Stepping Up Our Game: Why We Chose a Co-Packer for Forest City Candles

Hello everyone,

As many of you know, William and I started Forest City Candles in our kitchen in 1998. Over the years, our business has grown and we've been so grateful for the support from our local community and beyond.

Recently, we've seen an increase in demand for our candles and we've realized that we need to step up our game in order to meet that demand. That's why we've made the decision to move our candle production to a co-packer.

Here are eight reasons why this was the right choice for us:

  1. Increased capacity: With a co-packer, we have access to a larger production facility, which means we can make more candles and fulfill orders faster.
  2. Improved efficiency: Our co-packer has the latest equipment and processes in place to streamline production and improve the overall efficiency of our operation.
  3. Expertise in candle-making: Our co-packer has years of experience in candle-making and is equipped to handle the technical aspects of production, freeing us up to focus on other areas of the business.
  4. Access to new materials: Our co-packer has access to a wide range of materials, allowing us to create new and innovative candle products.
  5. Reduced costs: By outsourcing production, we can reduce our costs and pass those savings on to our customers in the form of lower prices.
  6. Focus on our core business: With production in the hands of a co-packer, we can focus on what we do best - developing new products, marketing, and growing our business.
  7. Consistent quality: Our co-packer uses consistent processes to ensure that every candle meets our high standards for quality and consistency.
  8. Scalability: With a co-packer, we have the ability to scale production up or down as needed, giving us greater flexibility to meet changes in demand.

We are confident that this decision will help us better serve our customers and take Forest City Candles to the next level. We can't wait to see what the future holds!

Thank you for your continued support,
Abigail Martel
