A lot of products on the market have been developed with the idea from an existing product by finding a new cause for it. This is exactly how a thirteen year old boy named Hart Main got started with his up and running business. It’s truly an inspirational story, how this pre-teen decides to make a difference and develop something new because he’s never seen it or should I say smell it. Main wound up creating fun candles, that basically are ‘ManCans’ candles, with scents made specifically for men! To think men might not want to always smell fresh clean laundry or spring breeze, scents that women mostly seem to turn to. Men want to smell things they can relate to, scents that make them comfortable and thats exactly what this thirteen year old boy created, a candle for men an with their favorite scents! A man smell is like fresh cut grass, coffee, the scent of a new glove, not lilacs and breeze, or sunset orange with strawberry, soft blanket scents. Hart Main is doing quite well averaging around three hundred orders a week, he has a long time a head for him to decide what he wishes to do with his new interest. “It started as a joke” Main stated. Last year in 2010 Main’s little sister, twelve years old, Camryn, was selling candles for her school. Hart Main was not excited about the girls scents and joke around there should be candles for guys, guys whom don’t want their bedroom to smell like a lavender soap. The children’s mother, Amy, overheard the idea of her son and quickly encouraged him to try to make some candles with masculine scents. ” I do that with all of my kids – I listen to them,” Amy Main said. The children’s mom states that when she hears her children imply something they wish to do,”even if it sounds like they’re joking, if their idea sounds like something they can do, by all means, I tell them to go for it.” Which is also why, Camryn has a dog-walking business. For now the kids mom is carrying on work as a nursing administrator at an adult-education center, and their dad is an IT Manager. When Main’s invention hit the news stands, they were flooded with interviews and orders. The candles unique scents actually draw costumers in, the scents include thus far: New York Style Pizza, Grandpa’s pipe, Sawdust, Campfire, New Mitt, Fresh Cut Grass, Coffee and Bacon. Hart main is not only showing great work traits but at the same time he’s giving back to charity! Hart makes the candles in soup cans, so he purchases the soup and then donates it to the local soup kitchens. He then returns home with the empty cans and he and his mom make the scented candles in their home kitchen. The Main’s order oils from suppliers around Ohio, and combines with the wax to create his candles. Main has several growing ideas for his candle company, he plans to become an entrepreneur, he stated “I like the fact I have control over things and can make decisions and see what’s actually happening.” A friend of Hart’s mom stated, ” Hart is very much in charge of his business and is as hands on as any CEO would be at age fifty”, it’s truly amazing what children can accomplish with the help of their inspirational parents and the will to do well!
