Fundraiser Candles

Have you considered holding a Candle Fundraiser?

If you haven’t researched candle fundraising let me give you some facts that will help you decide if a candle fundraiser is right for you or your group.

Candle fundraisers are really good for any group. They are especially good for groups that sell to friends and family because most people burn candles from time to time in both their homes and offices. When you have a product used by so many people it really opens up a huge potential market.

Candle fundraisers are like cookie dough fundraisers in that there is no cost to start a candle fundraiser. Each member of your group is given a brochure showing the candles being sold. People shop through the brochure and order candles. Your sellers should collect payment at the time of the sale. At the end of the sale, you tally together all of the orders and the money.

You will have collected the retail price of the candles. If you chose to accept checks those checks should have been payable to your group so you should have a lot more money than the amount you will pay to purchase the candles. The extra money is your profit. As you can see you will have your profit before you even place your candle order.

The great thing about a candle fundraiser is that you will know how much money you will make on every candle you sell. We offer a 50% profit on every single candle sale. The only additional cost would be for shipping if you sell fewer than 150 candles. Even then your shipping cost is capped at $65.

All of your candle fundraiser brochures and marketing materials are provided free of charge so there is no cost to get started which means there is really no risk whatsoever.

As you can see. A candle fundraiser might be perfect for your group.

Fundraiser Candles are a great Choice

If you are thinking about running a fundraiser for your local school, office, church group, or sports team, why not try a candle fundraiser?

If you haven’t researched candle fundraising let us give you some facts that will help you decide if a candle fundraiser is right for you or your group.

Candle fundraisers are great for any size group.   The scented candle industry is over $2.3 Billion Dollars.   That is a lot of candles!  Candles are used in 7 out of 10 American households.  When you have a product used by so many people it really opens up a huge potential market.  Why not sell a product your supports will love?

Facts to Know About Fundraiser Candles

The first is the price of the candles. You can find candle fundraisers with candles as cheap as $10 and as expensive as $50 but there are problems with both ends of the spectrum. People tend to understand that you get what you pay for, and the $10 candles tend to be small, not smell very good, and burn quickly. Conversely, at the higher end, not many people can afford a $50 candle. You want to find a program that offers candles in the $15 to $20 range.

There is a growing movement towards items that are more environmentally conscious and that holds true even with candle fundraisers. The best candles are made from premium wax blends designed to fill your home with beautiful fragrance.

Also, on the list of considerations is where the candles are made and how much care goes into their making. The very best candle fundraisers offer candles that have been hand-poured in the United States. This level of care guarantees that you and your customers will be happy with the candles.

What to look for in Fundraiser Candles

The first thing to note about fundraiser candles is that there are plenty of choices. We have different packages to suit your needs, all provide a wide assortment of colored and scented candles. With this kind of selection, there is likely something that will appeal to everybody you are selling to.

If you are looking for easy and interesting fundraisers candles must certainly be on the shortlist of ideas you’re considering. So many people love to burn candles in their home or office, to give the room a pleasing fragrance. We offer a variety of candle fundraisers featuring beautiful, long-lasting candles that your supporters will love.

Which candles fundraiser you choose is up to you, based on which one you think would work best for your group.

Our Earth Candle fundraisers feature wonderful premium soy blend candles that are beautiful, eco-friendly, and highly fragrant. These candles are slow-burning and make your entire room smell wonderful with prices that are very competitive. Earth candles are made in the USA.  This is a great fundraiser for any group that loves the idea of candles but loves the idea of a green fundraiser even more. After you have finished burning your candle simply recycle the glass and lid!

The Journey of Faith candles fundraiser is great for churches or other Christian groups that want a themed fundraiser to reflect their message. Each of these beautiful candles is based on a theme from scripture, which makes them perfect for spreading the word and reminding your supporters what it’s all about. They come in eight great scents, and all the candles are hand-poured into a 12oz canning jar.  This is a perfect candle fundraising idea if you are trying to raise money for your youth group, for a new church construction project, or for a mission trip. Christian groups often struggle to find fundraising ideas that are appropriate within the context of faith – that’s why Journey of Faith candles are so perfect.

Holiday Candle Fundraiser is a great option for a fall fundraiser.  These fundraiser candles feature six beautiful holiday themed fragrances and packaging.  Hand poured and made in the USA these candles will delight your supporters year after year.

How to Promote your Candle Fundraiser

There is no way to guarantee that you will have a successful candle fundraiser.

There are just too many factors that go into the sales of a candle fundraising program that is out of your hands. But there are a number of things that you can do that will seriously help your chances of having a terrific candle fundraising experience.

First, pick a program that will appeal to your customers. This means that you need to consider everything from pricing, to scents, to what the candles are made of. We find that for any type of fundraiser, a price between $15 and $20 leads to the most sales. There are a lot of candle fundraisers out there with a bunch of different scents for the candles. Just pick the one that sounds the most appealing.

The next thing you can do to make your candle fundraiser better is to promote it to anyone and everyone, anywhere and everywhere. Directly soliciting sales from people will be your best bet to drive sales, but if you can market your fundraiser and get some people coming to you it makes things much easier.

For example, if you are doing the fundraiser at your church, you can advertise in the bulletin for people to buy at the table outside the sanctuary instead of asking each person individually to buy something.

Candle Fundraisers Simply Work Well

Candle fundraisers are very popular options for groups looking for a fundraising program that is highly profitable with easy to sell products that do not need to be frozen.

They work great no matter what time of year you need to raise money because unlike some other fundraisers, like chocolate sales, you do not need to worry about your product melting. And, because candles are a consumable item that gets used up, there is almost always a need (or at least a want) to buy new candles.

Candle fundraising can be a great alternative to snack-based fundraising products.

A lot of people feel uncomfortable with selling things like chocolate or fundraising cookie dough, just because of health concerns, but none of that is a problem with candles. Our beautiful and inspirational candle fundraising ideas suit just about every group, and whether you’re doing this fundraiser for your church, your school, or any other type of cause, we have a great candle fundraiser for you.

Candle Fundraisers are fun and easy

At the end of the sale, you tally together all of the orders and the money.  For each candle you sell, you will take away half of the profits.

The extra money is your profit. You will have your profit before you even place your candle order.
