REFERENCE FRANCHISEE

I have owned my Crazy Candles Franchise for 4 Months. In this short time the response has been amazing.

I think it works so well because it is something new and creative and people are fascinated with it. People love to participate in creating their own candles, it gives them a huge BUZZ !! When we have set up at Markets, Fetes, Festivals and Shows within no time people are wanting to make a candle. If there are children around it works instantly….”Like Bees To A Honey Pot”.

We have had a wonderful response from School Vacation Cares. I was amazed at the bookings we had for our first school holidays of owning our new business. Vacation Cares love it as it is a wonderful activity for the children and is NO hassle to them. Crazy Candles has provided me with excellent Training and Support and I am confident of their ongoing support.

I get very excited with my Crazy Candles business. You can be as busy as you want to be with Crazy Candles and work less hours for much greater rewards……………VERY EXCITING  !!!
