Mom and Pop Home Candle Business



“Mom & Pop Home Candle Business”

We have all heard of “Mom & Pop” businesses. They are generally small family owned establishments with few or no employees that aren't family members. Mom and Pop grocery stores & cafes are (or were) fairly common. My grandparents owned a Mom & Pop Tourist Court (motel) in the 1940's & 50's. Across the street was a family owned drug store, where Pop was the druggist, Mom ran the cash register & their sons manned the soda fountain. They knew most of their customers by name and it wasn't uncommon to score a free soda or piece of candy once in a while “just for stopping in”.


Unfortunately, a lot of these friendly small business were forced to close with the emergence of Holiday Inns, Wal-Marts, & the rest of the “Big Chains”. Some of these Mom & Pop operations had been doing business for generations. As they disappeared, so did the familiarity between customers and owners. Gone was the feeling that your business was appreciated as was the one on one customer service.


So what if I told you that you could have a Mom & Pop Home Candle business? The candle industry is a $2 Billion industry and growing. Candles are a consumable product (high reorder rate) and are popular for both personal use and gift giving. Retired couples, young couples starting out, and couples in college looking for a way to earn extra income, are just a few examples of who could build a successful candle business from home.


This business has a low start-up cost (less than $50) and is YOUR business to operate as you wish. You set your prices based on what your profit goals are. You have three ways to earn income:


Retail, Fund Raising & Residual.


Retail includes friends, family, co-workers, craft shows & expos, spas, salons, & life styling. (a fancy way of saying “talk to everybody about your business”).

Fund Raising is a year round way to earn. Sports teams, church groups, school clubs, day care centers, animal shelters and more are always looking for easy ways to raise money.

Residual Income is the best way to establish long term income. Build a team and earn commissions on your team member's sales. We offer commissions 6 levels deep. 10% on level 1 and 6 and 5% on levels 2 through 5.


By working with your spouse, partner or significant other you can pool your talents and strong points. Maybe one of you is more outgoing and likes to talk to people while the other one is more comfortable working the business online. And before you say it: YES men CAN sell candles! We have many extremely successful men in our company including the three founders.


This is a great opportunity to build a business from the comfort of your own home, on your own schedule, and be able to spend time and have fun with that special someone.
