Gatherings & Conventions
Candlemakers and
Soapmakers occasionally have meetings, gatherings, conventions where they
meet others in the business, share some ideas and make new friends! Maybe
there's one near your area!
Some fun
ideas for gatherings:
* Have
soap or candlemaking project demonstrations!
* Invite guest speakers to talk about marketing
& selling ideas, display ideas, etc!
* Hold soap or candle swaps!
Example: Each person brings 1
votive or 1 soap bar to put in the swap box, then everybody reaches in and
gets one
(hopefully not their own!).
* Have an ugly soap or candle contest!
* Have a recipe swap!
Example: Each person types
up a sheet on a candle or soap project they specialize in, and brings enough
copies
to hand out for everyone at the
gathering.
* Set up a "sniffy table" with scent samples
for everyone to smell! (don't forget the coffee grounds!)
* Have a "name that scent" contest - blindfold
the sniffers and see if they guess the scents!
* Have a soap or candle trivia quiz and give
out door prizes dontated by sponsoring suppliers!
* Hand out brochures, cards, coupons, and
samples sent by sponsoring suppliers!
* Take photos of the gathering to put on your
website to encourage more visitors next year!
