Every year since we got started in this business, it never fails … during the months of September, October, November and December we sell more scented candles then probably the other 8 months of the year combined. Needless to say, Autumn tends to be one of our favorite seasons here in the Morris household.

I’m not sure exactly why it is that people like to more burn candles in the fall and winter than they do in the spring and summer. Maybe it’s got something to do with the idea of having an open flame in your house seems more appropriate when it’s cold outside? I don’t know, for us pretty much any time of year is a good time to light up a Hot Apple pie candle and enjoy the way it makes the whole house smell delicious. I do know one thing (and I don’t want to give away a secret if any of you are reading this), but I have a pretty good hunch that our neighbors will be getting something aromatic from us for Christmas this year (candles make great gifts)

If you’re already on our mailing list, expect to see some additional Specials and Promotions over the coming months … the company always comes out with some fun new products for the holidays.

… and if there’s anything specific that you’d like to see, don’t hesitate to drop us a line. We’ll be sure to pass it on.

A couple of weeks ago, we got a great lesson in networking from a lady that Ana met while our kids were playing in the ball pit at McDonalds. They had talked for almost an hour, and the lady was nice enough to have given Ana some advice on schools and good neighborhoods to live. When it was time to leave, she simply said “let’s keep in touch, here’s my card”.

It turns out that she’s a Mary Kay consultant … it said so on her card.

When we got in the car, I pointed out the Ana (who is new, and therefore a bit “cautious”, when it come to promoting our business) that we had just witness some very good “soft” networking. Her new friend didn’t try to sell her anything … heck, they didn’t even talk about makeup. But, now if Ana does ever have the desire to purchase some Mary Kay makeup, you’d better believe that business card in her wallet is the first place she’ll look.

Because of this lesson, we decided that it would be a good idea to get Ana some new business cards. Ana is much more personable than I am. Everywhere we go, she’s having conversations and making new friends. Now, when it’s time to go, instead of wondering whether we’ll ever run into these people again, she’s got a couple of candle business cards in her purse, and simply hands one over and says “let’s keep in touch”.

The picture above is a scanned image of her new cards. The one at the top is actually the back of the card. The second image is the front of the card, with all of her contact information.

We bought a box with 500 cards in it. I’m really looking forward to having the need to re-order very soon

Not only do we have some of the best smelling candles and soaps that you’ll find anywhere. But, we also provide a FuN and Simple way for people to Earn Extra Income.

Our company recently posted a chart showing the average annual income (by level) of all active distributors. And the really cool part is, this is only showing the leveraged income (commissions). It doesn’t include the additional money that can be made through retail sales and fund raising.

All I can say is Thank You Bobby and Charlie !!

I’m so glad I found this company back in 2002. Who’d a thunk that scented candles could be my key to a happy retirement from the military in just a few short years?

We currently have 6 very popular scents … and even better, when you find one you like, you can also get the matching scented candle, to burn while you bathe.

I’ve personally been using this soap for a couple of years now. I even brought 10 bars with me when I was deployed to Iraq this past year. It replaced both soap, and shampoo; and in a pinch, I’ve even used it to shave. My favorite scent is the Mystic Melon.

I wonder what yours will be?

Look for some changes here at CandleMonkey.com in the New Year. Expect the site to be more “generic”, but also updated more frequently. Lots of great information about Triple Scented Candles.

Talk to you again soon,

Keep havin FuN!
