Hosting a Party Makes Perfect Scents!

Hosting a Scentsy party is the way to get free and half-priced Scentsy. There are different types of parties that you can host, and with each one I will help you so that you can earn the greatest amount of Host Rewards.


Full Sized Testers
The Presentation Party
This is the traditional home party and is great for people who are not very familiar with Scentsy. I bring my full-sized scent testers and an assortment of Scentsy products for display. When your guests arrive, I will spend a little time demonstrating how Scentsy works. The real magic happens, though, when everyone starts smelling the scents.


The Open House Party
The Open House Party is perfect for guest who are already familiar with Scentsy. It is a casual and low pressure way to share Scentsy and earn Host Rewards. During the Open House Party, I will set up a display and will answer guests' questions as they arise. There is not a "formal" presentation. Also, guests are free to come and go during the two to three hour Open House Party.

The Tote Bag Party
This is my version of Scentsy's Basket Party. I let you borrow a fashionable Scentsy tote bag filled with my mini-testers, catalogs, order forms, a Scentsy warmer, and a notebook with directions for ensured success. You get to keep the tote bag for a week, and you take the tote bag with you to work and friends' houses to collect orders. At the end of the week, we meet again and tally up your Host Rewards. How easy is that?

Mini-Testers



The Combination Party
Just like it sounds, the Combination Party combines the Tote Bag Party and either the Presentation or Open House Party in order to maximize your Host Rewards!

Don't forget that during January 2011, hosts earn DOUBLE the amount of half-priced items!

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.
