A friend of mine has had great success on etsy with selling stuff and she goes to craft shows occasionally as well. She and I both have also recieved a lot of customers with our business's by also creating a myspace page for our products. You can also go to vistaprint.com and get 250 free business cards and all you have to pay is for the S&H which is $5.95 I think is what I paid. I always kept them on me and left one when I left tips when going out to eat or when the chance came to talk to someone about it. Some stores and cafes will even let you leave a few cards there for the public. I do photography so I bought one of those photo tote bags with free embrodery and had my company name on it and put some photos in it. I use it as a combined purse/diaper bag and so people will ask me about stuff and then I can give them my card. You can take pics of some of your candles and put your company name on it as well and then people can approach you as well. You can also gut info on your car about your business for not very much if you have the extra cash to do it. As far as names maybe like "Scent" from Heaven or something like that that plays with the whole candle thing? :)

Craft malls or antique malls are good places to try and sell. Also ask at specialty shops if you can give them a few candles to burn for free and then they can have a few to sale if people inquire about them. Another thought is to go to local realtors and see if they'll buy some to give to their clients when they sell a house. Last thought would be to sell them on ebay or craigslist.

If they are handmade candles, than you can sale at www.Etsy.com I have a shop there as well, so if you need any help setting up, let me know.

Just search for candles and check out the shops. Etsy ONLY allows handmade items sold there, so if they aren't homemade, you can always try selling at a craft/antique mall, or even Ebay (but most people want to buy things super cheap there).

We do school craft fairs and they are somethimes succesful.
