We were lucky to catch up with Courtney Robotham-Tanksley recently and have shared our conversation below.
Courtney, appreciate you joining us today. So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?
My husband Mr. Kendrick Tanksley is behind the name Sucka 4 Smells LLC. He’s the one who came up with that name & brought it to me & I instantly love it! I said let’s do it lol
Courtney, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
The idea of starting a candle business was all my husbands idea. He knows I love candles & one day he told me he think we should start a candle business, a few days later he came up with the name Sucka 4 Smells & the rest was history! Sucka 4 Smells LLC is a Luxury candle business whose candle names are named after popular marijuana strains made with 100% soy wax. Our fragrances are uniquely curated & custom as well. Sucka 4 Smells LLC offers not only candles, but luxury room/linen spray & wax melts as well. We plan to grow Sucka 4 Smells & add other great self care products such as, cold press soap, bath salt, bath bombs, & so much more.
We expect to go above & beyond the ordinary candle experience, providing luxury smells that make you happy to smell.
How’d you meet your business partner?
My business partner is my amazing husband! The one who came up with this great idea of starting a candle business. My husband & i met in January of 2016 at a grocery store & he still to this day tells me when he first saw me he knew I was going to be his wife then 6 years later we are finally married & is a family of 6!
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
I’m honestly still building the audience on our social media accounts but I can honestly say we have come a long way since we started from scratch! To any entrepreneur out there that’s just getting started like us just keep pushing & don’t give up! Ask questions, engage with the social media crowd you do have. & most of all just stay consistent & have faith!
