Mr. Robinson, Gifting Candles is NOT Weird.....

Mr. Robinson weird The title is a bit of an inside joke between myself and a friend. I want to share it with you. I am not sure how the topic got started between us both. I believe it may have been a conversation borne from passions for the products we offer here at Arcadia Marketplace.

Good Vibes - Good Employees

good employeesHaving positive people in such a sensitive area is vital for our products to maintain authentic magic.   When it’s time to bring in a new family member we tread carefully.   “Hire intentionally”, is our motto and frankly, that can be a difficult value to maintain when we are in a desperate need for more hands on deck.

When we hire a new employee we know that we are investing in them; the cost of training, cost of work slowdown during training and the cost of the hiring process.   Because this is an investment (on average it costs a business $2000 to hire a new employee) we make sure that a new potential employee fits in with our culture.  We even draft our interview questions to get an initial read on how they stand with each of our values: Open, passionate, excellence, fun and tenacity.   

You don’t have to be outwardly magic or even understand what we do to work at Coventry.  You just have to be a good person who jives with the people that you spend more time with than you spend with your family.   We know that every person we hire leaves an imprint upon our products and our lives and ours to theirs.   We work with the intent that we will walk together for a time and need to leave each other’s lives the better for it.    We just want to generate good vibes that carry all the way through our products ending with the person who needs the magic we create.

Affirming the New Year

affirming the new yarAbout 3 years ago we started featuring the Affirmation candles in December to promote a magical and empowered turn of the year.   This new tradition has gone from a simple wholesale promotion to a personal journey that many of our customers anticipate and plan for.    

 

Instead of a New Year’s Resolution, we promote the creation of a New Year’s Affirmation.  

 

Resolutions are for breaking.  They are a vow and promise that is impossible to keep, this creates sabotage and defeat in the new year.   

 

Affirmations are for keeping.   They allow small sustainable changes that build upon each other to create a new reality over time.


With this month’s special and New Year POP sign, you can stock up on the Affirmations and start a conversation with your customers, helping them choose their 2016 Affirmation and bring in the New Year with positive energy!
