3. The Gratitude Candle Company Story
The Gratitude Candle Company founder Jennifer (Jenny) Ballinger
Founded in 2007 and located in Medina Tennessee, Jenny has come a long way from starting a
business in her living room with a few friends, to having a full-fledged Direct Sales Company with a
catalog of services and products to offer. Jenny has been in the direct sales industry and business
development for over 15 years.
What started out as a wholesale business to high-end boutiques became a way to give back. Jenny
had been looking for a way to give back to so many of their loyal buyers and customers and that is
when the exciting new Distributorship Program was created.
Sharing Gratitude is all about bringing blessings to you and to others....blessings of sharing, caring,
giving, and reaching out to others with candles and sharing God's Love. We are a business, but we
have a PURPOSE greater than the business!
When Jenny is asked what makes Sharing Gratitude different than the rest, her answer is simple. . . it's
the human touch of Sharing Gratitude with others and letting our light SHINE!
4. Our Flagship Product
Our Flagship product is our beautiful, all natural, 64oz. Luxury Candle, retail value $125.
All of our candles are formulated with a patented premium grade blend of soy, bee,
maple, and palm waxes which allow our candles to diffuse delicate fragrant oils
without interpretation and smoke. The variety of fragrances are our exclusive blends of
the finest quality, highly concentrated essential oils.
The standards by which our candles are made will never be compromised for the sake of a
shortcut. The end results are the highest quality luxury natural cotton wick candles that
we are proud to put our company name on.
We believe that giving gratitude unconditionally opens the flow of spiritual as well as
material abundance in our lives and as part of our Sharing Gratitude philosophy, we
also donate $1 from every 64 oz. Luxury Candle sold to Charity.
