How Small Candle and Soap Businesses Can Compete with Retail Giants Like TEMU

In the world of handmade candles and soaps, small businesses have long thrived by offering unique, personal touches that mass retailers simply cannot replicate. However, in recent times, companies like TEMU have made it harder for small makers to keep their heads above water. With aggressive pricing, overwhelming marketing power, and endless product choices, TEMU and similar monster online retailers seem to be an unstoppable force. But here’s the thing: we can survive—and even thrive—by embracing what makes our small businesses special.

Competition in the candle industry is fierce, but fear not! Here’s how you can make your business shine:

Unique Scents: Everyone loves the classics, but a quirky scent like “Grandma’s Kitchen” or “Snowy Pine Forest” can make you memorable.

Adventures In Candle Making

Adventures In Candle Making

If you’ve read my blog you know that I was inspired to create candles by my Mother who showed me how it was done when I was  little. The part I left out however is that I’m not crafty. I figured that “crafty” was a gene that skipped a generation because my Mother was basically Martha Stewart, and I was the furthest thing from that.
