Most Asked Questions About Fundraising With Marion Lane Candles™

Will Marion Lane Candles™ be as successful as the usual items that we've been selling for years?

more so, than many of the products sold today. Many times our locally owned and manufactured product has “hometown” appeal and does quite well.

Marion Lane Candles™ store is in town. How will that effect our fundraiser?

support a non-profit group.

What is he turn around time for the fundraiser?

Are Marion Lane Candles™ too expensive as fundraising products?

Marion Lane Candles™ Fundraising offers a range of affordable price points for the customer to select from ($10.00-$25.00). The high quality of Marion Lane

Candles contributes to the successfulness of our fundraisers today.

What makes our candles "premium" products?

Marion Lane Candles™ are hand-poured and not mass produced like many other candle products. We use premium quality wax, fragrance and wicking to

ensure you receive a scented candle with the maximum amount of fragrance that the wax will hold. As a result of our unique wax formula, our products burn

cleaner, longer and stronger than traditional candle products. We take pride in the quality of the Marion Lane Candles™ products we offer. In addition, we

believe a quality fundraising product is a key determinant in running successful non profit fundraisers.

Can we sell Marion Lane Candles™ two years in succession and will the second year running a Marion Lane Candles™ Fundraising program be as

successful as the first?

Past experience shows that the second year usually yields a more successful fundraiser in that people are aware of the quality and value and buy even more

than they did the year before. Many groups have been selling Marion Lane Candles™ since our retail store opened 6 years ago. Groups who decide not to

sell our Marion Lane Candles™ Fundraising products the second year often hear from their customers, "Where are the Marion Lane Candles™ this year?"

We introduce new fragrance choices on our fundraising forms annually, so we always have new options for your customers that have not been offered before!

Are Marion Lane Candles™ priced higher in Marion Lane Candles™ fundraising programs than in the retail store?

In many cases the prices of Marion Lane Candles™ in our fundraisers are the same. However, pricing may be slightly higher due to special packaging and

services necessary to get the Marion Lane Candles™ Fundraising products safely to your non profit organization and all fundraising in the State of Kansas

will include Kansas Sales Tax of 7.45% when applicable. The other piece that customers must realize is that 25-45% of the price of the product is going

straight back to the group in the form of immediate profit and therefore should understand why they might be paying a little more.

Are all the Marion Lane Candles™ items available in fundraising with Marion Lane Candles™?

In order to promote successful non profit fundraisers, Marion Lane Candles™ Fundraising selects the most popular items from the Marion Lane Candles™

collection to offer in our fundraising programs. The selection is based on past sales, customer requests, and information from the Marion Lane Candles™
