Anyone ever have any luck doing this? I am pretty successful in my jewelry business, but I sometimes run into customers who dont wear fashion jewelry, I have been thinking of adding candles to my business for some time now... I always tell my downline not to do more then 1 business to be really succesful unless you can spend a good time on both companies. Im not looking to recruit in the candle biz so I think I could do both... Im kinda scared, what do you all think? Im wanting to get signed up by next week as theres TON of craft shows I could set the candles up to in a booth next to my jewelry business. Any imput would be helpful
PS
Thank you to everyone who sent me info on there business oppertunity, my husband and I are still going over all the companies

I did.. LOL.. Though I stopped selling jewelry because I LOVE Candles a little more..
You could set up a table like you said with jewelry/candles.. These are to HOT sellers as you know.. When doing a Jewelry Party have a nice candle burning & with a Candle Party make sure you wear a WOW piece of jewelry & have things ready if someone is interested in learning more.. It can be fun/easy just depends on how you work them both...
Soylicious is a brand new company where you just pay $29.95 a month for your Scent Of The Month which includes:
One 11 oz Candle
One 20 oz Candle
One Chunk Tart
One Room Spray
FREE WEBSITE with 40% discount/commission..
If you would like more information please PM me..
Best of Luck. YES you can do both & have fun doing so... ;)

Candle products are easy to implement into other businesses and make a few sales. Be wary though because some do not allow you to sell both at the same time.
Some ways to cross-market would be to have a candle or a warmer going at a jewelry party, be wearing your jewelry when having a candle party. I don't know much about Cookie Lee but a lot of jewelry companies don't allow you to sell off the table at events, but candle companies do.
It is definitely a juggling act balancing two companies but once you get the motion going in the right direction, it comes naturally :)

I frequent our local flea market and I see people selling jewelry and candles and other things as well.
Like the ladies above said - it is all in how you present it and how well you integrate the two. Diversity is a key in entrepreneurship - just look at Wal-Mart. They carry everything and thus the reason most people go there for their shopping :)
