Candle Parties are a great way to gain new customers! We always suggest you do the first one at your house with family and friends. Rather than post a request on facebook for someone to ‘get in touch if they are interested’. We have done a guide below for you to print off. There are links here for order forms and a suggested script here. They are also in the files section of the Resellers Group. We have also done a promo video for you to download here At the end of this page is the promo video for you to watch.
Step 1 – Ask for your banner via email so it has your name on to matty@mattyscandles.co.uk. This is basically an image which says Candle Party with “your name here” as a graphic
Step 2 – Find a host or host it yourself (10 people or more is ideal!). If you want to start small try it with your immediate family!
Step 3 – Create an Event on Facebook
Step 4 – Print off the order forms link above or from the resellers file section
Step 5 – Buy some pens/ pencils and cheap plastic wallets and put all of the above in your wallets for your guests
Step 6 – Once you have created an event on Facebook start to put posts in your event with products to generate the excitement
Step 7- Make sure you have all your scent tins
Step 8 – Have some Products as examples so you can demonstrate (not to sell on the day) the idea is for people to order from you
Step 9 – Make sure everyone has a brochure and a bi fold leaflet
Step 10 – Get a card reader, people spend more with one! We have a link which makes the Sumup Card reader a bit cheaper (£19 plus delivery I believe) instead of £29 with this link http://r.sumup.com/referrals/hpmR8
Step 11 – Share games you are planning to do on your “Event” entry on facebook. If you dont know how to create an Event from your page click here https://www.facebook.com/help/210413455658361
Step 12 – Share on your personal profile and invite your friends
Step 13 – Post about Prizes that can be won. (Centre Aisle!)
Any games you have email them to matty@mattyscandles.co.uk so we can share in the steps! Consider ‘guessing the mystery scent tin’ by covering the top and bottom and getting them to write the answers on the order form, the prize would be a small gift set you can get from Home Bargins etc, Gin works well. If noone wins send the Gin to our office many thanks.

Step 15 – Suggested flow you can print off above or in the files section of the resellers group.
Step 16 – Offer your host 10 to 15% the equivalent what you took in sales of Matty’s products at the end of the night at Retail Value. This will ensure your ‘give away’ to the host is kept to a minimum as you will be buying at trade.
Thats it, plenty of advice in the group and of course we can assist direct from an email
Good luck with your first party!
Example Left Right Game
This is a bit like pass the parcel but no music is needed, unless you want to add a bit of disco for atmosphere!
So when the word is LEFT they have to pass left and when the word is RIGHT they pass right. The host or you can read it out.
Christmas Parade
A fun Left/Right Christmas Game story for anyone
There was a week left to go before December 25th, and the entire town was in the Christmas spirit. And rightfully so; the annual Christmas parade was only a few days away!
The Mayor was perhaps the most excited of all for the parade. He’d been right when he proclaimed, “This year’s Christmas parade will be the best we’ve ever had! Let’s do right by our citizens and make it one for the books.”
Everyone in their right mind loved the Mayor. But he was unfortunately endowed with two left feet. He’d trip and fall, right and left, over anything and everything all day long – it was his only undoing. Otherwise, he was downright adored by all the townspeople.
Especially during the holidays. Maybe that’s why he kept getting re-elected. The last mayor had left in a fit of shame and disgrace after his Christmas parade was deemed in all the newspapers (even the left-leaning ones) as the “worst Christmas parade in the history of the town, which no one in their right mind would attend.”
So the new Mayor was determined on making this year’s parade the best the town had ever seen. But because of his two left feet, he needed special assistance if he wanted to get the job done right. So he called on his good friend, “Right-Foot Fred,” who just so happened to be endowed with two right feet. Together, the left-footed Mayor and Right-Foot Fred worked seamlessly to organize the best Christmas parade ever.
Finally, the day came for the Christmas parade. There were gigantic, beautiful floats right and left. There were Christmas trees decorated, right up to the top, with all kinds of lights and ornaments. There was delicious food as far as the eye could see, from pumpkin squash grown right in the Mayor’s own garden to peppermint ice cream that had been left outside all night to freeze to perfection. Plus all the types of traditional yummy eats that make for excellent leftovers.
Everything about the parade was absolutely perfect; anyone in their right mind could see that.
All of the townspeople, whether they were left-footed or right, and whether they were in their right mind or not thanks to all that delicious eggnog, enjoyed the Christmas parade immensely. They formed a committee the very next day to re-elect the Mayor in hopes that he, with help from Right-Foot Fred, could pull off such a wonderful parade again the next year. Nobody cared about the Mayor’s politics; no one really even knew if he was left-leaning or right-leaning. All they knew is that he could host one heck of a parade and that was all that mattered to anyone, and rightfully so
