This is a simple business, yet you can profit. There are homes that like to use incense sticks. Find a place you may want to sell incense sticks. You opt to sell in the mall selling exclusively incense sticks, or in church, for there are many churchgoers almost every day, but Sunday is the most populous so expect to have high sales during this day. You also need suppliers. Find a supplier, and if possible go to stick incense processing company should there be one, and if not check online. This is a profitable business one must not ignore, but try.

Then explain to your customers the procedures for how to burn the incense sticks. Incense sticks usually burn for an hour but their scent lingers in a room for some hours after. There are different scents. You may try to sell all kinds of scents for there are people who like different scents of stick incense. Always bear in mind that good incense must contain only natural ingredients and essential oils That’s what you must ask the incense stick processing company. You may sell this through consignment depending on your agreement with the owner if you lack capital. Why don’t you try this kind of business?

I am sure it would be feasible if selling them to the Chinese community. I might go to the China Town and offer them. It would be a profitable business.

The most important thing in any business is for you to make sure that you have a means of getting the market to sell. If you don't sell, the business is useless.

If your place is populous, you can surely bet they will be sold out with this kind of business. Try to scout seller there and ask for the price and the location of the processing plant. You can ask for a discount.

This business would really not sell in my country. That's because the number of people that use incense are very limited. Just a few religious bodies and organizations. Homes don't really use it. I am yet to see.

There are many here in Cagayan de Oro city incense sticks beside the church and in the Chinese store in Divisoria. I will try to buy it this weekend. I have not bought this incense stick yet. I want to know how it smells.

I am not sure if there is high margin but I am sure it is a profitable business. In my place, a lot of people have managed to build a good incense business by starting small.

That's good to hear. I want to buy at least 5 sticks to know how they smell. I'm thinking if the processing of this is the same as in candle making.

This is not a profitable business in my country. I don't know of people that buy incense and for what purpose. It would not work in Nigeria for sure.

The only part of the country where this kind of business will sell very well in my part of the world is going to be in the northern part of Nigeria because a lot of Muslims make use of incense a lot.

I didn't know that. The only people that make use of incense I knew in Nigeria were the Catholics and they can't buy that much. It is not really a good business in my country all the same.
