Sobre nosotros

Originally, this business idea wasn't mine. My sister
started it about 3 years ago, right around the time Covid
hit. Eventually, I started to join her in creating them.
After a while, it became more than just something to do. So much joy
and happiness goes into each one of my candles. Although I did not come up with this idea on my own, I
treasure it like I did.

Problema

Candle lovers not having a long lasting candle aroma throughout their homes.

Solución

Lit By Liyah is a scented, multi-size candle and wax melt business with multiple different scents. Slow-burning long-lasting aroma throughout your home sounds like a lit vibe to me.

Mercado objetivo

Although our target audience is women Lit by Liyah is unisex and has a smell diversity that goes into multiple categories.

Impacto social

We will spread joy by attending local markets, craft fairs, and other events to promote and gain more business.

Próximos pasos

Financial support and connections.

Nuestras escuelas y distritos

Most things went well. I was trying to squeeze lots of the information on to one slide.

This was a fantastic pitch! You showed how informed you are about the market space you are entering by understanding and adding in the gamification that comes with your mascot.

Your video is grate and shows how much work you have put in to a Cotten candy business! I did get lost when reading the written submission as it covers skin care products and not cotton candy. This discrepancy made the pitch unclear but a simple update and clarification would get you back on track in no time.
