Doug Coomer: North Bay Candleworks

What makes you a trailblazer?

Our team is innovative and always looking for new and better ways to improve our products. We immerse ourselves and get constant feedback through artisan craft fairs and farmers markets, which can lead to new products, like our laser engraving service.

Describe how you use innovation to stay ahead of the pack.
We are now incorporating custom engraving into some of our candle vessels, some of which allow the light to pass through. We also offer laser engraving for wedding gifts, corporate event prizes and even bridal showers. If you can think of it, we can engrave it.
