For all things candle and home fragrance making!
How I Melt Your Mother
For this customer story, we’re looking at a husband and wife dream team! How I Melt Your Mother is run by Laura and her husband and they specialise in weird and wonderful scents. If you thought of it, they probably have it. From bacon to petrol, this couple stock it all.
How I Melt Your Mother are a husband and wife team who hand make wax melts and home fragrance products. They both spent months and months researching and testing before we came up with the perfect products to sell. The duo currently have over 60 different scents and specialise in a whole bunch of unusual ones! They hand make everything in their little kitchen and are super proud of every single melt or product that they create. They both love unusual scents and struggled to find any melts that fit into that category so they decided to have a go at making their own, months and months of research and testing followed before the pair were satisfied that their products were of the highest standard to start selling.
So what’s behind that ever so interesting business name? The pair decided that they wanted something catchy that would stand out, which it definitely does! With a name like How I Melt Your Mother, their delivery drivers laugh every time when they drop off the couples supplies!
For How I Melt Your Mother, choosing scent is of the highest importance and the stranger the better, so how do they choose which scents to use in their products? The first thing the couple do is check that the relevant CLP and SDS information is available and then they usually start picking the ones that are more unusual. In a sense they just let their imagination go wild and pick anything that sounds amazing.
When we asked this power couple what advice they would give to those hoping to build their own candle business, their response was to research everything! Have a budget and know that it is very expensive to start up but don't give up. Keep pushing your brand and make sure you have a social media presence. Make sure you follow all laws regarding making and selling and most importantly customer service is key! At How I Melt Your Mother, the couple pride themselves on their amazing customer service and will always ensure everyone that interacts with them gets the best possible care.
