How To Price Your Products
The ultimate question from every small business owner, ever. How do you price your products?

Above, we talked about the two main ways to sell candles:

Buy wholesale and resell
DIY / Make your own
You could also consider dropshipping candles, as well, but that’s a whole other side hustle and business model (worth checking out, though).

If you go for route one and decide to buy candles in bulk and resell them, either under your own brand name or on behalf of the company, then you will need to consider the cost of stock, shipment, storage fees (if any), listing fees, packaging costs, etc, before setting your sale price.

You will probably make less money this way compared to starting your own candle shop. However, it’s still scalable and a profitable business strategy.

By making your own candles and selling them, you get to control the entire process – including costs.
