I just started my business, a friend gave me my first order. Then I realized I did nothing for the packaging and presentation 😑. It's like you know what exactly your viewers want and you give it to them.

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 2 года назад

It takes some time to learn and grow with your packaging and presentation. My first orders were not pretty at all!

@jtmaffiliates5492 2 года назад

I sent 300 to 400 grams scrub in glass jar without plastic at all by wrap it with 3 sheets of corrugated paper, tied it with hemp rope, and put it in the box, filled by shredded reuse brown packing papers. Never have any single complain about it since January 2020. I found about it because most of ceramic glass and plates that sold in furniture store like Ikea and ACE use the same method.

@savanna.shares 2 года назад

Love your videos! I use the honeycomb as well and learned that in need to wrap it taught in order to keep it “bubbly”. There’s also a certain direction to wrap it, otherwise it’ll fall flat like it started with. Hope this helps!

love honeycomb paper. Better for the earth and fits my brand aesthetic a little bit better. I ship a lot of fragile items and I haven't had any complaints yet.

@giannabastone 2 года назад

I absolutely love your videos, they are so helpful! I was wondering if you include the price of your packaging in the price of your candle?

@kamelyae.a.2556 Год назад

Hi Erica ! What would be the sizes with your experience for a 12 oz candles for the box sizes ? And can you explain how do you ship with the adresses of the clients ? Do you go to the p office with all your box and the adresses ? Thanks ❤

@angelsball2001 2 года назад

Have you tried the boxes from Flush Packaging? I’m super curious about those! I have some samples on the way.

@Warefamily2024 Год назад

Do you have a link for the upgraded box you now have?

@laurieallen2491 2 года назад

Thanks for another wonderfully helpful video, Erica. 😍 Do you still use the thermal bubble wrap for hot weather shipping? I don't understand why more folks don't talk about this. In some areas of the country, it's warm all year round, while in most other areas, there's the potential for hot temperatures at least 1/3 to 1/2 the year. I've encountered a lot of makers in FB groups who just shut their business down during the warm months... I want to make a living doing this, so I can't imagine how that's sustainable!

Unfortunately your brand of honeycomb paper was out of stock. ☹️ I watched another chandler use this paper as well. Thank you for helping me get where I want to go! Your vids are priceless but so incredibly helpful! Thank you, Mama!❤

@alexandra53465 2 года назад

Thank you for all your videos! They have helped me plan how to open up my own business in a few months. In regards to one of your videos of the room spray, the formula that you shared, what would the fragrance load be using that formula? Thank you for all your help and I'm excited to see your channel grow 😭

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 2 года назад

I’m so glad! And that formula is for 5% FO (it’s a formula I found from another maker on YT!)

@theekiara9263 2 года назад

What size are the cloth bags that you have in the video and what size is that jar?

@dannac_8888 4 месяца назад

Great video! Your link to the honeycomb paper goes to the link and it says it's currently unavailable. You may want to create a new link.

@halfbakedcafe 2 года назад

Love the details on supplies and all the ideas. One question I had was how do you prepare for multiple orders? Do you keep just certain size boxes on hand? Do you ever try to get boxes when orders come in just to accommodate?

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 2 года назад

Yes I just keep certain sizes on hand! Mainly 6x6x4, 8x6x4, regional rate a boxes and medium flats rate boxes. And then I just determine which box is going to be the cheapest for that order!

@sara_s_ 2 года назад

Your videos are so helpful, thank you. Do you recommend etsy or shopify? Do Etsy sales transition over easily?

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 2 года назад

I recommend both! Etsy is super easy to start on, but Shopify is fantastic to be able to have more freedom/options! 🤍

@m.b.g.spinartfamily5681 2 года назад

I’m not sure if you did a video like this or if this will make sense. Haha but can you do a video on how to get your business name legal like should we make a $30/month Shopify to lock in our name or how to go about that?

@carengolub8451 2 года назад

Hi Erica! You do excellent learning videos that provide so much information that...well basically...did not think of :) Also, I think that you have a number of viewers, one being me, that would like to know where to find the drawstring bags :)

Hi just wanted to know since I am always confused the bubble pop has to be inside of the rolling the candle or outside

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 2 года назад

I usually put it on the inside touching the candle :)

Thank you dear

@skiidzman 2 года назад

Completely random, but I've watched a few of your vids, you checked out Amazon Handmade yet? No UPC's required, 15% fee per item sold, but pretty sure that includes shipping etc. Could be wrong, always some fine print somewhere lol

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 2 года назад

I have not but maybe I’ll look into it in the future!

@tanishab86tb 2 года назад

Do you put anything extra in the package to prevent the candle from melting?
