Thoughts From U.S. Candle Company

It seems that lately it is easier to be pessimistic and critical of ourselves, others, and the world in general, rather than to be optimistic and enthusiastic!  It doesn’t help that the  mass media dwells on disaster, failure, and discontent.  This negativity just seems to create more misery, and when we complain aloud to our customers, they agree, and this reinforces the feeling of hopelessness and depression.  Here at U.S. Candle Company, we understand the importance of supporting our wholesale customers.  It is a struggle everyday to keep the bills paid. But take heart!  Things are about to change!  The “buy local” mentality is beginning to spread.  Independent business studies report that more money stays in a community when people buy in a small business rather than from huge box stores.  Nonprofits also benefit from local stores rather than from national chains with headquarters somewhere else.  Small businesses also create more jobs which counter the trends we see in the general workforce.  What is the reason for all this benefit in being a small business?  We can be more flexible in our buying, more unique in our merchandising. Our displays can reflect a unique flair and special character that are difficult for super-sized chain stores to replicate.  While we must accept the realities we can’t change, we can focus on those situations that we can influence. Use positive talk when engaging your customers.  Be generous and receptive with these people who shop in your store. Look for good in others, demonstrate empathy, give the benefit of doubt, remember that you have a choice in how your respond.  Focus on the positive: Candles are beautiful, supply warm inviting fragrances, and an overall tranquil, homey feeling, both in your store, and in the homes of your clients. Your positive business attitude will  provide a supportive, welcoming environment for your customers. YOU can make a positive difference, we are here to help!!!  If you are not currently one of our wholesale customers you can register for an account at http://www.uscandleco.com/register.php

I got home from a pretty hard and stressful day of work at the candle factory on Thursday evening.  When I walked in the basement door off of our garage I was greeted by my 2 daughters, my wife, and the fantastic smell of whatever it was my wife had baked that afternoon.  The air was filled with a hint of cinnamon, nutmeg, something sweet like cream cheese, and something else I couldn’t quite place.  All I know is it was good.  Being the kind of guy who enjoys baked goods, more than chocolates and candies, I was kind of excited.  I greeted my wife and daughters then proceeded up the stairs to to ditch my work stuff, and of course, take a peek into the kitchen to see if there was any other evidence that goodness had happened in there.  I have to say that what I saw was pretty disappointing.  There, burning in the middle of the kitchen counter, was a 64 oz. Homemade Pumpkin Roll scented jar candle.  This 3 wick candle had filled the entire house with the sweet fragrance of pumpkin roll.  Bummer…. I was hungry.
