The Smell of Success
Candles continue to be a sure bet, just as they've been for years. Here are the burning trends you need to know about now, and how to keep sales simmering.
What Men Want
Think women are the only ones who coo over candles? You might have another thought coming! Yankee Candle and other candle manufacturers are getting in on the growing interest in an entirely new demographic: men. These candles are just the thing for man caves, especially with men making up 35% of the users in the scented candle market, according to Harlan Kent, CEO of Yankee Candle. The company’s recently debuted Man Candle collection includes offerings such as Man Town (spices, woods and musk); Riding Mower and First Down.
