The best way to make the candles in your Neighborhood collection POP is with colored ribbon. Here are the hues we’re loving this fall:

Our Rainbow Just Got Brighter!

Posted on July 14, 2020March 29, 2021 by Ella B. Candles

With ribbon upgrades available in every shade of the rainbow, adding a little Local Color to your Neighborhood collection has always been a piece of cake. But at Ella B. Candles, celebrating the Hues of Home goes beyond the bright bows on our boxes.

By sourcing materials made in the USA, we are able to empower domestic manufacturers while providing quality products that our retail partners can count on. In an ongoing effort to prioritize American makers whenever possible, we’ve recently revised our ribbon rainbow to source some colors closer to home.

We didn’t reinvent the color wheel, but we have made some changes. Keep scrolling to meet our favorite hues (both old and new)! 🌈🎁

Crushing on Corals? 🎀 Add pops of peachy pink to your Neighborhood collection with colored ribbon upgrades in these must-have hues! 🍑

Shown Here: our NEW Coral Rose ribbon joins fan favorites Coral Ice (formerly called Peach) and Living Coral (formerly Light Coral).

Eye-catching colored ribbon is the perfect way to make your Neighborhood candles stand out! 🧡🍊(Orange you just smitten with these bright, bold shades?! 😍)

Shown here: Yellow Gold (formerly Light Gold), Torrid Orange, Ginger (formerly Old Gold) and Daffodil.

Looking for shades that’ll stay in style, no matter the season? 🌱☀️🍁🌲These fresh greens are sure to please year-round! 💚

Shown here: Lucite (formerly Mint), Kiwi and Emerald.

You don’t have to be Picasso to dig the blues 🎨 Bring your own personalized Blue Period to your Neighborhood collection with our palette of beautiful hues! 💙

We’ve added a NEW blue to our rainbow! Introducing: Royal Blue! 💙 (Sound familiar? If you’re looking for the ribbon formerly known as Royal, don’t worry — our brightest blue is still available under a new name: Electric Blue ⚡)

From blue skies to blue jeans, use colored ribbon to capture ALL the Hues of Home 🌈🏡

Shown here: Sky Blue, Bluebird (formerly Wisteria) and Light Blue.

We’ve added to our ribbon rainbow, and these new hues are coming up roses! 🌹 Peruse our freshly-picked pinks, available exclusively in luxurious double faced satin! 🎀

Refresh Your Store Display!

Posted on May 28, 2020May 10, 2021 by Ella B. Candles

Refresh Your Store Display!

Retailers: has it been a hot minute since you’ve had customers in your store? We’re here to help you freshen up before you re-open your doors! This week we’re sharing tips and tricks that will have your Ella B. Candles store display re-open ready in time. Keep scrolling: your Fresh Start begins now!

Burn, Baby, Burn!

We want your customers to fall in love at first smell, and one of the best ways to do that is with in-store testers. Back in the good ‘ol days (AKA three months ago) displaying unlit testers that could be picked up and sniffed offered customers an easy way to experience all of the fragrances in your collection (..and also curbed any temptation to pop open the box to sneak a whiff! 😉)

Unfortunately, COVID-19 concerns are reshaping the shopping experience for stores across the country, and some retailers may feel that unlit testers are an unnecessary touchpoint. To combat these concerns, we encourage you to find new ways to make happy smells part of your in-store experience! Burning your testers is a great way to catch your customers’ attention with scent while keeping the candle safely out of reach, and assigning specific scents to different sections of your store can establish instant ambience.

Not ready to ditch the unlit testers in your store display? Keep your wax under wraps! Our testers come topped with paper dust covers. While these paper covers definitely don’t have antibacterial properties, they can help keep things fresh in between sniff-tests!

So Fresh. So Clean. So Free!

No matter how you display your in-store testers, FRESH IS BEST! To help you spruce up your store display, we’re offering FREE replacement testers with re-orders* for a limited time. (Check the fine print at the bottom of this post for details!)

In-Store Signage

We’ve always believed that small businesses are the backbone of any town or city. As we’ve watched our retail partners across the country face uncertainty and overcome unprecedented obstacles, we’ve been reminded of what a vital light small businesses can be to the communities they serve. Now more than ever, it’s crucial that consumers support their local businesses. To help keep the local love alive, we provide complimentary Shop Local signage that you can incorporate in your store display.

Let’s Talk Product Placement!

Literally! How are Ella B. Candles products placed throughout your store? If your current configuration isn’t catching your customers’ attention, it may be time to get creative and rearrange. Our candles won’t suffer separation anxiety if you spread them out around your store. In fact, our retailers often report a boost in sales when they include Ella B. Candles in themed store displays and vignettes.

Got a Wedding Season end-cap? Your ‘Pop. Fizz. Clink.’ candle just found its new home! Got a section for teacher gifts? Make room for ‘Best. Teacher. Ever.’ Got a spot for summer essentials? Sounds like prime real-estate for ‘Tropic Like it’s Hot.’

Speaking of Summer Essentials…

Season-inspired candles are always top sellers, and with warm weather on the horizon, now is the perfect time to add a splash of summer to your Neighborhood collection. Need a little inspo? We’ve got you covered! Check out our best Scents for Summer, then get inspired with Candle Names for Summer.
