How to Save Money at Yankee Candle Company

Burning a Yankee Candle is a great way to bring wonderful new fragrances into your home, but unfortunately they can be very expensive. A large jar candle from Yankee Candle Company can cost as much as 26 dollars, and spending this much on a candle is just not realistic for a lot of people I know. There are ways to save money on your Yankee Candle purchases, however. Here are some great money saving tips I've learned over the years:

1. Always provide your home telephone number when making a purchase at a Yankee Candle store. At first thought, it may seem strange that Yankee Candle employees ask for your telephone number every time you make a purchase. This is simply the method Yankee Candle Company uses to track consumer spending and to build there mailing list. By providing your telephone number, Yankee Candle can get your address to mail you coupons. Frequent customers often get more coupons than irregular ones. Yankee won't be able to get your address from a cell phone number though, so make sure to provide the same home phone number each time you shop to maximize your savings. (And don't worry...Yankee Candle will never sell or rent your phone number to telemarketers!)

2. Sign up to receive e-mails from Yankee Candle Company. Over the past few years, Yankee Candle has really caught up with the times and has begun doing a lot of marketing via e-mail. This often includes e-mailing special coupons and promotional offers to customers who are on their electronic mailing list. By signing up to receive e-mails via the link on the Yankee Candle website (listed in the resources section of this article), you can make sure you receive all the Yankee Candle coupons which can really add up to huge savings over time.

3. Take advantage of Yankee Candle's generous product return policy. Finally, make sure you are 100% satisfied with every Yankee Candle you buy. Many people will like the way a candle smells in the store, but then will get it home and find they don't care for the fragrance in their house. Many people will just deal with a candle they don't like, but there is really no reason for this. Yankee Candle has a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and will gladly exchange any candle you don't like, even if it's already been burned. With Yankee Candles being as expensive as they are, this policy really allows customers to get the maximum value from their purchases. Don't abuse the policy by burning candles to the end and then returning them, but if you honestly don't like a candle after only a few hours of burn time, take it back and get a new one. That way, you won't be wasting your money and can make sure every Yankee Candle that you own is one that you truly love.
