According to the National Candle Association, 7 out of 10 homes burn candles. In fact, approximately $2 billion annually, excluding sales of candle accessories, is generated in the U.S. alone, in retail sales of candles.
Candles are typically sold in three types of retail outlets: specialty or gift shops; department and home dcor stores; and by mass merchandisers (discount stores, drug store chains, grocery stores, etc.) However, you now have an opportunity to earn a part of those sales figures by sharing beautiful, all natural, scented candles with others through a Direct Sales Company.
Introducing Sharing Gratitude
Sharing Gratitude is the marketing side of The Gratitude Candle Company (GCC) and instead of spending thousands of dollars to market their prestigious candles through the traditional marketing medias, they have chosen to share those thousands of dollars with you, the consumer. As a Direct Sales company, not only do they offer high quality candles but they also give you the opportunity to earn as you go!
With a product that thousands of people use, GCC has developed a compensation plan that will help thousands earn the income that they need, simply by sharing their candles with others. Consumers are increasingly purchasing candles as a focal point for their home dcor, for aromatherapy type relaxation, and stress reduction.
Founded in 2007 by Jennifer Ballinger, The Gratitude Candle Company which started out as a wholesale candle company for the purposes of fundraising has now become a full fledged Direct Sales Company with a catalog of products and services.
Their Flagship product is a beautiful, all natural, 64oz. Luxury Candle, retail value $125. All of their candles are formulated with a patented premium grade blend of soy, bee, maple, and palm waxes which allow their candles to diffuse delicate fragrant oils without interpretation and smoke. The variety of fragrances are their exclusive blends of the finest quality, highly concentrated essential oils.
Business With A Purpose
More than just a business, Sharing Gratitude lives its philosophy and that is one of sharing. According to Jennifer Ballinger, "We believe that giving gratitude unconditionally opens the flow of spiritual as well as material abundance in our lives and as part of our Sharing Gratitude philosophy, we also donate $1 from every 64 oz. Luxury Candle sold, to Charity. Sharing Gratitude is all about bringing blessings to you and to others....blessings of sharing, caring, giving, and reaching out to others with candles and sharing God's Love. We are a business, but we have a PURPOSE greater than the business!"
