. I didn't "sell" anyone....how neat is that?
This is about sharing with your contacts and building this business on your terms and fitting with your lifestyle. As such there are many options open to you which we can discuss. Those include marketing your business on the internet, social networking to make business contacts and even lead coops that deal in individuals who are already looking to start a candle business from home. This is a referral marketing business so the more contacts you make the faster it builds and we are here to help you build a successful home candle business!
