GoldCanyon is committed to providing "The World's Finest"® products. That means not only are our candles, natural cleaning products and bath and body products exceptional, but we also incorporate the safest production procedures to ensure your candles are as harmless as possible.
In case of accidental spills, the wax used to produce GoldCanyon candles is comfortably warm to the touch to prevent burns to children or pets.
GoldCanyon promotes the use of environmentally safe wicks in all the candles we produce.
GoldCanyon uses both zinc core and cotton wicks that are made in the USA with a safety collar on select sizes that extinguish automatically at the appropriate level.
As members of the National Candle Association, GoldCanyon has incorporated safety wicks into most candle sizes help to support the safety recommendation of discontinuing use when 1/2” of candle wax remains.

PLANT BASED HOME CLEANING
A clean home doesn’t have to involve harsh chemicals, noxious aromas and a cloud of chemical compounds in the air.

Believe it or not, it isn’t the candles. I love the Homeology products. I will tell you right off the bat, I am not a cleaner. Never have been, never will be. Wish I was. The Homeology products are our natural cleaners. They smell wonderful – no opening your window afterwards to get rid of the chemical smell. And now that I have two kitties running around my house, I don’t have to worry about what they may lick off the floor.
How does a Gold Canyon Party go? How long does it last?
The presentation itself lasts about 20 minutes, and then however long it takes for ordering to be complete. I would love to be in and out in an hour so your guests can have a nice visit.
During the presentation I talk about the product, its history, let you sniff it, and light something so the guests can experience the scent. I will talk to you about candle care as well, as it is important to make your candles last.
If you think you can handle me coming to your home for an hour, and you getting free product, lets chat.
There are several different types of Gold Canyon parties that you can host.
Traditional - This is where I would come to your house, do a demonstration, and then your guests would make their purchases.
Catalogue - If you cannot find the time to invite everyone over, you can do a catalogue party. I will provide catalogues, sample sets, and instructions. You pass them around, and collect orders. You still get the traditional benefits.
Online - These can be a bit trickier, but can work out well. You can invite everyone you know, near or far to attend, and I would give a short presentation. This can be complicated due to shipping, but we could work something out if you were interested.
A lot of people wonder why they should host a party when they can just go to their local store and buy the products they want. Well, there are a couple reasons for hosting.
Knowledge - Depending on the store you are going to, and what you are looking for, the sales staff don't know about the product. At a home party, the consultant is specifically trained to tell you about the product, and if they don't know, they will find out.
Experience - At the store, you may not be able to actually experience the product - smell, touch, whichever. At a home party, you get to experience the product.
Free Product - What store is going to give you product for free when people purchase? I know I don't know any. When your Gold Canyon reaches $150 dollars in sales, you start earning free and discounted products.
Discounts - Your guests get discounts on their purchases too! Most stores don't do that just for attending!
One question I get as a Demonstrator is “How do our candles compare to soy candles?” What makes our candles better?
It’s great to hear that you already know our candles are better. Smart girl. However, I know it’s sometimes hard when you’re put on the spot and want to tell your prospective customer, Host or new Demonstrator exactly why Gold Canyon is better.
Regarding your question about soy candles, it’s actually pretty hard to compare if you don’t know exactly which type of soy candle your customer is working with. If they don’t give you any details about their soy candle, that’s like telling your husband/boyfriend, etc. to go to the store and buy ice cream. You would never ask someone to go get you ice cream without explaining first that you want the death by chocolate flavor with all the fat and the calories in the premium brand.
It’s the same idea with soy candles—they come in so many varieties. If someone is really fond of their soy candle, they should give a brand and flavor explanation, otherwise all bets of trying to compare are off.
If I’m forced to generalize, I do know one area of weakness for all soy candles except Gold Canyon’s soy candles. Gold Canyon’s soy candles are different because we refuse to compromise on our fragrance strength and character while the candle is cold or while it is burning. We know our customers’ top priority is a strong, true-to-life smelling fragrance. So, unlike many of our competitors, we keep fragrance first and foremost at top of mind. Gold Canyon is not willing to allow our fragrance burning strength to become lessened by using soy wax, as so many other candle companies do. Gold Canyon employs the latest technology to optimize our wax and fragrance oils to bring the best smelling candles while cold and while burning.
Of course, there may be other areas where the competition falls down. Examples might include burn time, consuming all of the wax, sooting, choosing ugly fragrance and colors, etc.
Unfortunately, without knowing the specific candle it is hard to say. When in this sticky situation, it’s best to point out all of the benefits of Gold Canyon. All of the good things you already know about Gold Canyon are always true of any new product we create. Like I said above, we never compromise on fragrance strength and with two wicks, even burning, high quality wax, etc, there’s a lot to tout when it comes to Gold Canyon.
In my opinion, no other company is ever going to measure up, so why compare in the first place! By the way, have you seen “The World’s Finest”® section of our new Spring 2010 catalog? This a great place to get more information and help your customers see the Gold Canyon difference.
Scent Blending Recipes are carefully selected recipes of individual candles that when burning together, create their own unique, blended scent experience.
To maximize your fragrant experience, use the exact sizes and quantities noted in each recipe – a slight alteration can be like adding salt when you needed sugar.
Winter Garden
A refreshing and soothing balance of delicate fruits, florals and relaxing essentials oils come together for an uplifting winter garden aroma.
16 oz. Water Garden

FIRST: Arrange the candles on a heat-safe surface with the largest in the middle and smaller candles interspersed throughout. For votive and Tealight candles, use a holder to protect the surface.
SECOND: Place each candle approximately two inches apart in your arrangement.
THIRD: Light each candle and let the aromas mingle for at least 30 minutes to create your new fragrance experience.

As a proud member of the Canadian Direct Sellers Association (CDSA), Gold Canyon supports the Association's "Code of Ethics," a promise to uphold the highest standards of business practices. Pledging to abide by the Code's standards and procedures is a condition of admission and continuing membership in the Association. The Code speaks to both the consumer and seller.

Just like anything else, it’s what you put into it. As a rep, you make 25% up to 36%; of course, this doesn’t take into account any extra incentives you may offer to your customers.
And I’m sure you’re aware, as people join your team, you make money off their sales. How much you make depends on where you are on the leadership ladder.
If you aren’t out there doing anything, you won’t make money, plain and simple. If you’re working it like there is tomorrow, you should be. Simple.
It is so important we remember to take care of the women in our lives as well as ourselves. Most of us run around each day spending much of our time taking care of others such as, our spouse, children, parents, coworkers and the list goes on. As you take care of everyone else’s needs, it is easy to forget yourself. However, for a woman to give her best to others, she needs to take care of herself and renew on a regular basis.
EMERGE™ Total Response Therapy body products were created by Gold Canyon to help women renew, focus and regain balance. Created for the body, mind and spirit, these products will give energy for the body, focus for the mind and balance for the spirit. By using these bath and body products, you will gain a sense of confidence that will help you to go into the world as the best possible version of yourself.
It is simple and easy and delivers tremendous results. Do small things to help refresh yourself, like taking a relaxing bath or using EMERGE™ body products with minerals and touch practices to revive you from the inside out. Prepare your skin and rejuvenate your mind for the fun outdoor days of summer.
Make these practices a daily ritual for you and your body. Become centered and strong so that you can face the hectic world as a healthy and whole woman, prepared to be your best. Feel renewed, confident and empowered.
Rise to a new sense of energy. Reach a new level of focus. Find a new state of balance.
