9 social media content ideas for candle brands

Candles are sold on mood, scent and gifting. Content should make people imagine the scent: describe notes vividly, show the burn, and build seasonal moments around your collection.

Who you’re talking to

People creating cosy spaces at home and shoppers looking for thoughtful gifts.

  • — Candles that tunnel or burn unevenly
  • — Scents that are too weak or too strong
  • — Hard to pick a scent online
