Something I've wanted to do for a while is share some of the suppliers that I use to make my own business go round (no gate keeping around here 🚫). Depending on your needs and your business, you might find a one stop shop but I've always loved spending the time to find the products that are just right for me and my business 🤩
First up is one of my very first suppliers, I think they're the biggest UK supplier of candle goods and it's Candle Shack 🕯️! These guys originally started out making their own candles and I think struggled to find reliable suppliers..so they became one! One of the best parts about Candle Shack is that they have an active Facebook Group full of people that use Candle Shack products that help each other out and give advice - there's also a resell group incase you no longer need something or want to buy something that's currently out of stock!
They're so in touch with their customers, it's a really nice change of narrative for supplier and suppli-ee (?) 😂
Secondly is Sticker Market! I'd been on the hunt for some personalised stickers but I struggle with finding things like this because I want the quality to be so high..I want to stick this cutie on my laptop and I want it to stay there through all the roughhousing I am no doubt going to put it through! Sticker Market reached out to see if I wanted to get my hands on some of their goods (and obvi I do) and I went for the hologram bumper sticker, isn't he the cutest? 🥹 Another top thing about Sticker Market is that their MOQ isn't through the roof..as a small business sometimes that's a difficult thing to find as some suppliers want you to place an order of thousands and thousands! I'm going to look into getting my candle jar labels done by them as they have vinyl and PVC stickers as well as gold and silver vinyl, that would look LUSH on my matte black jars!
Next up is Craftastik! I came across these guys last year and they have very very quickly risen up the ranks in my supplier list for being reliable and having speedy delivery! We do our best to be on top of our own stock but sometimes you miss something or something sells better than you expected (nice when that happens isn't it? 😂) and you need something ASAP..these guys dispatch same day if not the day after and a day or two after that it's at my feet! I get most of my wax melt supplies from these guys, they have such a range of wax dyes, mica powders and wax melt clamshells. They also do the Kerasoy waxes that I use across my whole range
That's it from me for now, maybe I'll do another one of these and highlight some other suppliers?!
