The Candle Company - Kami Pringle
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in candle-making but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Kami Pringle, co-owner of The Candle Company LLC., located in El Mirage, AZ, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We make candles, wax melts, and now hand sanitizer. We sell to the general public and candle enthusiasts. We have a private company that makes our premium oils from scratch. We make sure they are in their purest cleanser form. They are tailored to people with allergies and asthma. We don't add any coloring or extra additives. We also have a company that certifies our wicks for safety measures.
Tell us about yourself
I started the business after noticing the candles I was using were making me sick. I wanted to perfect a candle that gives off the perfect throw without giving you a headache. What motivates me is hearing my customers tell me how they burned a candle for the first time in years and didn't get sick.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Giving you guys the world's cleanest candle to burn in your house, around your loved ones, making lasting, loving memories.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Getting a product on time. Stating a business during a pandemic has been challenging.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Wait till there's no pandemic. Have patience and allow room for error.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Psychology says it takes one smell to bring back 1,000 memories. Let's make millions of them together. Also, make sure to keep "sticking your nose in my business"; you never know what new things are coming.
