For Every Body goes national with new For Every Home business


For Every Body, a Lindon-based candle manufacturer and one of the largest privately held women-owned candle companies in the United States, has launched a direct sales division called For Every Home.

The new division will operate as a subsidiary business to For Every Body’s multi-million dollar operations. For Every Home features independent consultants who will sell exclusive lines of candles, accessories and home décor through home parties and Internet sales.

Becky Lunceford Anderson, company founder and mother of nine, started For Every Body 13 years ago from the kitchen of her Provo farmhouse. In 2007, Anderson launched For Every Home as a way to give women like her the opportunity to have successful home-based businesses that allows them to spend time with their families and earn a rewarding income.

“I know what it is like to raise a family on a tight budget,” Anderson said. “For Every Home will give women the freedom, flexibility and financial independence to spend time with their children, have fun, and increase their family income.”

For Every Home operations will officially launch March 1, 2008. The company will introduce an exclusive line of new products, unveil its competitive compensation plan and commence its national recruiting efforts.

“For Every Home is unlike any other home party company in the state of Utah at this time,” said Paul Anderson, For Every Body CEO. “The products offered and the competitive compensation plan makes this an opportunity that can easily fit into the lifestyle of nearly every Utah women.”

The Direct Selling Association (DSA) reports that 80 percent of direct sellers in Utah are women and in 1995, direct sales accounted for more than $268 million in sales in the state. Well-known direct selling companies in Utah include Heritage Makers, Nu Skin Enterprises, Stampin Up! Tahitian Noni International and Xango LLC

New and Improved Atlanta Showroom


For the past seven years, For Every Body has had a permanent showroom at AmericasMart in Atlanta, Georgia. The purpose of the showroom is to have all of our products on display in one location. Twice each year, customers from around the world come to see our candles, find out what is new, and place orders.


In preparation for the 2008 show, we completely remodeled our showroom. We ripped out old carpet, painted the walls and ceiling, and brought in all new hutches, tables and signs. The result was a very impressive, modern showroom that attracted hundreds of customers to stop by and check out our new lines of candles.


Seven For Every Body representatives were in Atlanta last week. Everyone that passed by the new showroom commented how much they loved our new look. Some of the most popular lines at the show were Sniff Your Surroundings, AbsorbAll and Zenovation. Special thanks to Patty Hill for all her work redesigning the showroom and supervising the remodeling process.
