notes. “They are beautiful and sparkly, and retailers use them for their displays; consumers like them for Zen gardens, kitchens and bathrooms.” The company’s aromatherapy products, Himalayan salt lamps and jewelry are also very popular for the holiday season. Wholesale prices are posted on the company website, and retail markup ranges from two to five times wholesale. “Pendulums wholesale for $1.50 and retail for $10,” Hollenberg reveals. “Crystal globes wholesale for $1.50, and I have some customers selling them for $15.” Universe of Energies offers super bulk pricing, well below wholesale, for large quantities in several

categories. In addition, the company offers Feng Shui consultation, starting at $55. The consultation includes a review of a retailer’s floor plan and a 30-minute consultation by phone, on ways to improve the flow of Chi and balance the energy, as well as other suggestions for improvements. “The flow in the store needs to be open, and store owners need to be sure they don’t block areas of the stores,” Hollenberg points out. “Clutter in the store or store window can be a problem, and light is an issue in a lot of stores. Light sources should be used to enhance the areas and light up dark areas. Those are things you often see in smaller stores.” ■ For more information: Universe of Energies Distribution, Inc. P.O.
