Display cards/tags.
Like most of everyone else who has joined the Chandlers Guild we have been watching and waiting for something to happen, and as many have noticed nothing has.
I would like to get the ball rolling on a post made Submitted by blueridgemercantile on 03/19/2003 - 06:24
They Write:
“I don't know about anyone else but I plan to either attach a small tag to my candles or have an information sheet at the site of my displays that briefly lists the pros of soy wax candles. I was wondering what you guys think about deciding together on a short list of these pros that we can all uniformly use in our advertising or labeling. Let me know if anyone else is planning to attach any of this info. to their candles. “
Carol, Randi and I all agree this is a great idea and is a good place for this group to come together to start creating a standard that we all can agree with and adhere to.
We have drafted a display card that reads as follows:
==================================
Soy Candles
Protect the Environmental
Benefit American Farmers & Businesses
Won’t Fill Your Home With Oily Soot
COMPANY NAME soy wax candles
are made primarily of genetically unmodified
soybeans, with other botanical oils to improve
burning, as well as color and scent retention, are
non-toxic, and biodegradable.
Soy wax candles typically burn 25% longer than
paraffin candles, and unlike paraffin, soy wax
does not emit toxic compounds that build up in
your home, and your lungs.
Soy wax comes from a renewable resource that
benefits both American Farmers & Businesses.
Where as paraffin comes from refined crude
oil, which is not renewable, and the purchase of
paraffin candles benefits Oil Barons, primarily
from the Middle East.

================================
This is also printed on the back of our business cards.
We are more than happy to take the lead in getting this going, so please contact us directly if you are uncomfortable with posting to the Guild Community, with suggestions and comments.
