Would a home-made candle business do better in a shop or online? -

I m thinking of taking up making candles, and would like to sell them somehow. Do you think I should look into having a business in an actual store, or should I go with the online approach, using websites like etsy and eBay?

I think you should go with the online approch first, if people seam to like it then maybe open up a small shop, oor start at a flea market! that would probaly be the best :)

i think the online idea is the best if your just starting the buiseness....however i dont think the ebay aproach would be best. candles tend to be given as gifts etc, and not many people purchase gifts from ebay.id set up my own website (or get someone good at IT to do it for me!) and see how it goes.You could get customer reveiws easily and see what people first make of the idea.opening a shop takes alot of time and money! the rent, painting and decorating and even shelves and baskets all a till all add up!Good luck with your idea, im sure you ll do well :)jo x

Try setting up your own online shop. Opening up a small shop takes a lot of hard work money. So learn how to create your own website, make a few business cards, just make sure to advertise really well! Give free samples at first with your business cards attached, always ask that if they know anyone who loves candles, to mention you. Good advertising is the way to go!Best of luck!

depends how much money you have because having a shop and online are both good ideas.if your just starting out i would just start doing it online and then when you get more used to what people like to buy and the cost etc open your own shop.but i would do both eventually if i was you.

DO BOTH at some point in business you will need to diversify having your business in both places is a very diverse decision

If you have the money, open a store.
