Business Description:
Scentsy began in 2003 with the powerfully simple idea of aromatic candles – decorative warmers with wax melted by the heat of a light bulb instead of a traditional wick and flame. Scentsy wickless candles are highly scented bars of wax called “Scentsy bars” that melt at a very low temperature in our specially designed electric warmers. Since Scentsy bars are not burned using a flame & they melt at such a low temperature, the “Scentsy system” poses NO danger to children or pets! Scentsy bars contain more fragrance than our competitors jar candles & Scentsy bars are less expensive too!

Commissions and bonuses are paid on a monthly basis to qualified Consultants. You start out earning 20% commission on your own sales, and after you sell your first $1000, you will receive 25% commission. On top of your commission, you earn bonuses as you build your own downline sales team.

Yes, you are allowed to have your own website, with the prior approval of the Company, and some restrictions apply.
Where can I sell?
As an Independent Consultant, you can sell products online via your Consultant website, and/or your own website (with Company approval). Offline, you can sell products through in-home parties, basket parties, craft shows, events, as well as catalog sales. You can NOT sell on EBAY or in retail establishments.
Does this company offer fundraisers?
You may organize fundraisers with Scentsy, however the consultant agrees to donate a percentage of their commissions - Scentsy does not match or make any contribution. The amount you donate is up to you, the consultant. This is a great way to build up your customer base!
Are training tools available?
Yes! There are terrific online training videos and materials available on your online Workstation.
Am I required to hold home parties?
No, you are not required to hold home parties. While they are a very effective way to demonstrate Scentsy's products and to allow customers to experience all the wonderful scents, come in personal contact with your perspective customers and/or recruits, you are not required to hold home parties.
