Use Blog Posts to Highlight Best Sellers and Drive Targeted Traffic

At the Willis Candle Shop, we believe blogs should work just as hard as your product listings. While your product pages do the selling, your blog sets the stage—and helps draw traffic through keywords like long burning candles, glass candles, and discount candles.

Promote What Sells

If you have a product that consistently performs well, like our Tobacco Candle, highlight it in blog posts. Tell customers why it works, what it smells like, and how to use it. That’s how we drive traffic to:

Feature Candle Benefits and Use Cases

Use keywords like long-burning candles and romantic candles naturally in paragraphs that explain when and how to use your products. For example:

Hosting guests? Burn one of our fall candles with warm spice notes. Want a moody evening vibe? Try one of our wood wick candles for that signature crackle and glow. Planning a dinner party? Pair our glass candles with tableware for a soft ambient glow that elevates the setting.

We’ve seen people use our luxury candles as centerpieces for fall weddings, rehearsal dinners, and even styled real estate showings. The visual impact of frosted jars with soft flickering light immediately raises the mood.

Want something bold? Our tobacco candle with warm vanilla undertones is a favorite for cigar lounges and rustic spaces. If you’re looking for a relaxing evening ritual, pairing this candle with a playlist and a glass of whiskey sets the tone just right.

Final Thoughts

Don’t overlook the power of blog content for product promotion. Blogs are a tool to connect with new audiences while reinforcing what your store already does well. If you’re highlighting a product like our Tobacco Candle, explain what makes it stand out—strong scent throw, masculine notes, or beautiful presentation.

Talk about how your glass candles reflect ambient light better in dining rooms. Describe how fall candles enhance seasonal decor, or how our wood wick candles fill a room with sound and scent at once. Use the blog to tell that story.

Another strategy? Bundle your candles in themed suggestions. For example:

A “Moody Fall Evening Set” could feature the Tobacco Candle, our Amber Candle, and a Romantic Candle.
A “Cozy Gift Trio” might include a Luxury Candle, a Glass Candle, and one of our best Scented Candles with notes like teakwood or vanilla.

When writing, always return to the purpose: help your customer solve something. Need a thoughtful last-minute gift? They’ll be looking for Nice Candles or Candles on Sale that still feel premium. Want something for their Texas-themed kitchen? A strong local angle helps our Texas Candles show up in search and sell faster.

Keep your tone inviting, your product links visible, and your keyword use strategic. This is how you build momentum post by post.
