How To Make Princess Inspired Wax Melts
Creating a themed collection within your home fragrance brand can be a really clever and strategic marketing tool. Not only is it a perfect way to add newness, it can also capture a completely new audience if you tap a theme or subject that they align with.
We’ve created a popular Princess Inspired Wax Melt collection to show how easy this can be. It’s a light hearted and fun way to add newness to your brand, which can also be limited edition or tied to special occasions throughout the year which again add an urgency to your customers to ensure they purchase before you sell out! So let’s get a little magic in the air with our princess melts….
Why should you add themed collections to your brand?
It’s fun and engaging for your existing customers – it’s a story telling opportunity to really strengthen your connection with customers.
It’s a way to reach a new audience through a subject that people connect with e.g Disney lovers / Star Wars etc.
Create newness without needing to create a new product range.
Leverage the collection to create limited editions – create a sense of urgency not to miss out.
A chance to differentiate your packaging – create something special customers don’t recognise / stand out from the crowd.

What is a Wax Melt?
Ah, the humble wax melt. A beloved item in the world of scents and home decor. But what exactly is a wax melt? Let me break it down for you.
Simply put, a wax melt is a small piece of scented wax that is designed to be melted in a warmer to release its fragrance. It's similar to a candle, but without the wick and open flame. This makes it not only safer but also more versatile as it can be used in different types of warmers such as plug-ins or tea light heated ones.
But why should you choose a wax melt over other forms of home fragrances? Well, let me tell you why they are the latest rage among scent lovers...
- Scent throw (how far the fragrance spreads) is much stronger and longer lasting
- No flame involved, there's no worry about forgetting to blow out a candle
- The variety they offer in terms of scents, shapes and styles
- Cost effective and easy to make
- High quality to ensure an authentic and long-lasting scent experience every time
What shapes can you make Wax Melts?
Wax melts have been gaining popularity in recent years as a safe and versatile alternative to traditional candles. But what shapes can you make with this increasingly popular product? The answer may surprise you.
Firstly, let's start with the most common shape - cubes. These classic square-shaped wax melts are perfect for those who want a simple and straightforward design that fits seamlessly into any room decor. They are easy to manufacture, convenient to use, and provide consistent fragrance throw.
If you're looking for something more eye-catching and unique, there is a wide variety of fun shapes available. From floral designs like roses or daisies to cute animal shapes like owls or butterflies, there is no limit to what manufacturers can create with wax melts. Usually if it is a silicone mould that can withstand the temperatures you can use it for a wax melt!
The possibilities for shapes with wax melts are endless. From traditional cubes to fun and unique designs, there is something for everyone. So next time you're considering making a scented candle, why not opt for a wax melt instead? Not only do they provide beautiful shapes and fragrances, but they also last much longer than candles - making them an economical and environmentally friendly choice.
