Have you wondered why we handwrite batch numbers on our labels?
The answer: To tell you what book I listened to while pouring your candles!
Yup, that’s right! Of course, we also use batch numbers for tracking quality and monitoring customer experiences, but as a book candle business, stories are pretty darn important. I listen to about 40 audiobooks a year because as a busy mom, I usually only get to ‘read’ while doing other tasks. Oh, and I love it. So, when candling came along, it seemed a perfect fit.
Witing Candles + Audiobooks = Happiness
That’s our part, but now you have a part to play as well! Find your batch number listed below and check out the book I listened to. If it seems worthy of your TBR list, throw it on the pile. Then, take a photo of it with your candle and post it on Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #batchbook.
There might just be a prize waiting for those who dare to share!
