To raise the sufficient funds to enable us to produce our book we decided to create our own candles to sell at local markets in our area, as the markets were around Christmas time we included frankincense, pine and candy cane scents to tie in with the Christmas theme. We also included rose, lavender and peppermint within our candle range. Our scents were chosen especially to be anxiety relieving. We made the candles at home and made our own unique branding directed towards the theme of the book. When selling the candles at the local markets we promoted our book simultaneously using posters and informing customers of our purpose.
We also raised funds by hosting sweet & cake sales at our school during break times, this was our initial source of income used to fund the production of candles and the book. |
