Story #1

My husband and I love candles. In 2001, a simple trip to a Wichita, Kansas's craft show introduced us to Classic Candles. In the past we were like everybody else and tried the really inexpensive candles hoping that they would be good and we tried the really expensive candles expecting them to be excellent. Our attention turned to Classic Candles at the November 2001 craft show based on several immediate observations. First, we were curious as to why their booth was so busy. Second, we were very impressed with the number and variety of colors that we saw. Third, we were very impressed with the highly aromatic and realistic scents available. We took our time and purchased eight different 5oz candles.

As we were leaving a representative of the company approached us. It was then that we found out that the company had only been in business for a few months and that it was locally owned. We had a very pleasant conversation and were very well informed on how the candles burn and how to take care of them. We were impressed with the knowledge that was displayed by the representative during our conversation.

We went home and lit the first candle. We could not believe how wonderful the candle smelled and how well it burned. It did not take long for us to realize that we had found the "perfect" candle. We were so impressed with the candles that we contacted the representative from the craft show and set up a time for her to come to our home and tell us how we could become Classic Candle representatives.

After visiting with the representative at our home we were sold on the product and the company. After a few weeks we were generating income as reps and within five months we invested and became independent distributors of Classic Candles. What started out as a fun way to earn some extra cash turned into a full-time third income for our family. Now our company, Destin Dreamers, provides Classic Candles to the public on a daily basis. We have an excellent and loyal customer base that believes in the candles just like we did when we bought our first candles. We are true believers in our product and have allowed the candles to sell themselves. We enjoy what we do and are proud of what we have accomplished in such a short period of time. It makes our job much easier knowing that we have the complete support of the owners of Classic Candles and their staff. Their knowledge of the product and their continued guidance and friendship has helped our company to succeed and grow!

Sincerely,

Peggy and Kevin Sexton

Story #2

We have been selling Classic Candles from day one and feel the product is superior to any candle on the market. This has given us the opportunity to meet a lot of great people. We do craft shows and home shows covering all Southwest Kansas and as far as Kansas City, Missouri. We have gained many friendships with other crafters as well as our many satisfied customers. Each time we go back to an area we have been we have many repeat customers that tell us they won't buy any other candles now. We have developed a mailing list from each area and send out notices about a week before returning to an area. This has been a great experience and is still a lot of fun. I have a year and a half before retiring and then plan on this being a full time venture for me as Dorothy still has six years to work. I feel over the next couple years the business will grow so that when I retire I plan on bringing in about the same I am earning now as I plan then to do three to four shows a month. Also doing the home parties are great fun and that give us the opportunity to meet a lot of really neat people. This experience has been the most fun of anything I have done over the years. I feel that Christal has done an awesome job and provides great support for those of us in the field. I am looking forward to a lot of years of fun ahead and counting the days to retirement.
