Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jessica & Candace Brown. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Jessica & Candace, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. How did you come up with the idea for your business?

Elegantly Divine Candle Co. was founded during the COVID-19 pandemic as a form of therapy in response to the challenging times the world was facing. The act of creating candles became a way to find peace and comfort amidst uncertainty. What began as a personal passion to create beautiful, soothing experiences evolved into a business that now offers luxury candles and home fragrances, crafted to provide not only scent but an atmosphere of warmth, relaxation, and tranquility. Every candle is a reflection of that healing energy, designed to transform spaces and elevate moments of self-care.

Jessica & Candace, 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?

Elegantly Divine Candle Co. was born from a love of elegance, ambiance, and the power of scent to transform a space. We are Jess and Candace Brown, two passionate individuals who share a love for music, coffee, and creating beautiful moments. As mothers, we understand the importance of finding comfort and joy in the little things—whether it’s a warm cup of coffee in the morning or the perfect scent filling a room.

Elegantly Divine Candle Co. was created for those who crave warmth, luxury, and unforgettable experiences through home fragrance. Our brand is rooted in the belief that candles aren’t just about scent—they’re about creating experiences, setting moods, and evoking emotions that linger long after the flame has been extinguished. Every candle is a reflection of our passion for beauty, relaxation, and creating spaces that inspire.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

Elegantly Divine Candle Co.’s reputation within the industry was built on a foundation of quality, luxury, and attention to detail. From the beginning, we focused on crafting premium, handcrafted soy candles that elevate any space. Our commitment to using the finest ingredients and creating unique, unforgettable scents helped distinguish us in a crowded market.

Additionally, our dedication to customer experience—creating products that speak to their senses and evoke emotional connections—has led to a loyal following. We’ve also made it a point to be transparent about our process, sharing our story and values with our customers, which has fostered trust and authenticity.

Through consistent brand messaging, high-quality offerings, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, Elegantly Divine has earned its place in the luxury home fragrance industry. Being rooted in personal passion and a deep understanding of what our customers need has also allowed us to build lasting relationships and carve out a unique niche in the market.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

The most effective strategy for building Elegantly Divine Candle Co.’s clientele has been a combination of authentic storytelling, strategic partnerships, and providing a high-quality product that speaks for itself. Here’s a breakdown of the approach:
1. Authentic Storytelling: Sharing the journey behind the brand—starting during the COVID-19 pandemic as a form of therapy—has created an emotional connection with our audience. People are drawn to the story of resilience, creativity, and passion, and it resonates with those who appreciate the intention and care put into every product.
2. Quality and Craftsmanship: Our commitment to creating luxury, handcrafted candles with premium ingredients ensures that every product is worth the investment. The experience of burning one of our candles is transformative, and this word-of-mouth recommendation has played a significant role in building a loyal customer base.
3. Social Media Engagement: Leveraging platforms like Instagram to showcase not only our products but also the ambiance and lifestyle they represent has helped attract a targeted audience. Engaging content that connects with our customers on an emotional level, along with showcasing behind-the-scenes glimpses into the creation process, has been a major factor in growing our following.
4. Collaborations and Partnerships: Whether through pop-up shops, market events, or partnerships with other like-minded businesses, strategic collaborations have allowed us to reach new potential customers while staying true to our brand values. Events like these also create opportunities for customers to experience our products in person, which solidifies trust.
5. Customer Experience and Loyalty: Providing exceptional customer service, personalized touches (such as custom packaging or handwritten notes), and loyalty programs has made customers feel valued and appreciated. Creating an experience beyond just the purchase encourages repeat business and referrals.
6. Quality Branding and Consistency: From the sleek design of our packaging to the messaging on our social platforms, every aspect of our branding has been consistent and aligned with the luxury, warmth, and ambiance we want to evoke. The consistency in how we present our brand across all channels has helped build trust and recognition.

By blending personal connections, high-quality products, and thoughtful engagement strategies, Elegantly Divine Candle Co. has been able to attract and retain a dedicated customer base.
