Candle Fundraiser FAQs
Every organization wants to choose successful fundraisers for their non-profit organization.
In an effort to help you understand the power of our gourmet candle fundraising we want to
answer some of the most asked questions. We know that once you understand the benefits
to our unique program and product you will be excited about offering
our naturally safe, clean burning gourmet candles to everyone you know!
Q. Will a gourmet candle fundraiser be as good as the gift-wrap, chocolates,
or other items we have been selling in the past?
A. There are many factors that contribute to successful fundraisers which make it impossible
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.
Q. Can we be successful if we only have a small organization?
A. Successful fundraisers are not dependent upon the amount of members in your organization.
We have seen small groups and even individuals who have sold incredible amounts of candles
for fundraising.
Q. Do many people buy candles?
A. It would be impossible to know just how many people buy candles, but we do know that on
the average, 85% of all families buy candles at least once a year. We believe that most of them
will switch to natural vegetable candles when they are educated on the hazards of other types of
candles.
Q. Are your gourmet candles too expensive as fundraising products?
A. Our gourmet candles have value, are naturally clean, and represent a healthy alternative to
unhealthy paraffin candles. The suggested furndraising prices are competive with a candle of the
same size made by leading manufaturers of quality paraffin candles (which already have a great track
record for fundraising). Your supporters will not be paying a higher price to buy candles for your fundraiser
than they would normally pay for a quality candle at the mall.
Q. Why is the "QUALITY" of your candles so important?
A. We constantly search and hand-select fragrance oils from around the world so that our candle gives
off a pleasing scent when it burns. If it is an apple scented candle it will smell like apples, not perfume.
We take immense pride in our process which assures that every aspect of our candle is done with personal
pride and we truly believe that the key to having a long term relationship with your fundraising organization
and their customer base is to offer a candle that has no peers!
Q. If we sell your gourmet candles two years in a row, will the second year
be as successful as the first?
A. Past experience shows that the second year is usually MORE successful because people are aware
of the quality and value of our candles and buy more than they did the year before.
