Running A Small Candle Shop | Starting a Small Candle Business with Kenzie's Candles & Melts

I've looked over all of your links below and I'm not seeing a link to her website or socials, am I just not seeing it and it's there or....?

May I ask where you got the storage cabinets from please and Ty? 😊

Hi Wade, how successful are soy bubble candles, mine completely melt in 3 hrs and the wax scatters completely, is there a way to help them sustain longer, plz advise coz they look adorable and i want to make them work.

Loved seeing her cute shop and inspiring story and helpful info

I'm liking this guy everytime I watch his videos. He's so encouraging. So humble and sweet. God bless you, wade. ❤

Congratulations 🎊 ❤to you Kenzie. More wins to you.

I'm still in my learning and research stage. Looking at opening up for business...maybe December or next year. I'm so inspired ❤

this was AWESOME!!! I absolutely love her shop, I'm glad I saw this, I just started my business this year and I eventually want to have a shop also, thanks Wade!!

It's so nice to see small businesses helping each other out instead of undercutting each other. Fat cat CEOs could take note.

Hi Wade
I’m hoping you can help me! I’ve researched and researched but can’t find an exact answer 😫
I’ve been making candles with IGI 6006 wax and they keep sending off a horrid stream of black smoke/soot (not all the time, but more often than not).
I’ve tried going down wick sizes, keeping wick trimmed and also added less FO.
I’m still getting sooting. 😫😫
Do you think I should add stearic acid in??
I don’t know what else to do, other than go and use a whole new wax. 😢😢
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Great interview. Impressive shop and creator!

Wade, I used to make candles years ago, really only sold to friends. I'd like to get back into to making them for myself and maybe sell to co-workers and friends but when I think of all the testing I went through and money spent back then it makes me not want to go through all that again. I used to use Joy wax from Natures Garden, never wanted to use straight paraffin. Is there anyway to cut down on all the testing and throwing money out the window doing it? Maybe a good guide for a starting point? I'd love to use candle tins since that would probably cut costs when I have them shipped to me. Would love advice from you or any candle makers on here.😊

As someone who is doing this as a hobbyist, can I sell the samples I’ve made to friends and co-workers without any type of insurance? I know if I’m a business I would need it, but I’m not close to being there yet.

It's great to see people succeeding, thanks Black Tie Barn for supporting them.

Wade hi. Enjoying your videos very much. I want to start making candles but it seems here in South Africa we lack some of the more expensive or specialized equipment such as the presto pots and really beautiful containers. I am looking online but feel overwhelmed. There are many items from the East but I am not sure about security or reliability. I suspect that th South African candle supplies stores could trace these items for me, but I don't want the extra time and expense that would entail. Could you recommend any reliable supply companies for me?

Awww awesome! This was another great video thanks Wade (I’m potty mouthed planter also lol)

GO KENZIE!

Love it this is 15 mins from me!! My cousin's shop The Nutrition Fix of Court House is moving in as a vendor here. Way to go and Congrats on your success!

So awesome, I am from Columbus, Ohio. Will have to check it out. I just started my candle and wax melt products. I watch a lot of your videos, Wade, and I want to thank you for helping all of us newbies out.

Hi Sir I have sent you an email I hope we can reach you thanks

Goals! Just finding a nice storefront where I live runs $2500+. I couldn’t imagine finding a space that nice for $550.

Awesome video🥰 so wonderful you cover and support small businesses! She did mention a bidding site where she got some of her equipment, did she happen to mention which one? Thank you so much.

very cool:)

Congratulations on your Success, Kenzie!
Thank you Wade for sharing and promoting other candlemakers businesses and stories!!

Have you done any videos for 5 minute crafts candle stuff? That would be an amazingly funny video

This was very inspiring!

Impressive ❤
Congratulations 🎉

Grandes toneladas de éxitos te deseo desde España, y muchas gracias por abrir las puertas de tu negocio que se ve muy hermoso y próspero. Gracias, gracias, gracias.

Congratulations Kenzie!!! I wish you continued success in your business. Loved the tour and the variety of products you offer. Hi Grandma!!! :) Thanks Wade for highlighting this great business.

I’m definitely stopping by here soon, I’m not too far at all from this shop. She seems so sweet. Thank you for stopping by her shop, now I need to plan a trip!

✨🖤🤍✨🖤🤍👍🏽👋🏽

thanks for this video. great job to you both. impressive!!I think the best follow up is to actually see what kind of money she is making after a year or so.. will that shop size be for a long time or will she expand? Im super interested because I'm in a small town too.. I currently am a vendor in someone else's place and I'm not selling much but I'm trying to expand.. I still have to keep a real job at the moment..

Love this video. Great content, the store looks amazing! It's great to hear success stories like this. Specifically what is working and not working and see things others are doing. I gotta get one of those little warmers Kenzie is using.

Great interview and shop! I dream of paying that $$ for rent!

Brilliant. Motivating. Awesome share. Thank you.

The towel warmer… genius! Where did she get it? Thanks for the great Video

Very nice!! Congrats, young lady!! I love when you visit other candle companies. It’s really inspiring. Thanks, Wade!

I'm loving all these different candles businesses you have been highlighting, Wade. So great to see people succeeding and hear their stories.

Great job, Kenzie, it all looks amazing!! I love the scent of the month idea too. Keep up the great work

I love seeing other candle makers succeed! Great interview!

I would love to run my own business like that, right now I have to function solo!!! Keep going Kenzie!!! Great interview Wade!!!😊

Thanks for sharing Wade & Kenzie ❤Great work! Loved it!!!

This woman is crushing it!! So wonderful to see this. Don't listen to naysayers that the economy is bad, sales are bad, markets are bad---believe in what you see and believe in 
yourself ❤ Congratulations Kenzie! Wishing you enormous success!!
