We love highlighting and supporting the entrepreneurs who make our community thrive. This summer, we’ve partnered with Amazon Accelerate to spotlight Amazon sellers like Wax & Wit Candle Co. Rabecka Kelsey started Wax & Wit while looking to pivot from her already successful skincare brand with the goal of creating a line of fun, inspiring products that deliver joy to everyday customers. Wax & Wit started as and remains a family business, with Rabecka handling product vision and production and her husband, Brian, overseeing marketing and sales. All Wax & Wit candles are hand poured by the Kelseys and their team of 12 full-time staff members. With a mission to spread happiness to people in need, Wax & Wit produces special-edition candles to donate to meaningful causes like breast cancer awareness. Amazon is Wax & Wit’s biggest sales channel. The duo launched on Amazon in 2019, and watched sales double each month, achieving seven figures in sales within the first year in Amazon’s store. Wax & Wit participates in Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), which allows Wax & Wit to store their products and deliver candles quickly to customers across the country. Amazon’s tools and services, like FBA, have empowered the family-owned business to rapidly scale its production and grow its business. Sellers can network and learn from fellow sellers like Wax & Wit, plus hear from Amazon executives about new innovations Amazon is developing in support of independent sellers at Amazon’s premier seller conference, Amazon Accelerate.
