Lumin-Essence is just one of the unique independent traders hosted from the Dolphin Shopping Centre’s Gallery Level. We are also developing new exclusive ticketed events designed to give something back to our customers, the first of which looks set for October and will give shoppers some great deals and an exclusive insight into our festive ranges.” “Thanks to our stability, we are looking at moving forward with planned in-store improvements that will enable us to offer the best product range possible. If we were to expand, additional premises would have to offer the same benefits and support.” We’re the shop-front to the Gallery Level of independent traders with excellent access, convenient travel links and parking. Location has also been key in developing the business established in 2004 by Lisa and Darrin Abbott, comments Catherine “Our Dolphin Shopping Centre position is ideal. Nothing goes on the shop floor without six staff members trying and testing it at home.” “We’re passionate about the products we sell and that passes through to our customers. “We favour British and particularly local suppliers and our customers love gemstone jewellery from Essania (Ferndown), Wax Bears from Spetisbury, driftwood candle holders crafted by Simply a Gift in Poole, and Wax Lyrical reed diffusers from Cumbria, to name a few. “Strong supplier relations are vital in ensuring quality product ranges while passing on the best possible deals to our customers,” said Catherine. From candles to children’s Jelly Cat giftware, to the latest shabby chic inspired essentials from Giesla Graham and beautiful recycled glass artefacts. The first to introduce the Yankee Candle brand locally, Lumin-Essence’s extensive range now incorporates WoodWicks, unique gifts and home furnishings. Winners of Best Independent Window Display and runners-up of the Best Overall Independent in the 2010 Top of the Shops awards, Lumin-Essence has increased their offering to customers with additional services such as in-store ordering, private in-store party events and home party opportunities.Īfter all, who wouldn’t enjoy having exclusive after-hours access to candle and giftware heaven in the company of close friends, especially when the host receives an array of complementary goodies?Ĭustomers are further rewarded with a loyalty card that offers £10 off when completed while a recycling scheme helps customers dispose of their stickered Lumin-Essence jars to receive £1 off their next candle. That’s why most of our products fall within a manageable £20 price mark.” Although candles aren’t an essential, they are a lifestyle choice and we try to offer products to make it heaven for your home. Feedback and buying patterns show people are staying in more and investing in their home environment. “We talk to our customers so we know what they want. “The recession has been tough on local traders, but Lumin-Essence has weathered the storm well and we believe that success is down to putting the customer first, almost going back to traditional basics. “Directing our efforts away from online purchasing was a major decision,” explains store manager Catherine Standen. The resulting free-up of staff time has allowed the local business to concentrate on developing the in-store experience, ensuring flexibility to proactively explore new product lines, trends and services. Turning away from e-commerce may seem like a brave move to make but with strong trading enjoyed in the Dolphin Shopping Centre Lumin-Essence took that leap of faith. After five years trading from the Dolphin Shopping Centre, Poole’s favourite candle lifestyle store shares its secrets of survival, which include a ‘back to basics’ focus on traditional trading values of excellent customer service and quality product offer.
