Five Reasons For a Home Based Candle Business

When it comes to a home based business and/or network marketing, not many people think about starting a candle business.

Why a candle business? How in the world can you make money with it? What's so special about it?

Here are five reasons to consider a home based candle business.

Reason One -- There's Less Competition. If you've working in a network marketing business, you know there are lots and lots (i.e., hundreds, if not thousands) of health and wellness companies. Candles? There are only around 6 players in the market. Don't you like those odds better?

Reason Two -- Candles are Big Business. If you walk into just about any store, you'll see candles for sale. From grocery stores to department stores to specialty shops, they are everywhere! And why? Because they sell well!

Reason Three -- Candles are Consumable. The ideal network marketing business is based on a consumable product; something that people use and then need to come back for more. Candles are very definitely consumable -- people burn them, love them and want them again.

Reason Four -- They are Reasonably Priced. Anything under $25 tends to be a good price point -- an amount people comfortable spending. Candles tend to be under $25, so they are great impulse buys (so to speak).

Reason Five -- Candles Involve The Senses. Instead of trying to sell a vitamin where you try to explain how the vitamin effects on your body and why you should buy it...candles speak to your senses. They smell wonderful, they make you think of heart and home. You don't have to explain benefits! The candles themselves do all the work.

Here's one more reason to consider an home based candle business -- it's profitable and you can make lots of money. The start-up cost is low (under $40) and the monthly autoship is also low (likewise under $40). You can use your autoship candles, sell your candles for a profit or a little of both!

You can make money with retail sales (imagine that!), fundraising (let other people sell for you) as well as traditional network marketing recruiting.
