Have you all seen the wickless candles that Bittersweet Candle Company offers? They are great for people with allergies. No smoke or burning flame - just scent delivered to your house.
What are some other great ways to market these non-original candles?

Our candle warmers have been an awesome seller- which I assume is what you`d use the wickless candles for. I rarely burn a candle anymore- the warmer makes them last so much longer!
Offices, homes with allergies, andwith children seem to be my top buyers.

Sweet Berry Designs offers wickless candles/warmers, too! I have found that the highest selling point of these items is to people who work. They do not have to worry about any fire code violations by having a wickless set in their office versus a candle. Plus, the warmer can do double duty as a coffee mug warmer!
Daycare centers love them, too!! I brought one into my daughter's pre-school and got quite a few orders from other parents who just had to know what that smell was. smileys/smiley2.gif
With two teenagers in my house, I am always afraid of them forgetting to blow out a candle in their bedrooms, but warmers are always allowed. smileys/smiley36.gif
Also, my grandmother was getting a little forgetful, but she loves the scent of a candle, so I gave her a wickless set for Christmas.....she feels much safer without having to worry if she's forgetting to blow out a candle. Many senior citizen apartment complexes won't even allow candles for this reason, so warmers/wickless sets are great!!

I have one of the candle warmers at work and use it there also. Although I have been known to light a real candle at work also. I've also used the car air fresheners also at work. I actually hung one up in the women's bathroom. smileys/smiley36.gif
I have an electric melt warmer on order right now - can't wait to get it! Then I can plug that in and use the wax melts for that. We have some awesome new ones coming out on August 1st.

Warmers are also great for getting that last bit of scent from the bottom of a jar candle. I'm sure many of us are guilty (I know I am) of burning a jar candle right down to nothing. Of course, you risk glass breakage doing this, so the warmers are great for getting that last 1/4-1/2 inchof candle scent. smileys/smiley1.gif This is a great selling point for the warmers.....I've used it at all my parties.Edited by: SweetBerrySue
