Walking through some of the gift fair in Melbourne today I am surprised at the number of candle suppliers. I do not recall seeing this many. Small independent makers showing off boutique candles and importers with international ranges.
The number of candle suppliers tells me to be careful about candles, to ask questions about other retailers they stock. If I was to offer candles I am more likely to stock a range that is not available elsewhere in my catchment area.
However, given the broad availability of candles I am not like to stock them.
I felt this way about candles for years. The right candle (long lasting, well scented) sells very well. I am surprised at the number of customers who chase candles.
