What has been Going On

It has been almost a month since I have posted something about Betty's Only. Honestly, things are still the same. I have been getting orders for specific candles for various occasions, but no sales on Etsy. I haven't been to the consignment store due to being out of town. So the status of that endeavor I don't know. While out of town someone contacted me from Miami about putting some candles on consignment in his families liquor store. That seems to be very interesting. I am unaware of how he found out about my company. That really doesn't matter, just getting the word out about Betty's Only is what I want to do. I did respond to him, but now I am waiting to hear back. If I don't hear from him by Monday I will give him a call. With going out of town, I enjoyed myself to the max, but it did throw things off financially. I have to get it together.

As for Etsy, I haven't updated it in a while well over 2 months I think. I can say that I do have a problem and that is sticking to something anything. My attention span sometimes is as long as a grain of rice. For real, but at least I know that about myself.

Since I have the candles of consignment I have few candles available at home. I have to complete a couple of candles today and I will make more and update my Etsy. It is crazy, reading my previous posts. There are things I said I would do and haven't. All I can say about that is life happens. I must make the most out of it and do the best I can with what I am given. Still strive to achieve more.

More Candles on Consignment

I put more candles on consignment and none have sold. The place is a little warm and one of the candles melted a little. The set up was changed. The jars on the top and I organized the candles by category. The owner said that it has been slow lately, I guess this is due to the economy. I am just proud that I have candles on display for the public to see. Things will pick up, but when, I guess when I believe in myself and my company.

Candles on Consignment

I haven't been here in a long time and it's not due to giving up, but not having anything exciting to post about and having strept throat. I am much better now, but before the sickness got really bad, I contacted a consignment store and there was going to be an opening soon (actually the middle of July). The owner said that if that person moved out sooner she would give me a call. Sooner ending up being the very next day. I was very exciting about being able to display my candles in a public arena. Now, I have candles for sale in the store. It costs $60.00 a month and the money for the store comes out of the sales. That is good, the contract is for 6 months, but if I am not doing well or interested anymore I can give her a months notice and terminate my contract. I haven't been up there or made any candles due to being sick. I am going to start making more candles tomorrow since I feel much better. That was a break through for me. I was so elated. Another step for Betty's Only.
