It's a candle company, Ulanda!


Missy

OK, thanks Missy, the word "mayors" threw me off smileys/smiley36.gif


~Ulanda

In the ad it explains that the term mayor is used because only one per city will receive the outlinedincentives(the ones listed and additinal ones that will be explained in private emails).

It looks like a Head Consultant may have been found for El Paso, Tx. Still looking for Head Consultants in Dallas, Amarillo, Austin, Houston, Laredo and Tyler...It's known that a lot of candle companies don't make it but what if this one does and you are one of its pioneers...


P.S. The policies outlined on the "Sales Consultant" page of the website are for regular consultants not the ones that will head their indiviual city.Edited by: Luminarias

Thats true that alot of companies dont make it.I would advise anyone starting any kind of company to do your research first.Good luck to you!smileys/smiley1.gif

Yes, you are right. Our research and business plan was done before we went into business in 2005. It's the reason we are starting off with only 20 regular consultants and 7 Head Consultants. That leaves us free to continue expanding our line and to support our ladies in anyway is needed.

Thats great!Sounds like you all have it together!Best wishes to you.smileys/smiley1.gif

Thanks a lot Ashley...same to you!

We have now found our "Austin" Head Consultant and are so excited! Still looking for a Head Consultant in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Tyler! We will offer this position to only one person in cities listed and each will get really great incentives!!!!! Use our "Contact" page to send me an email requesting specific details.

Hey there,


I saw your post...great idea! I wanted to let you know that I am all settled in my new place!!! I was burning "Aloha" and "Spa Day" in the bedroom and bathroom and I already feel like I am home. Guess what I did? I gave the movers a gift bag with two of our 3ounces plus my business card. I got an email this morning from one of the mover's girlfriend. She is interested in getting more info and I invited her to the party I am hosting with Jennifer on the 24th. Anyways, that my news. Thanks again for everything!!!! Oh, Happy Valentine's day!!!


Msbutrfly(Mel)

Hi Mel, sound great! I can't wait to get my kit!


Sandra

OMG, that is so awesome Sandra! I guess I should say "good luck" to you, but you are not going to need it!!!


Mel

Wonderful news....because of this great forum we have found all our "Head Consultants" except for the city of Dallas. If anyone from Dallas is interested please contact us for more detailed information! And even if we don't find a Head Consultant for the Dallas area at this time, this forum has been a wonderful tool!

Hey Pretty Lady,


You are so right, this is a great forum!!! Hey, I didn't know that you were looking for a consultant in the Big D! Do you know how many ladies I know from there!!! In fact, remember Debra who ordered the case of "Little Pumpkins Everywhere", she'd be my first choice. I'll call her and I'll call you...or I'll call you and then call her...we'll talk.


PS. "LPE" should be a signature scent not seasonal...that's just my two cents(scents...hahahaha).


Sara.

Michelle,


I got my candles today! Lovebirds smells great! I'm usually not a peach person, but mixed with pear it's really nice!


I just had to share my opinion!
Missy

Ok, so I love candles. But I can't seem to find what these candles are made of and I want a really clean burning one. I love the one I got from MQ that was soy and the scent is pomegranate. Pomegranate candles seem to be hard to find. Anything in the line that has pomegranate?

Krystal,


Sorry no pomegranate...and no soy either. I am sure the one from MQ was wonderful and I hope you are able to find a suitable alternative.

What are you candles made from?


and


How many levels of commission do you pay residual income on?


Thanks!


Lori

Luminarias currently pays on six levels to Texas consultants.As for what our candles are made from, we use a paraffin blend.Our blend gives us a wonderful cold and warm throw, little to no soot if wick is trimmed and a completely clean jar. These characteristics are really common in most candles whose candlemakers use quality products; so where we try to differ is with our aromas and packaging. We consider our aromas unique using multiple scents that one does not usually find toghether and we paired that with a classic jar with a simple yet modern label.
Thank you for the inquiry~Edited by: Luminarias

I recieved two samples; Romeo& Juliet and the other was Merlot. They really were awesome!! I got the 3 oz size and the scent throw was nice and strong, which did surprise me coming out of that cute jar!





Sandra

Sandra,


That is so aweome to hear...the other scent was "Blackberry Merlot" which is my current favorite ~ it's a blackerry aroma with hints of sage and black tea leaves.

What is a "paraffin blend?"


Lori

I just wanted to second something Missy said, I am totally not a "peach" person either but something about it being mixed with pear and at times I smell hints of cinnamon, whatever the exact combination this is one of my favorites too.

Thanks Mel....


I don't know how the weather is in CorpusChristi today, but here in San Antonio it's absolutely beautiful!!!!


Aloha~

As for what our candles are made from, we use a paraffin blend.Our blend





What is a "paraffin blend?"


Thanks!


Lori

It's a blend of two types of paraffin waxes.... Edited by: Luminarias

Hey girlie...


Weather was great here too!!! I am so busy getting ready for our party this weekend...I have a confirmed 22 people showing up!!! Anyway, I am exhausted so I think I'll pour me a glass of wine and burn me some Aloha "PARAFFIN"!


Have a good one

Wow, 22 people are coming!! Thats awesome. Can't wait to get my candles, it's so exciting!! YOur in Houston right?

I actually just moved to Calallen, right outside of Corpus Christi. I am originally from here so it was an easy move. Yeah 22, a lot of old friends!


Good luck to you, I too was so excited when I got my starter set. All those wonderful scents in those adorable jars. It was like Christmas!

I just thought I'd check in and see if anything was new...I see Mel is bragging again (j/k) so I would like to add that I signed up three new happy consultants this week!


Have a great rest of the week you all!!!!!





Sara

What city are you other ladies in? I'm in the Houston area.


Missy

I'm in the Austin area...

I live on Padre Island which is right near Corpus Christi. Mel and Jennifer live in CC ~ Jen is Michelle's sister(creater of Luminarias) and she is our Head Consultant. Mel just moved back here from Sugarland. It's neat to come across other ladies in other cities selling Luminarias candles. I am the type of person who would not ever sell anything, but I made the exception when Jen mentioned about a year ago that they wanted to direct sale their collection. I had already been a customer and I knew it would be wise to get involved at the beginning because these gems sell themselves!


Sara

Well, it's nice to meet you all! And nice to hear good things about the candles! My favorite thing so far is that Michelle is from my state and has a wonderful grasp on sales tax issues that I've never gotten anyone else to understand!!!


Missy

Well thank you Missy! I do want to say again that thisis a wonderful forum. I have found 3 "Head Consultants" through WAHM and to say that I am excited to have them is almost an understatement.

www.candlesbyluminarias.net (http://www.candlesbyluminarias.net)Edited by: Luminarias

I got my kit with my 25 adorable jars. I absolutely love these candles! Even my husband was impressed. He likes Rodeo! I personally like them all, but my favorites are: Creamsicle, My little Buttercup, Spa Day andMonarch and Cocacabana. Honestly they are all wonderful! I feel like a little kid in a candy store!!

When are you coming up to Oregon?? LOL


Your products look really nice!

Thanks Vickie~


And when do open up in Oregon I'll be looking for you...


Best Wishes,

I love the jar style. I'm allergic to soy candles, so I'm excited to try your product line.

Cool, Melissa! I'm listening for the UPS truck right now! smileys/smiley36.gif


I can't wait until I get a little more $$ and I'm going to try out AJU kits!

Missy,


I didn't realize you are in Houston! I just moved from there last June. Congratulations on being the Head Consultant there! How awesome!


I love that this candle line is NOT in apothecary jars. (Those look so old-fashioned, IMO). These jars are more stylish, and the names are too cute!smileys/smiley32.gif


(Thanks for keeping AJU products in mind! smileys/smiley4.gifI'm loving them, and having theSan Antoniomarket all to myself at the moment is too cool.)

You know Melissa, I agree with you regarding NOT liking the apothecary jars...they are old-fashioned looking, which is not necessarily bad, but I am personally just tired of that look.

Well, UPS boy came today!! My whole family has smelled everything and put their votes in for faves. Out of the 25, there are only about 5 that are not for me, but I know someone else will love them. They're in NO way bad, just not my types. The other 20 fall into the "Hey, that's nice" category (3 scents)to "Wow! I want to burn them all right now" category (17). Not bad ratios if you ask me. smileys/smiley2.gif And yes, the jars have a classier look than apothecary!!!


I love, love, love that this biz in based in TX and the more I say that, the more I realize I just love my state!


My Little Buttercup is quickly becoming my favorite because of the song from The Three Amigos. If you haven't heard it, you can look it up on You Tube. It's a catchy little song.

Congratulations Missy!This is Jen. Enjoy your new venture, I know you took a lot of time to think about things so kudos to you, I am wishing you much success! smileys/smiley4.gif

I know who you are, Jen! smileys/smiley2.gif Thanks for your support and your help in my decision!

No problem smileys/smiley2.gif

I am glad to hear positive feedback regarding the glass used for this collection. It was so important to me that the glassbe simplistic and modern.


P.S. Look forward to meeting you next weekend Melissa...

Hello all,


I had posted under another topic regarding my weekend party, but thought I should post here too. Well, my candle gathering went very well...over 30 guests showed up. I served wine and an assortment of cheese and burned "Monarch" because I thought it went with the mood of the evening. I did very, very well...and even better, I emailed my order in that night(Saturday...actually it was early Sunday)...andmy order hasalready been shipped and I will receive tomorrow! Lucky for me I am off on Wednesdays, so I'll be delivering all day.


Until next time,


Msbutrfly

Msbutrfly,


That is awesome. It's so nice to hear of others' successes! I'm excited to get my samplesfrom Michelle this weekend :-)


I think I'm going to especially like Two to Tango.

I had a good weekend with my candles, sold 6 saturday. Yippie!!


Sandra

Melissa,


"Two to Tango" is incredible...in my opinon anyway


And


Congrats Sandra!!!!!!


Msbutrfly(Mel)

Hi ladies,


Glad everyone is doing well...and in case you did not know, we now have shirts and other really great promotional items on the website. Just click "Place an Order" and there is link to cafepress. I just go my shirt yesterday and it's adorable.


Have a wonderful day~

That's awesome, Michelle! The tees will definitely will help get the word out.

I ordered the shirt, mug and tote and they came in yesterday. I have the mug on my desk and a few girls remarked on it and we started talking about Luminarias and now they want to see my candles. So I'll be bringing some of them in tomorrow, in my new tote!


Sara

Tote bags get a lot of attention! With my former company, I got questions all the time about the logo on my bag---and from complete strangers. smileys/smiley4.gif


I LOVE promotional items you can wear!! Easy advertising!


Have I mentioned how excited I am to try these candles? Well, I can't wait.

I'm having trouble viewing parts of the Luminarias website. Is it just my computer??

What part are you having trouble with? 4 of the pages basically hold the link to PDF files, and the others are coming up for me.


??

Hey fellow Luminarias gals, have you seen the new scent teasers? These will be great to promote our candles, can't wait to get mine!





~Sandra~
Head Austin Consultant

Yes, I love the teasers and glad they're part of the new kit! I need to get some and get out of the house so people can smell them!

Hey Ladies,


Just wanted to say that I was able to get my hands on a few "Teasers" this morning from my Head Consultant... and I totally LOVE THEM!!!!!





Msbutfly

Mel,


I saw Jennifer this morning at Spohn and she and I both had our Luminarias totes...we looked so cute. Anyhoo, I was able to bribe her into letting my buy two Teasers. I just wanted to say that I love them too. I got Midnight Tea and Romeo & Juliet(which is my current favorite scent).


Also, I sold over $100.00 in about 5 minutes at Club Manor and I will be at The Bay today and should sell that if not more!!! And, I hear we landed our first retail shop!smileys/smiley32.gif


SaraEdited by: SaraMohr

It's me again


I wanted to give an update. Earlier I stopped by an apartment complex that purchases candles from me as "Welcome Home" gifts. Well, they had another order and as a Thank you I told Tracey the manager, she could have one of my new Teasers. Of course she would pick Romeo & Juliet. I was gone for about 10 minutes when I realized I left my cellphone behind. When I walked back into the main office(which is huge) I could smell my favorite scent. I had mentioned to Tracey that it could be put on a warmer and she had one in her desk. I could not believe that little thing had some much scent throw.


I know Jen said they were to be "sales tools" but I will not have a problem selling these as well.


Thanks


Sara

I just got mine in, love em!! You are so right Sara, I was thinking samples, now I'm think selling!!

Hadn't checked in a while...super busy. Anything new with you ladies? I've been out of town for almost two weeks training, now thatI am back I may have a lunch party at a new clinic I am helping out next month. There are about 19 people that work their and all but two are women soI should do pertty darn good.


Hey Sara, longtime no see. Are you selling the Teasers???


Mel
