I am looking to sell candles again. I used to sell Affordable Luxuries, but they went bankrupt. I have been looking at Scentsy, Gold Canyon and Hat Creek, any and all information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time.

I just bought some of the product from a friend of mine who sells Scentsy, and I love the product. My house smells great! HTH :)

Greetings!
Congrats on your decision to join the glowing people of this forum!
If you decide you'd like any information about Mia Bella, please feel free to drop me a note :) I joined Mia Bella and started my candle business in 2004 and it really is a dream come true!
I see you are considering Scentsy, Gold Canyon and Hat Creek, I've heard of the first two, both are great companies! Hat Creek I've not heard of yet...
Ask lots of questions and follow your heart!

Let me know if you want to learn more about Cierra Ashley.... not a candle. But a home fragrance company. I used to be with Scentsy & they have a wonderful collection of warmers.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!

Like Kayne, For Every Home is not one of the companies you were looking at but you may want to give us a look.
For Every Home has both candles, cubes, home decor and a intimate collection of warmers. Their products are soy based also.

Hi bech05,
SoyLicious.com isn't on your list, but since you're shopping around and comparing, I thought I'd offer an additional fine option. :)
Whichever company you choose, I wish you the best!

Hi! I don't have tons of input for you, I'm just here to welcome you back to the candle world. I sold for Cera Bella and was seriously looking into Affordable Luxuries as a replacement. I'm glad I didn't join them because I got into two other ones that closed within months of my joining. It would have stunk to have a third close on me!
That said, it took me four years to finally find a replacement. I went with Gold Canyon, with Scentsy being a close second. My customers like candles so it just made sense for me to go with a company that had the scent pods as well as candles. I absolutely LOVE Scentsy, they just weren't the right fit for my customers. I would have joined them in a second if they had been receptive.
The lady who was our team leader in CB looked into Hat Creek but wasn't very impressed with the company...I can't remember why because it was 6 years ago.
Anyway, for not much input, I sure can ramble! Good luck finding a new company!

Thank you all who have replied. I did look into Mia Bella, I'm looking for a company that will fit me well and has alot to choose from, so I'm kind of stumped on what to do! There's so many good ones out there. Hat Creek I liked because you could personalize the lids and I thought that was neat and something different. Does anyone know if any of the vompanies help you with leads for parties? I'm also trying to find one that there aren't like 10 consultants all in one area. Thank you all again!

Gold Canyon does provide leads when people go to Goldcanyon.com they get referred to a demonstrator in their area. This starts happening once you achieve the Gold Demonstrator status by working your business and sponsoring 3 people under you.
These can be any sponsors, loyal customer sign ups, or even people who are just curious and want to pay the $20 for access to Essentials Online tools and their Demonstrator product discount.
Gold Canyon allows you to submit any order over $150 minimum as a Party Order with hostess credit paid by the company, no matter whether you submit it yourself as a collection of individual orders, do a home party, a catalog party, or even a long distance party.
You can also earn your kit free with any type of orders, including web orders (your first 90 days of website are free).
As i mentioned before Gold Canyon also provides training for you, online, through the sponsor you choose, and through the team you join.
I hope this helps, and good luck in your decision process!!

I'm with MiaBella, I love it because I earn 50% commission, I can buy at 50% retail which means I don't have to wait for my commission check the following month, I get paid CASH RIGHT AWAY!That's important to me.
When you hold a party, or you have a booth at a show your 50% cash goes right into your pocket. PLUS you earn a % on all you recruit.
I love HatCreek products and it would be a close second but it to pays just 20-30% but their personalized tops are great.
Would love to send you a free info packet with sample if you like.
