I am so excited to announce that I have come up with a theme for my candles/crafts. First of all, let me tell you why I decided that I needed a theme.
I got to looking at my candles from a critical eye and decided that they were, well let me just be honest here, a bit on the boring side!
Sure they burn and smell great, but I had to ask myself: what really makes my candles any different from those sold at your local box store or even those sold by other average candle maker that also sells their product at craft shows??? Well, not much really.
So I decided that if I wanted this venture to be successful, and that is the goal here, then I needed to figure out how to set Roxy’s Wicked Scents Candles & Crafts apart and make my products interesting and appealing to my target customer base. Otherwise, why else would they want to buy from me? Let’s face it… they won’t.
I’ve pondered on question for a week or so now, and it finally came to me! (Thank you to my dear friend, DeAnna, who’s wedding last April really served as my inspiration…) I’m going with a Chic Vintage theme! I’m so excited because I love that kind of style anyway and it seems to be a big trend right now.
With that being said, I’ve also decided that I am going to take this business focus a step beyond just candles. Candles will remain to be my main focus, but I also plan to incorporate decorated wine bottles, and multi-media canvas art. All of which will fall into the same Chic Vintage theme.
I feel I need to do this because I’m a bit ADHD when it comes to my art projects and I have to be able to change gears every once in a while; otherwise, I will just get bored and burn out. Work with what you got, right?
Needless to say, I’m experimenting with some samples at the moment. I will be sure to post pictures, and possibly even videos of my techniques, as they come to fruition.
So be sure to follow my blog so that you will know when I post those!
PS… I can’t wait to share them with you!!!!
