Do you get caught up in your own little world? All you want to do is concentrate on making your soaps or candles. I do . I get caught up in silicone molds. What is the next design I want to make blah, blah, blah.
But to make sure I serve you guys better I need to keep up with the candle and soap market. I need to spread my wings and know what new products candle and soap suppliers are coming out with. I admit I do not really know anything about soap, but I know quite a bit about candles. Candles are where I started.
To be honest I have been bombing around getting back into candle and tart making. The whole idea would weigh on me as soon as I would even hint to myself about it. That is the wrong attitude that I am taking to be frank with you. I need to change my attitude.
How can I help you if I do not know anything about candles or soaps? (I will get better with soaps. Promise!)
I need to keep up with trends. I need to experiment with waxes and FO and such so I know how the silicone will react to certain products and I can help you out if you encounter a problem.
How in the world can I better serve you if I completely cut out the most important aspect and that is how to make candles?
That is about to change. I am going to play around a bit more with making candles again.
Do you wonder if you do the same with your community? Do you miss a key element in your marketing skills? The element of actually knowing what your customers want. You need feedback to help you out.
Where do get the feedback?
Here is a list of where to get potential feedback that would help you out immensely to keep you updated with your community.
1. Asking your community

4. Having certain people do blog post reviews about your product
5. Go to Ask.com- Search around for potential topics and what customers maybe looking for
Like I said I myself am guilty of this. No more. If you have any feedback on candles, silicone molds that you want to share with me feel free to leave a comment. I would love to hear your feedback.
