Candle Fundraiser FAQs
Helping organizations set up a Candle Fundraiser is a simple and extremely exciting process! The goal of your candle fundraising program should be that the organizations you work with will experience success selling your candles.
You really can build the foundation of your business by running a candle fundraiser. Not only will both you and your organizations experience success and profitability, you'll also gain a great feeling of pride and accomplishment knowing that you're helping organizations to raise the money they need to help fund their programs. Fundraising is a tremendous way to help others and build your candle business at the same time!
Candle Fundraiser FAQs You Should Know
As I mentioned earlier, setting up a candle fundraiser for local and national organizations really is a very simple process. Once you set up a few fundraisers, you'll get the hang of it and become a pro in no time at all!
Having said that, there are some very common questions you'll be asked by the organizations and groups you will be working with. Being able to offer a concise and accurate answer will greatly improve your chances of working with these groups.
Here are some of the most common FAQs...
Will fundraising with your gourmet candles be as good as the gift wrap, popcorn, magazines, chocolates, and other items we have been selling in the past?
There are many factors that contribute to successful fundraisers. This makes it impossible for me to guarantee success in any fundraising program. However, Candle Fundraising Programs have been as successful, if not more so, than most of the products sold today!
*****
Can we be successful if we only have a small organization?
A successful fundraiser isn't dependent upon the amount of members in your organization. We have seen groups and even individuals who have had enormous success with our gourmet scented candle fundraiser.
*****
Do many people buy Scented Candles?
It would be impossible to know just how many people buy candles. However, we do have some incredible statisticson the candle industry, including the fact that on an average 85% of all families buy scented candles at least once a year. We believe that most of them will switch to our richly scented candles when they are educated on the benefits our candles provide.
*****
Are these candles too expensive as fundraising products?
Our hand poured gourmet scented candles have value, are naturally clean, represent a healthy alternative and are priced in the same range as many other candles (which already have a great track record for fundraising).
*****
Why is the "QUALITY" of Gourmet Scented Candles so important?
Our company (or "I" if you make your own candles) constantly searches for and hand-selects fragrances from around the world, so that our gourmet candles give off a wonderful scent when they burn. If it's a French Vanilla scented candle, it smells like French Vanilla, not perfume.
Our master candle maker (or "I" if that applies) takes enormous pride in the entire candle-making process. This assures that every aspect of our candle is done with personal pride. The key to having a long-term relationship with your fundraising organization and their customer base is to offer a candle that is superior to the rest!
*****
If we sell your Hand Poured Gourmet Scented Candles two years in a row, will the second year be as successful as the first?
Past experience shows that the second year is usually even more successful because people are aware of the quality and value of our richly scented candles and will actually buy more the second time around.

These FAQs will give you a good solid foundation to answer any questions that your organizations might have when you first present your fundraising program to them. The candle company that I work with has incredible training and support for this aspect of running a home candle business, as well as other methods. Some candle business owners have built their businesses exclusively by running one candle fundraiser after another, sometimes many simultaneously!
