Today I'll share essential strategies for sourcing supplies when starting a new candle business, emphasizing the importance of building on reliable, long-term available products rather than trendy items that might be discontinued.

• Keep your supply chain simple by using vessels and waxes that will always be available from multiple suppliers
• Avoid building your brand around trendy vessels that suppliers might discontinue without warning
• Source fragrance oils that are either widely available or can be custom duplicated when needed
• Use Alibaba with Trade Assurance protection for custom vessels and packaging to get better pricing
• Create an elevated unboxing experience with cost-effective options like stamps, stickers and candle care cards
• Test thoroughly when changing any component, as oils, wicks, and vessels all interact differently
• Consider starting with simple product extensions like room sprays before expanding to more complex merchandise
