Top 5 Scents for the Festive Season & Candle Maker Tips
As the holiday season approaches, candlemakers know that preparation is key to making the most of this busy time. With thoughtful organization and the right strategy, you can conquer the Christmas rush and stand out from the competition. To help you get ready, we've put together some top tips for holiday prep and a list of popular festive scents to boost your seasonal sales.
- Stock Up on Inventory (But Be Smart)
During the Christmas season, we recommend preparing for 2-3x your usual volume. The key is to strike the right balance—enough inventory to meet increased demand without overstocking. Aim to place your raw materials orders about 3 months in advance to avoid last-minute delays or shortages, especially with additional holiday deadlines.
- Create a Unique Collection
While popular holiday scents are always a hit, don't be afraid to think outside the box! This is your chance to set your brand apart with unique scents, creative packaging, or new product ideas. Let your imagination run wild and offer something that will make your customers come back for more.
- Plan Engaging Holiday Marketing Campaigns
Your marketing strategy during the holiday season is essential. In addition to Christmas, make sure to leverage Black Friday for big sales opportunities. Planning interesting, well-targeted campaigns can be the key to success in this busy season.
