View Full Version : Presenting votives to customers
04-06-2006, 09:57 AM
When a customer orders a votive or two, how do youpresent them(besides puttingthem in a holder)? Since they're not shrink wrapped, I don't want the scents to mingle, however, I want the presentation to be attractive (youknow, instead of puttingthem in a sandwich baggie). Any suggestions?

what I have done is put them in the little tiny bags that people wrap candy in. they seem to look nice. Then I tape (althought I am looking for twist ties) down the top and I put a label with the scent and my contact info around the sides and voila! Any one else?? Ideas??? Bueller? Beuller???

Nashville Wraps has this great floral wire that is metallic and comes on a
large spool. (It looks exactly like twist tie, but it's metallic and shiney!) It
comes in red, green, gold and silver.This stuff is SO convenient and handy!
I like to put votives in a small cellophane baggie, and then twist tie the top
with a snip of about 2 inches of the silver floral wire- leaving a little "poof"
of the cellphane at the top. Very cute.

Another option, if you want to make them look nice, is to put them in the votive boxes. It may become too costly for single votives, but theboxes present the four votives nice and professional. I found some here http://www.cierracandles.com/detail.aspx?ID=2793. I'm not an affiliate for them. I just found this site on someone else's link and bought some from them. smileys/smiley1.gif
