My GC Story

Last month, Gold Canyon featured a few demonstrator's Gold Canyon Story and I thought I would share mine.

June, 2009, I stumbled across a blog highlighting Gold Canyon. I went online to check the company out because I had never heard of it, but I love candles. I decided to find a Demonstrator that was near me (which was in VA Beach) and ordered a candle just to see what I thought about the product. I received my candle about a week later and I was hooked! I talked it over with Charlie (my husband) and he was on board as well with as much support as I needed (God love him :o) I contacted the lady through email, but because it was Summer, she was vacationing and really didn't seem to want to help me get started, so I searched for the second nearest demonstrator and that is when I found Tiffany Rennie out of Hertford, NC. Tiffany was so excited that I contacted her and has been a great support every since.

As you can see, my two closest counter-parts were both over an hour away from me. I was the first demonstrator in my area. All the other Home Businesses I had heard of had many, many demonstrators and I didn't want to do something everyone else was doing.

I ordered my Full Demonstrator Kit on June 25th and had my first Home Show scheduled at my house on July 12th. It was a huge success! I sold over $700 worth of Gold Canyon that day and over $300 more by the following Friday, which let me earn my Full Demonstrator Kit for FREE, plus I made over $280 in commission and received $75 worth of GC Products for hitting my first Quick Start! (I can tell you more about Quick Starts if you contact me). Now I had security that if this did turn out to be something I didn't want to continue, that I could quit at any time and I wasn't out any money. After my first year with Gold Canyon, I averaged over $650 a month income. I have to say, this is something I want to continue!!!

If you are interested in becoming a Demonstrator, here are a few factors that might help you decided...

1. Do you LOVE candles?
   
2. Do you want to make extra money for you and/or your family?
   
3. Do you want to make your own work schedule?

If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, let me help you get started TODAY! I am willing to be there for you like Tiffany has been there for me. The more success you have with Gold Canyon, the more success I will have.

Please call (252) 209-1480 or email me (mandysgccandles@gmail.com) to get started NOW! This is the best time to start your new business with Christmas just around the corner.

Oil Warmer Adapters

I have a new found love for my Pod Warmer...it is the Oil Warmer Adapters that you can use the Gold Canyon Home Fragrance Oil with. As you can see in the picture, the Oil Warmer Adapter comes in two colors, black and tan and are $5.98 each. The Home Fragrances Oils come in 6 different fragrances, Clean Sheets, Cozy Christmas, Holiday Wreath, Pomegranate, Sugar Cookie and Sweet Pea and are $6.98 per bottle.

The Oil Warmer Adapter's instructions say pour 100 drops (the bottle itself has 100 drop lines so you don't actually have to count them) of the Home Fragrance Oil in the adapter. There are 3 applications in each bottle.

I was curious to see how long 100 drops would last and over the past 2 days, I have ran my Pod Warmer with Pomegranate Oil for 16 hours and I still have a strong smell and plenty of oil left in my adapter. I am so excited!

The great thing about warmer the Home Fragrance Oil versus the Scent Pods is the almost instant smell that permeates through your home. It is such a strong and immediate smell and you don't have to wait for the wax in the Scent Pods to heat up before you smell anything, which could take 25-40 minutes sometimes. Also, it is cheaper than the Scent Pods. Scent Pods are rated to last 20 hours, but most of you that use the Scent Pods know that you can get much more use out of them if you use your timer correctly and let the wax rest. (I get an average of 30-40 hours out of each of my Scent Pods.) The Home Fragrance Oil has enough oil for 3 applications. If each application last for more than 20+ hours, you will get 60+ hours of fragrance for $6.98 versus $5.98 for the Scent Pods.

The down side to the Home Fragrance Oils are you have to purchase the Oil Warmer Adapter which only comes in two colors, but it is reusable. They are $5.98 each. Another downside is the fragrance selection options. I am sure after the oils gain more popularity, that the selections will increase, but right now it is limited. Another con is that when you are not using your Pod Warmer, the oil is still liquid. This may not matter to some, but if you accidentally knock your Pod Warmer while not in use, the oil will spill out (of course this would happen with liquefied Scent Pods as well).

All in all, I love this new Pod Warmer option. I am thrilled with the instant smell gratification without having to wait for my Scent Pod to melt. Even though I have only used my Adapter for 16 hours, I feel like I will at least get another 16 hours out of this first application.

Caring for Your Candles

To get the best possible result from your candles, please adhere to the following tips:

1. Trim your wicks to 1/4 inch before each lighting.

• You'll add five hours of life to an eight ounce candle!
• You'll stop additional soot build-up from masking Gold Canyon's incredible fragrance.

2. Never burn your candle more than four hours at a time.

• Because Gold Canyon candles permeate the fastest and are the strongest fragranced candle on the market, you do not need to burn for long periods of time to disperse the fragrance.
• Prolong the life of your candles by adhering to recommended burn times.

3. Use a Wike Dipper to extinguish your candle.

• Put out your candle without the "smoke puff".
• Preserve your wick in wax between uses by coating it in wax.

4. Be safe by following safety instructions and know with Gold Canyon, you are getting the coolest and safest was with every candle we make.

• Gold Canyon Candles have a lower melt temperature and are less likely to burn someone.

ECO-Note:
Reusing our beautiful glass jars is always an option for our customers.

• Place the candle in the oven and set from 150 degrees to 200 degrees on a baking sheet. Allow wax to warm until liquefied. (Lower temperatures are recommended to avoid burns.)
• Carefully empty the molten wax onto newspaper and transfer to the trash.
• While the jar is still warm, thoroughly wipe out the inside with a paper towel. You can then add dishwashing soap or Gold Canyon's Wax Remover to wipe out the last wax remains with a paper towel.
• Give a final, thorough wash and your jar is ready to reuse!

Discontinued Fragrances (Till Further Notice)

I received the following information through Gold Canyon. Please check it out and I apologize to anyone that may have wanted either the Caramel Macchiato or Fir Champa fragrances.

Product Availability Update: Caramel Macchiato and Fir Champa

POSTED JUNE 14, 2010

In an effort to maintain “The World’s Finest”^® product quality, please note that select items in Caramel Macchiato and Fir Champa fragrances are currently not available due to unsatisfactory performance. Please read below for further details.

Caramel Macchiato

An ingredient in the formula is no longer available. Without this ingredient, the character of the fragrance is changed. Several modifications have been tested with the intent to match the current fragrance character exactly. To date, we have been unsuccessful at creating an exact match. The resolution is to discontinue Caramel Macchiato with plans to re-release a new version in the fall. The following items are currently not available for purchase:

17 oz. Caffè Velluto Caramel Macchiato - #33117
9-Pack Caramel Macchiato Tealights - #76331

2.4 oz. Caramel Macchiato Scent Pod^® - #71331

Fir Champa

Fir Champa was recently pulled from our shipping pick lines because the candles exhibited unacceptably high levels of fragrance oil leaking out. Investigation into the problem has resulted in a need for reformulation. The resolution is to discontinue Fir Champa in the Heritage^® sizes until further notice. The following items are currently not available for purchase:

26 oz. Heritage Fir Champa - #38026

16 oz. Heritage Fir Champa - #38016

8 oz. Heritage Fir Champa - #38008

5 oz. Heritage Fir Champa - #38005

The following item is still available for purchase:

2.4 oz. Fir Champa Scent Pod - #71279

If you currently have back orders for any of these items, the order will be cancelled and the appropriate refund will be issued. Should a customer place an order for one of these items, please notify them that these fragrances are currently not available. Check Essentials OnLine for any updates. Thank you for your understanding.

Summer Catalog Kick Off!

May 1st kicked off the new Gold Canyon Summer Catalog! There are some changes with this new catalog and I think they are great changes.

There are two candle lines that got the ax. I know what you are thinking...how can this be a good thing...so let me explain. Have any of you loved the smell of the Pillar Candles, but thought the price was too high? Have any of you liked the Inspiration Candles, but felt you would rather have the smell in the Heritage Jar? Well, Pillar and Inspiration are gone and the popular scents are now available in the Heritage Jars! The new Heritages from these two candle lines are: Heather & Hyacinth, Tranquil Mist, Citrus Cream, Fruit Fusion, Sparkling Apricot, Yuzu & Ruby Red, Cedar Woods, Fir Champa, French Vanilla & Buttercream and Tangerine & Spice.

More great additions has also been made to the Pod Warmers and Scent Pods. As you can see in catalog cover picture, we have a new Picture Perfect Pod Warmer ($36.98) and we also have another called Revolution ($34.98) that is new. I don't have a picture of Revelution to share, but it is cylinder shape and is tapered in the middle (like a woman's silloutte). It is a brownish/black color close to the color of wrought iron. Some new fragrances are also available in the Scent Pods that I have been questioned about over and over. The new one's are Burning Bright, Currant, Grass, Lavendar & Black Ambre and Marigold. Some seasonal favorites are out as well, such as Casaba Melon Sunset, Coconut Mango Breeze, Really Root Beer and Sliced Watermelon.

Gold Canyon has also come out with a completely new product with the Summer Catalog, the Scentmate. It is a personal fan diffuser that you use scented oils on a pad and the smell is dispelled through the room by an internal fan. You can see it on the bottom of the catalog cover. I have not tried one yet because I ordered one on May 1st and they went on back order really quickly. I am not sure what is going on there, but I am NOT encouraging any of my customers to buy one until I get mine and can give my honest opinion about them. I like happy customers! Hopefully I will have one the first week of June.

Also, I just want to remind all of you that may be holding on to coupons from the "Strike It Gold" promotion that was going on the first couple weeks of the year to please use them. They expire on May 31st! Also, if you have not burned all your 26oz. jars that qualified in the "Strike It Gold", get to burning because only 2 of the 10 gold coins have been found, so you could be a lucky winner of $5,000!!!!

As always, please contact me if I can help you in anyway!
