We walk through the 15 real reasons candle businesses stall and how to fix them with clear actions. From niche and numbers to branding, email, and mindset, the aim is a repeatable plan that turns great candles into steady sales.
• defining a niche you belong to and customer research
• building systems for batching, production, budgeting, inventory
• tracking analytics to spot trends and pivot
• realistic effort in a saturated market
• collecting emails and using content pillars
• seeking education, mentorship, and SEO basics
• cohesive branding beyond a logo
• showing your face and story to build trust
• avoiding trend chasing with a core line
• switching from hobby effort to business habits
• launching before perfection and iterating
• diversifying channels beyond social posts
• testing markets and getting trusted feedback
