Scentsy is a wickless oil candle company that specializes in promoting and selling their delightfully scented creations (and super cute warmers, below). They are popular not only for the catchy name and yummy smells, but also because their candles don't have harmful ingredients that can cause cancer, infertility and so on, unlike many products on the market with hidden carcinogens. Because the candles are wickless, they are safer than burning candles that have wicks in them. In addition, they were named one of Forbes magazine's top 100 promising companies in America-no small feat for a direct selling company!



Because Scentsy operates through a party plan, it is important to ask yourself if you can, or want to sell this way. If not, however, all Scentsy consultants get their own website, so it is possible to market through the website (both online and off, using a mix of traditional methods as well as social media marketing and networking). With party plans, hosts can earn credits and be able to choose products for free, depending on how much is sold at their party. Of course, people can order directly from the consultant too, if that is easier for them. There is also Scentsy wear for consultants (such as tee shirts) so you can advertise your brand while you are out and about!

Scentsy also offers personal care products, such as shower gel, body lotion, items for the washer and dryer, and much more! I have to say this is a great development that the company has taken, and has even made me think about selling for them (imagine getting scents for your home AND your personal care products all in one place-what a bargain!)

Of course the selling requirements are a big factor too-here are the latest details from the company regarding how much a consultant has to sell to remain active:

"Consultants who do not achieve the requirement of 150 points in PRV during at least one month in a consecutive three-month period will lose their downlines but not their accounts. Their downlines will roll up to their Sponsor in this case.

No accounts will be cancelled until after December 31. Scentsy will process account cancellations only once each year, on January 1, for accounts with zero PRV points during the six-month period from July 1 through December 31. So all you need to have in sales from this time frame is only $1.

This change in policy means those Consultants who love Scentsy but who are not able to achieve 150 points in PRV during at least one month in a consecutive three-month period can continue to sell Scentsy. We believe this change will allow more Consultants to stay with Scentsy and make the most of our flexible, rewarding business ."


It is possible to do Scentsy as much or as little as you want. Some people turn it into a full-on business and others make it a (very) part-time affair, selling only to themselves!

Whatever your choice may be, I wish you much luck!

To your success,
