(ContentDesk) June 14, 2006 -- What does it take to go from zero to 10 million in only one year on the Internet?
The owners of Timeless Candles think they know the answers.Co-owner Mary Richardson believes the store's success will be in it's philosophy, "At Timeless Candles the single most important question we ask is, How may we brighten your day today?" Richardson explains, "Trying to answer this question before we ever opened for business inspired us to donate the profits from our first week in business to help in the fight to prevent breast cancer. It lead us to create the first educational podcast on candles. And, it inspires us every day to find new and improved ways of serving the individuals who come in contact with Timeless Candles.The company is leaving nothing to chance. Early on Timeless Candles decided that how product reaches customers is just as important as what reaches them.

When choosing packaging material we looked for solutions that were both environmentally friendly and affordable."The company's webmaster, Kelly McCawley, offers his own reason for predicting the company's future success.
"Frankly, our site is leaving nothing to chance. I've personally spent hundreds of hours researching every detail of the site's components from its shopping cart to its podcast and blog."Though it is not a publicly traded company, company officials have decided that at the end of their first year in business they will make a public announcement regarding their predicted success and the exact amount of their gross revenue.

Candles can set the mood for almost any occasion, even if the occasion is simply to forget the day and relax.If you've purchased very many candles, you've learned the cheapest candles are not necessarily the best, nor are the most expensive candles the best.

Copywriting Makeover: It?s Not About YOU, It?s About THEM
by
? 2003http://www.copywritingcourse.comI've always loved scented candles. They help create a cozy atmosphere. They give you a relaxed feeling. And - most importantly - they make your home smell wonderful! So, naturally, I was excited when I was approached to rewrite the index (front) page for an online retailer who made specialty, soy scented candles.The goals of the copywriting rewrite were to increase sales and improve search engine positioning for the terms "soy candles," and "scented candles." The copy definitely needed some work. It wasn't "bad," but it had one major thing holding it back.
The copy violated one of the primary rules of copywriting. "It's not about you? it's about them."An additional problem was that the information - while definitely necessary - was presented as more of a list of nuts and bolts. It needed a boost to create a "feeling" about the candles for sale.The ProblemAs you can see from the original version, http://www.copywritingcourse.com/IlluminousTimes-BEFORE.doc,...

Patchouli Candles ? Setting The Standard For Scented Candles
Patchouli candles help fill the room with the scent of the candles. Unlike other scented candles, you do not have to be seated next to the candle to enjoy the scent or only get a whiff of it after you blow out the flame. The scent of cloves, gingerbread or other homemade baked goods from Patchouli candles really enhances the atmosphere of a kitchen. You can also have a sweet earthy fragrance in Patchouli candles, which even males enjoy having around them.
The main fragrance of Patchouli candles comes from the essential oil of the Patchouli plant.
This plant is native to Asia and has a powerful mossy, musty fragrance. A Patchouli candle also combines the scents of other essential oils, so that you have a wide variety of fragrances to choose from. For example, clove and Patchouli Yankee candles help every room of the house to have a scent that all will enjoy. In addition, these Yankee candles are therapeutic in the aromatherapy of the essential oils.
