A Scentsy fundraiser makes perfect "scents," or is it "cents?"

Did you know that your organization can earn money by holding a Scentsy fundraiser? Depending on your organization's needs, the fundraiser can be conducted in different ways.
  1. The traditional fundraiser: Participants are given packets that include fundraising flyers, scent lists, order forms, an envelope for collecting orders and payments, and an incentive awards flyer. At the end of the selling period, the orders and payments are submitted to me. After tallying the orders, I present the organization with a check for the agreed upon percentage of the sales. When the Scentsy arrives, I sort the orders and present them to the organization for distribution. At this time, I also present the awarded incentives for the top selling participants.
  2. The basket party fundraiser: A display that includes a full sized Scentsy warmer and the scent jars is set up at the organization. At least one person is responsible for collecting orders and payments. At the end of the selling period, the orders and payments are submitted to me. After tallying the orders, I present the organization with a check for the agreed upon percentage of the sales. When the Scentsy arrives, I sort the orders and present them to the organization for distribution.
  3. The combination fundraiser: The organization uses both the traditional and basket party formats.
As a Scentsy Independent Consultant, I choose to donate a percentage of my commission to the organization. For example, soon I will be working with Bryan ISD's Rudder High School in order to generate funds for their Project Graduation. My entire commission (25% of the sales) will be donated. Unlike many other fundraisers, a Scentsy fundraiser does not provide marked up products for sale. The prices of the Scentsy products are the same as if purchasing them from a Scentsy consultant.
