Pricing notes for candle sellers
Why include defects?
Small batch production has imperfect pours, damaged labels, broken vessels, and samples. A defect allowance keeps the plan honest.
What if I sell in person?
Set marketplace fees lower and add booth fees or card processing costs to ad spend/overhead.
Supply costs to check
Soy wax
Check price per pound before buying.
Candle jars
Compare landed cost per jar, not pack price.
Cotton wicks
Test burn before committing to a size.
Thermal labels
Roll labels are usually cheaper per unit.
