Hello~


I am having a party this weekend and I was wondering if you all could share how you sell packs of votives and what types of discounts do you offer? For example do you do a buy 3 votives, get one free type of thing. And what kind of discount do you typically offer on multiple jar or pillar orders?


Thanks!!

Hi Olivia,


I sell my votives 4/$12.00 and give a free votive holder, jars are 2/$36.00 and I would prob so the same for the pillars 2/$36.00. That's just me :)

Hi Olivia, another thing you can do is offer a "Hostess booking special". I make a computer printout and put in a clear plastic standing frame on the table so they can see it. You can say something like "Book a Party in the month of April and receive a 4 pack of votives with decorative holder".


Just a thought. And you will hear ladies say something like"oh, i just want all of these, but i just cant!" or "i want so many it is hard to decide!" That is when you GENTLY (lol) remind them that if they host a party they can get FREEEEEE candles!!!


ok, i am out of advice for the hour. Check back soon! smileys/smiley36.gif


And yes...I am soooo sorry, hubby was home today and we were out pretty much all day running erends. But you can ALWAYS call me. I have my cell always. And talking to hubby and babies can get pretty boring after a while. smileys/smiley36.gif
