I am fairly certain there are candle companies here that would allow you to do that. Unfortunately, Gold Canyon does not.

Gold Canyon Demonstrators are not allowed to set up shop. You can participate in a flea market or other event so long as it is Short term. Short term events are not to surpass three weeks in duration in a calendar year. GC demonstrators are not allowed to participate in permanent events that are located at a fixed location for more than four weeks.

Best of Luck to you!

You can set up Mia Bella candles in service-type salons (nail salons, spas, and hair salons). I think you could do a display at a small shop, but could not actually sell the candles at any retail store. I know some distributors put up a display and get names for a candle drawing---this gets you a contact list, and I remember one saying she would take orders through a shop but not actually sell at a shop.

Flea markets---someone else may want to comment on this. I would think these are similar to fairs and other vendor events which are fine. I would keep in mind that people are looking for bargains at flea markets, so that may be a better place to introduce people to the product and get a list of contacts unless you were willing to offer some specials.

Ours does.....and I do. That is how I generate most of my income. We have a permanent booth set up at a Flea/Amish Market (and yes, it was approved by home office). So if you would like more info I would be glad to help you.
Just PM me and I will give you my email address.

You can most certainly sell For Every Home in the flea market/craft show venue! We are not a household name at this point so we are open to most anything!

You can sell Soylicious products through retail and online sources as long as the price is the same as what the company retails for.

Do you and your husband man your permanent booth every weekend? That's got to be a LOT of work.
