Faroy Candles – Find Out How This Company Got Started
Faroy candles were first made in 1950. Two college friends named Preston Frazier and Addison McElfroy decided to make their own Christmas presents that year because they had no money to buy them. They chose to make candles, but had no intention of starting a business. Friends and family liked the creations and asked for more. A buyer for a fashion store in Houston saw the candles and suggested they take their Faroy candles to a trade show in New York.
At that time, the candles didn’t have a name, but the two creators came up with Faroy candles as a combination of the two surnames.
Although Faroy candles are very popular today, they are not manufactured in the same manner as they first were. Each Faroy candle was poured and carved by hand. To do this today would raise the price of the candles significantly because of the labor costs involved. Even if you purchased the Faroy candles wholesale, they would still be expensive.

Valentine's Day ? Where Did THAT Come From?
Just as soon as the stores put away their Christmas merchandise, out comes the Valentine's Day items ? even though Valentine's is still more than six weeks away.I don't know why, but it always takes me by surprise to see Valentine's Day merchandise so soon after Christmas.I've always wondered where Valentine's Day came from, and under those circumstances, a person could be forgiven for thinking it was invented to create more business when Christmas is over.But no, after a little research, I discovered that Valentine's is not a holiday that was "invented" by greeting card companies to sell more greeting cards or by candy companies to sell more candy or by florists to sell more roses.Valentine's Day actually started more than 1,500 years ago.According to legend, Valentine was a priest who defied the orders of the Roman emperor Claudius and continued to perform marriages. It seems that Claudius realized no young men wanted to join his army because they didn't want to leave their wives and...

Is Your Business Ready for 2003?
Anyone who owned a business in the U.S. in 2002 knows the difficulties that a poor economy can cause. Even those in other countries who may have operated under better economic conditions last year have or will experience downturns in business. Well, 2002 is over, so how do you regroup to face 2003 with optimism and a fresh game plan? That was the topic of discussion in my recent coaching session with Denise. "The economy can't possibly be as terrible this year as it was last year, can it?" she asked.
"I mean, I'm really struggling to get new jobs from my current clients much less bring on new clients." "Well, it does seem like the economy is taking a longer time to rebound than anyone expected, so let's see what we might be able to do to shore up your business during this down time." During the rest of our conversation, we set a new agenda focused on strengthening relationships with current clients, further distinguishing herself from her competitors, and approaching segments...
