Nicole from AUZi Insurance joins me on the podcast again, this time to chat about the growing concerns surrounding car diffusers and insurance claims. We unpack why there's been a spike in incidents (especially during summer) and how this could impact insurance coverage for candle and diffuser makers.

In this episode we chat about:
- Why insurance claims for car diffusers are increasing.
- The changes that might be coming and what makers can do to stay informed and compliant.
- Practical tips to protect your business through labelling, education and safer practices.

Welcome to the 7th episode in our Candle Maker Connections series. This time I'm joined by Sue, Gina & George to talk about the how/when/why of expanding your product range beyond candles. We deep dive into the challenges, opportunities and lessons learned from adding new products like wax melts, diffusers and room sprays. Whether you're thinking about expanding or just curious about what goes into it, this conversation is packed with insights and tips.

In this episode we chat about:
- Which products to expand with first (hint: listen to your customers).
- Why the testing phase isn't only limited to candles.
- How having various products can boost sales.
