My wife and myself decided the need to augment our income and take advantage of her talent's in the doing. It started with a few candles for friends and neighbors and developed into an online business that has grown daily ever since inception, in 2011. We now offer a variety of products in addition to over 100 fragrances & we add more each month. The difference, I must say, is that Renee is a perf
ectionist and this equates to a quality with attention to detail that is unprecedented by todays standards. I have seen her throw work away that would have more than satisfied anyone purchasing her products. But nothing short of perfection would leave the shop. It's hard to put a price tag on quality craftsmanship today as it it mostly unseen. Her greatest satisfaction is her feedback and it best tells the story, with amazing compliments that reflect what I tell you here. She is not satisfied until she has produced the finest quality products and the lowest prices (too low in my opinion) and made yet another customer, a lifetime customer. She now spends her time overseeing the help & assuring that each product created is of the same quality as when she filled the orders herself. We now enjoy weekly repeat sales from over 500 of our valuable customers, in 50-U.S. territories and Canada. Some are known only by email address, others by first name as they communicate (frequently) their questions, comments and appreciation. AN IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE:
Renee is extremely adamant about chemical free environments, health products, foods and yes even candle products. We are all aware of the results of chemicals in our life and the detrimental effects caused by them. Be assured if it has StandaroundCreations name is on it...it has been scrutinized heavily. Product are all Vegan friendly. (no animal testing has ever been done on our products nor will it ever be). All of our products are natural and many are actually organic. However organic certification's of oils in catalysts & in Soy wax is an expense that we have not decided to undertake at this time. We simply do not list 100% organic or 95% partial organic, as requests for these products has been minimal. This website provides an alternate medium for our customers to use as opposed to our other selling channels, such as: Amazon, Ebay, Etsy, Etc. We believe customers like to look at products of interest (minus advertisement) they may wish to purchase. We strive to make our operation as efficient as possible, and thanks to You - the growing pains continue. We certainly hope You find what you are looking for. The free market has always been the best answer for any business. It can also revitalize a troubled nation. I hope it will return with the vigor of previous years & with the quality we had all come to appreciate and respect. We will do our part! We greatly appreciate Your support for our Company. This in-turn supports our U.S. farmers-as well. Thanks for listening to an old guy working from home with his loving wife & staff. In Liberty, Lew
