Well I have gone to some of the sites that have been sent to me and I am very impressed so far. I am a straight out person however and like many I enjoy to be told by people that have gone through the process of the business to tell me how much it officially is to start off. I am some-what limited in my means and would like to find out exactly how much it is to start off. I am very excited about starting my business and can't wait to find out more from the experiences that others have gone through here. I thank you all for the very fast responses and cannot wait to find out more from you. Thank you

Hi Brian!

How do you see yourself working the business?

Different people like, by nature, different avenues. All 3 (retail, fundraising, team building) are profitable, but are approached a little differently.

Basic start-up is by joining the Candle Of The Month (COTM) program. It's an autoship program and every month you will receive:
(1) 16oz. Jar Candle
(1) Pack of Votives (QTY 12)
(1) Bella Bar
plus you can purchase any of our products at the wholesale price and Included in the package is a website to market your business.
All this for $39.95 plus s&h. (around $50/mo)

In addition there are also start-up package options. You can see those here: http://ahurst.scent-team.com/pdfs/startuppackages.pdf

It depends on how you want to work the business the amount you may initially invest.

I personally like doing booths at craft fairs/flea markets so I probably have more inventory than some.

The fast start pack includes a Sample bag with over 80 scents which is a great way to show off your new business -- plus you have plenty of product to retail immediately!

And then, some just get their COTM and give out samples from it and biz cards and take orders and then invest the profits back into their biz.

Once we know how you see yourself working your business, we will be better able to give you more specifics on how to go about getting the results you want!smileys/smiley1.gif</font>
