Description of the candles

We helped design this program. It includes 8 wonderful scented candles each of which covers a specific Bible Verse and theme.

Here are the current choices you will be selling: Believe (Roasted chestnut & brown sugar), Encourage (Juicy Peach), Forgive (Vanilla Bean), Hope (Baked Apple Pie), Love (Cinnamon Apple), Praise (Garden Rain), Serve (Teakwood & Fern), and Trust (Gardenia).

These are 12 oz candles packaged in canning jars. They are made from the highest quality blended waxes and fragrances available. And they are hand poured here in the USA.

You sell each candle for $12. You will make $6 profit per candle.

How do Journey of Faith Candle Fundraisers work?

Journey of Faith candles sell the same way our other candle fundraisers do. They are pre sell or brochure fundraisers which essentially means that you sell using brochures or catalogs which we provide free of charge.

You tell us how many people will be selling and we will send you a brochure and order form for each one of them. They show the brochures to friends and family and take orders for candles. It’s that simple.

How much does it cost to start?

The program costs absolutely nothing to start. There’s no risk in trying the fundraiser. Just tell us how many people will be selling and we will send you marketing materials for each member of your group free of charge.

There’s no need to purchase candles or inventory in advance. You literally spend nothing to get started.

How much money will I make?

You will make 50% profit on every Journey of Faith candle you sell. The candles sell for $12 each so you will make $6 from each candle you sell or half the selling price. There’s no need to settle for less than 50% profit.

If you sell 150 candles or more we will even pay for your shipping costs. Otherwise we charge $65 for shipping and other related expenses.

Yankee Candle Fundraising has become a popular option for groups wanting to raise money. But is it the best candle fundraiser for your group?

The answer to the question depends on your expecations of fundraising. How much profit do you think is reasonable? How much money will people pay for fundraising candles? Will the name brand help you sell more candles?

Let’s walk briefly walk through those questions.

1. How much profit is reasonable? Yankee Candle fundraising programs offer 40% profit. That’s not bad but frankly it is lower than most groups have come to expect and even demand when they sell products. Depending on the size of your group you could and should expect 50% profit from most fundraising ideas – especially a candle fundraiser. Here is a link to higher profit candle fundraisers.

2. How much money will people pay for a fundraising candle? Yankee candles sell for $24 each. While that is close to the retail price people pay for Yankee candles it is well above the prime fundraising price points. Historically people like to pay $10 or $12 for a fundraising candle. Anything higher can seriously impact the number of candles you sell. One would suspect that higher prices would allow for higher profits so before choosing a Yankee Candle fundraising program realize that their candles are priced higher than other candle fundraising programs.

3. Will the name Yankee Candle help me sell more candles? The name Yankee Candles is one of the most respected names in the candle industry. No doubt about it. But does that translate into higher sales? We do not know of any studies that definitively answer that question. What we do know is that in tight economic conditions people are sensitive to how they spend their money. While some people might be more attracted to the name brand we believe people will purchase more candles when the prices are lower. Combine that with higher profit margins available on other fundraising products we come to the conclusion that profits are the main goal of fundraising and should be considered when choosing your candle fundraiser.
