Scent Circles

One of my favorite Scentsy products is the Scent Circle. I have to admit, though, that the first time I used a Scent Circle I was less than impressed. I took the Scent Circle out of the wrapper and hung it in my office. For the first few days, the scent was STRONG--almost too strong. Then the scent gradually faded. I thought to myself, "Even though the Scent Circle only costs $3, the amount of time that it fragranced my office was not worth it."

After reading the directions on the back of the Scent Circle package, I realized that I hadn't used the Scent Circle properly. By following the directions (i.e., Pull the string out and hang freely. Adjust scent strength by exposing more of the Scent Circle.), I was able to get my money's worth and then some! But still, I didn't like how the Scent Circle looked hanging in it's package. After some research, I found an easier and prettier way to leave the wrapper on the Scent Circle in order to maximize fragrance endurance. For my customers' convenience, I print the expanded directions on a label that I affix to the back of the Scent Circle package. Below are the directions and pictures to help you visualize the process.

Maximizing Your Scent Circle

1. Cut plastic wrapper above Scent Circle.

2. Take Scent Circle out of wrapper. Cut approximately 1/2" off open end. Cut a small triangle out of sealed end to allow string to go through.

3. Hang in desired location.



4. When scent becomes weak, take Scent Circle out of wrapper and cut another 1/2" off.

Scent Circles are available in all 80 scents PLUS LEATHER.

Is your house safely scented?

What can Scentsy do for you?

I became a Scentsy consultant at the end of November, 2010. Since then; I have sold over $7000 worth of Scentsy products, been promoted twice, and met lots of new people. This weekend, to reward my hard work (and to help me with my Scentsy business), I bought myself an iPad2 with my commission money.

I joined Scentsy because . . .

• I'm a Scentsy addict
• I believe in the quality of Scentsy products
• I like the core values Scentsy promotes: Simplicity, Authenticity, Generosity
• I like to meet new people (really--it's true)
• I wanted to have my own home business

Why Scentsy?

Scentsy is one of the fastest growing direct selling businesses. Scentsy joined the Direct Selling Association in 2004. It is one of the top 100 direct selling companies as identified by the Direct Selling News. In its first 7 years, Scentsy generated more than $700 million in revue. Scentsy is sold in the US and Canada--and now is expanding to the UK and Germany!

Additionally, the start-up costs include a free website for 3 months ($10 a month after that), free credit card processing (and no credit card fees), free shipping on orders over $150, and a free online workstation. There is also great consultant support and training. When someone joins Scentsy, he or she must join under (i.e., be sponsored by) another consultant. This allows the new consultant to have an immediate support system. There are weekly training conference calls, web-based trainings, an online forum (one of my favorite training tools!), annual and seasonal trainings, and a consultant support department.

Commission is based on ranking and is no less than 20% of a consultant's personal retail volume. The more a consultant sells and recruits others to the Scentsy team, the more the consultant can earn. Commission is paid monthly via a VISA debit card--how cool is that?
