One of the benefits of being a Scentsy consultant is that you are provided with a personal website where you can grow your team and take web orders.  You have the option of deciding on a name for your business or your web address. The address will look like https://whateveryoupick.scentsy.us (or .ca for Canadian consultants).  If you ask around you may get ideas on the “whateveryoupick” portion of your website.  Though the information below addresses six common errors when naming your Scentsy business website:

1. Double letters – particularly ss – i.e. janesscents you’ll lose people who never know if it’s one S or two.

2. Unkonventional spellings – kandles, etc. Generally you go with those unconventionals when what you really want is taken – meaning if wicklesscandles is taken and you opt for wicklesskandles you could inadvertently send people to wicklesscandles – someone else’s site.

3. Avoid dashes and dots – if you have to explain if it’s a dash or underscore, or dot, you’ll lose people.

4. ID numbers. In previous P&Ps we HAD to change our site and were not allowed to use that # in our address. Now the language is softer that you should or could change it. Though corporate has reminded us on a number of occasions to guard your ID# as you would your own SSN. That is the number that you need to login to sites or when you call corp. the first thing they ask for is your ID#. To avoid identity fraud and the possibility that someone can pose as you to change your account in any manner, don’t publish that number to anyone.

5. Anything that requires you to explain or further elaborate. If you respond “it’s mysite.scentsy.us” then most will be able to go there without problem. Even if you’re talking about publishing the site address, you want it to be easily memorable so they can go to it later, without the need to write it down for future reference.

If you have to audibly say – it’s “michelle” with two ell’s, or “for you” with the numeric 4, or “kathy” with a k…. anything that needs ‘fine print’ for someone to easily find you should be avoided. Even scents can be confusing – of course we all almost instantly think s-c-e-n-t-s but others may wonder if it’s sense or cents.

6. Think of connotation or what message are you sending and does it portray a professional image. Smell isn’t always a positive word where as odor isn’t either – though technically they simply mean or relate the the nose/olfactory. Smells is a verb, and not a noun, so if you’re making up a word to change it to a noun (as in such and such smells or sniff the smells) that falls under same as unkonventional spellings. Same for personal interests or hobbies – pookie.scentsy.us or squaredancer.scentsy.us may not be taken as seriously.

Before you flame me and defend your position why you may have chosen something similar to one outlined above, please keep in mind that these are not just my opinions, but also those of marketing and business guru’s when it comes to naming a business. I am also assuming that if you’re investing in a vinyl or decal then you are treating your business like a business and not as a hobby – else you likely wouldn’t go to the effort of marketing your business.

For those who are not business builders (and there are many, and that is totally fine and acceptable), then the naming conventions aren’t as important. I’m merely referring to business builders.

RYBLAB – Run Your Business Like A Business.

Just as there is more than one way to skin a cat, there are numerous ways that Scentsy consultants make their samples.  The information contained below is just one way.  Take what you like and discard the rest!

Why and how I use samples –

I don’t let any of my business cards leave my hands without having a wickless candle sample attached to it.  People generally desire to smell, touch, taste, or hear something before they’re truly sold on it.  Scentsy is no different.

Where I get the wax to use –

I don’t pay for the wax I use to make samples. When I place an order I always make sure it’s at least $150 or more so that I can take advantage of the hostess benefits, including free and half off items.  The wax I get with those perks is what I use to make the samples.  Generally I like to use the bricks, as it’s a better value; but I have also been known to use bars sometimes too.

What scents I use –

I have a couple standards that I like to use: Welcome Home, Clean Breeze and Vanilla Suede.  I chose those because they are drastically different from each other.  Clean Breeze and Welcome Home are in the Favorites category so those are definitely flagged as popular.  Vanilla Suede is a bit of a masculine/leather type scent and unique on its own.  It doesn’t really matter what scent(s) you choose to use.  No matter what – some will love it; and others not.

The process –

1. I generally start with a brick.  Then chunk off some wax with a butter knife, enough to fill a microwave safe dish.  I use a 2 cup Pyrex. (Shown here Rustic Lodge brick)
2. Microwave long enough to liquefy the wax – approx. 2-3 minutes. (Shown here Clean Breeze bar)
3. Pour the liquid wax into candy plastic molds. You can generally find the molds at craft stores such as Michael’s or Hobby Lobby or various places online. You can oft times grab a coupon to these stores for 25-40% off their websites.  The shape of mold you use is up to you.  Some people like to get fancy and use hearts around Valentine’s Day or leaves in the fall, etc.  I mail many of my samples, so I have chosen to use very plain, simple rectangle molds – similar to the Andes chocolate mints you get at restaurants with your bill.  This way they are thin enough to avoid paying extra postage due to the USPS non-machinable surcharge.
4. I allow them to sit on the counter for a few minutes to start to harden.  When I can safely move the wax filled molds, I put them into the freezer for about 5-10 minutes to finish hardening.  This step also allows them to easily pop out of the molds by merely turning them over.
5. While the wax is in the freezer I prepare my business cards, annotating them with the scent of the sample.  I prefer simplicity and to work smarter, not harder.  Therefore I have a couple of self inking stamps that I ordered from vistaprint.com.  They are offered for FREE quite frequently – I just pay the price of postage which is generally $5 (+/-) depending on if you order other free items as well.  The stamps I ordered simply have the name of the scent on them – that’s it, such as Clean Breeze.  I set out a couple rows of business cards on the counter and in assembly line fashion stamp many at one time.  By the time the wax is ready to come out of the molds, the ink has also adequately dried on my biz cards, so that they won’t smear.
6. My samples are then placed into 2” x 3” bead bags.  These tiny zip lock bags can also be purchased at craft stores, Walmart, Target, Meijer or online.  I paid $1.09 for 100 bags at Meijer.
7. The sample is then stapled to the back of my business card.  I have heard of some consultants using larger bags and placing their business cards inside the ziplock.  I don’t care for that method because the card could become oily or goopy if the wax melts.  Also I think it’s easier to rip the sample off, then actually place it in a warmer, or purse, wallet, glove box, drawer, linen closet, etc. and then keep the card handy for future use.
8. The end. Samples made.

Where do I leave samples?

Look for a future post addressing this issue.  I have lots of ideas.  For now, I just wanted to put it out there how I make mine.  As I mentioned, there are many ways you can make samples.  This is just one method.

People often ask me what have I found most beneficial in building my Scentsy business.  The two tools that have helped me the most are 1: This www.thrivingcandlebusiness.com website and 2: samples.

Keep it simple!

At least once each week, someone asks me to share how I have built a successful online direct sales business. While I am not a fan of form letters and automated responses, I thought for the sake of time management, I’d turn the response into a post since it’s such a common question.

I work my business entirely online. It’s possible to be successful with direct sales if you have internet marketing knowledge and experience. Without these two vital components, it’s definitely going to be quite the challenge unless you supplement it with offline activities as well.

I have always worked my current candle business online when I started in 2006.  I have never done a home or basket (catalog) party with Scentsy. I’ve facilitated plenty of those over the last 22 years I’ve been in direct sales, but none with Scentsy wickless.

With regard to whether or not there is too much online competition with all the consultants trying to work their business online, it depends on how you look at it. There certainly are far more consultants out there than when I started almost five years ago, but there are also so many more leads out there than could ever be satisfied by all the consultants. Also now Scentsy has brand recognition in many sectors, I’m more sought after online today. Initially no one had even heard of Scentsy flameless candles. People tend to be much more leery when they have no idea about the product or company.

I don’t pay for any advertising, but plenty of consultants do – either in Pay Per Click advertising, sponsored ads or a number of other advertising opportunities to rank high or drive web traffic. Nor do I pay for the services of a SEO expert. I know for a fact that some consultants are paying literally unbelievable and astronomical fees each month for their ranking/traffic. To be successful online you need to be prepared to invest a great deal of time or money or a combo of both.

I’ve achieved my ranking and success all organically which means I’ve invested human resources (me time) into employing various internet marketing techniques. I’m also self taught in internet marketing (read: I had no idea what I was doing), I just started reading and reading and learning, and studying the “art” of internet marketing. That’s also part of the time investment. It’s also very dynamic, so what I did or learned 18 months ago is old school now. I don’t know anyone personally who could help me learn it or even do some of the work necessary, so for me it is a large time investment.

I don’t mean to sound so ambiguous, but it’s just that learning IM is much like learning a 2nd language. It’d be if someone said that they really want to target the Hispanic community … but they don’t know how to speak Spanish. It’s certainly possible to learn but it just takes time (or good connections to people who already know what to do and have time to invest in your online business!)

It’s easy to teach someone how to do a home party or a vendor event or how to set up a display. Those are very task oriented activities. But teaching someone a second language takes a lot of work and time.  Also parties have a beginning and an ending date. You set it up, you do it, and you close it. Internet marketing is ongoing. You can’t just do it a little and expect favorable results (just like exercising!)

The short answer to the question “How do you work your business online?” is simply: Internet Marketing. If you know IM, then you know what that means and what it entails.  If you don’t know what that means, then perhaps working your direct sales business online isn’t the right platform for you right now.

You can still work your business offline while you learn internet marketing, just be prepared to view it as being in college to earn a degree or learning to speak a foreign language and you’ll have to work your homework daily.

Unfortunately a lot of consultants and prospects don’t get that above concept and needed time commitment. I can’t tell you how many prospects have contacted me and asked if I could teach them IM. I explain that I can certainly HELP them in their IM efforts, but it’s not realistic to expect a sponsor to have the time to “be a college professor to teach this degree program.” Internet Marketing coaches get paid big bucks to share their knowledge, skills and abilities. It’s a full-time business for coaches. I certainly can’t mentor my team/group full time and teach IM too.

I’d rather be authentic and upfront about that than tout unrealistic promises just to get them to sign on the dotted line.

I’ve lost a handful of prospects to other sponsors because apparently other consultants have “promised to teach them internet marketing.” Though, those same people are still Escential consultants after a year. So I guess it didn’t necessarily work out as they had hoped.

I encourage everyone to shop around for sponsors to find a good fit before joining. But I would also caution anyone who gets a promise from a potential sponsor that they’ll be taught IM.  Contact other existing consultants in her/his downline and ask them how much internet marketing coaching they received from their Sponsor.  That’ll be the true litmus test.

Scentsy Wickless candles just signed its 100,000^th consultant this week. That’s quite a milestone.  When I started with the company, back in the olden days of 2006, there were only 500 consultants company wide. That’s such a wild concept considering my own personal group is larger now than the entire company was when I started my Scentsy journey.

As I sit here in my rocking chair, quilt on lap, reminiscing about what it was like to walk a mile to school, uphill, barefoot in the snow, I’ll share what it was like when I was a brand new Scentsy consultant.

My Starter Kit

I received a Java candle warmer as shown in the above photo, lower right image on left page of the catalog.  It was brown and shaped like a small coffee pot.  It’s now retired. The candle bar I received was Rum Cake.  It’s similar to our current Sugar Cookie, only about ten times stronger.  It’s now retired.  The room spray was Flower Shop.  The container was metal, not like the now plastic canister. It was very strong smelling; obviously floral and heavily rose scented. Not my favorite. It is now retired.

The party testers had metal caps on them (shown in above picture). There were no basket testers or mini testers. There was no New Consultant Start-Up Guide, no eBooks, I don’t think there was even much of a Policies and Procedures Guide.  When I asked if I could have an external website, they weren’t sure how to answer that as no one had one previously. The catalog was 12 pages, approximately 8” x 8” in size, warmers were priced at $14.95. I think bars were $2.95 each.

Products

We didn’t have midsize warmers or plug-in warmers; there were no Travel Tins. There was a brick included in the optional Consultant Scent of the Month kit, but it was wrapped in cellophane (I found an old chunk in the back of a drawer and is also shown in the above photo).  Bricks were not available for customers to purchase. Some of my favorite scents that are no longer around include Tuscan Garden, Rum Cake, Black Pepper and Clove, Pomegranate Orange Zest and Fresh Brewed Coffee. Hanging Fresheners were called Car Candles and they were not available in all scents.

Fairs and Shows

To give you an idea how small of a little group we were back in the olden days, if you wanted to do a vendor event, we just called Scentsy and told them how much inventory we wanted to “borrow” and they’d ship it out.  Then after the event, we could pay for what we used and then send back the rest if it didn’t sell.

Regional Seminars

The first regional event where I gave a presentation as a Director was called a “Blitz” (now known as World Tour). There was a spectacular turn out of almost 30 consultants and potential recruits.  It was the Midwest Blitz held in South Bend, IN.

Websites

The corporate consultant websites that we now have is the third one since I started. We’ve upgraded and migrated a few times.  There was no web policy at the time.  Initially I was told I could have an additional, external website because at the time our corporate replicated websites left much to be desired.  They were bare bones and served a purpose, but didn’t contain a great deal of information.

I built an extensive external website but once complete, I was then told that we could not use the word Scentsy or any of the images or product names.  So then I needed to rework the entire site to remove all references to the company, no secret keywords, no meta tags, nothing that had reference to Scentsy wickless candles. It was a generic “wickless candle” website and somewhat covert; no different really than those you see now for companies like Melaleuca that can only advertise as “wellness company”.

Then lo and behold, as with any young company going through growing pains, someone else came along and decided that we once again could have websites that used the word Scentsy, and could have product images and could once again be overt about it. If you want to survive working with a new or young company, you really need to be flexible and learn to adapt … a lot!

Everybody Knows Your Name

The theme song to the 1980’s television sitcom was “Where Everybody Knows Your Name.” This is what it was like at Scentsy back in the good old days.  There were a handful of staff members, many of whom have since moved on to other ventures. Some of the original ones are still there, but it was very easy to get any one of them personally on the phone at any time, including Orville.

I could call up and say “This is Laurie Ayers” and would always get a friendly response like “Hi Laurie, how’s it going?”  Laurie Willis was the Customer Service department (yes I think she was the entire department then) so I didn’t want them to get confused, otherwise I could have omitted my last name and they’d still know who I was.

Bring Back My Bar

Next week, starting July 1, 2010 and running for the entire month of July, Scentsy is running a limited time only Bring Back My Bar Promotion.  Twenty scents that have been retired will be brought back so that you too can experience a whiff of Scentsy in the good old days.

Selected scents being brought back include: Eucalyptus, Strawberry Sweetie, Watermelon, Leather, Cashmere, Mysterious, Sizzlin Coconut, Fried Ice Cream, Key Lime Tortilla, Newborn Nursery, Luscious Lemon, Banana Nut Bread, Apples and Pears, French Vanilla, Cappuccino, Pumpkin Pie, Eggnog, Pink Plumeria Passion, Blackberry Bushel and Cheerful Day. You can read scent descriptions here. Don’t miss out – Set your Google Calendar, smart phone reminders or Outlook for next Thursday:  “July 1 – click on http://la.scentsy.us to order my favorite wax!”

Still Plenty of Room for More

Just because 100,000 people have decided to jump on the Scentsy wagon, there are currently approximately only 70,000 active consultants total – this includes all 50 states, Puerto Rico, Canada and Guam.  US Population in 2010 is 308 Million and growing.  Add another 33 plus Million people in Canada. You can clearly see that current Scentsy consultants only make up a tiny grain of sand in the vast sea of potential candle lovers so just let me know if you’d like information about starting your own candle business.

Didn’t See it Coming

I didn’t plan on starting a candle business.  I went to college for business administration and homeland security. Life takes some unexpected turns sometimes. I’m thrilled that I have been a part of Scentsy since the olden days and that I have made a contribution to the Scentsy of today and also of tomorrow.

If you have a direct sales business, do you cringe at the thought of someone asking you what you do? In social or business settings do you silently hope that the subject of your occupation never comes up? Or if it does, do you mention your day job and omit that you have a direct selling business? Or do you try to come up with something clever to say so that you don’t have to admit that you do “one of THOSE.”

You’re not alone.  I hear this sentiment echo’d on a frequent basis.  But hang with me, I can dispel this myth and show you why it is a great business to be in.

Oh, Is It One of Those?

Let’s face it, direct sales doesn’t exactly have the best reputation as far as being a bona fide business. Sure some of those who are in a direct sales business may speak highly of it, and the top portion of those making decent money may think it’s the best thing since avocados were discovered. But by and large, it’s looked at as ‘One of Those’.  ‘One of those scams; one of those where you pay for the business opportunity; one of those with over priced products; one of those where your family and friends pray each time they see you that you don’t ask them to join or host a party; one of those where you never make any real money.’

Yikes! Yes I did just say that.  I didn’t say that I believe all of that.  I’ve just been in direct sales for 22 years and I’ve heard it all and I’ve received objections and flack that goes along with it.

I Confess.

Yes I am embarrassed to say that I’m a direct seller. There. I said it. I admit it. I love what I do and don’t have a problem with it, but rather than say that I’m a direct seller, I say that I am a business owner. I don’t want people to think that I do “One of Those.” I want to break through the stigma.  I am successful with my business. I’m a Superstar Director with Scentsy Wickless Candles. I do offer a great product, that is affordably priced and of excellent quality. I’ve been with the company since 2006.  There are so many alternatives to running your business than the traditional home party that many of you have shunned over the years. I run my business like a business and not like a cheerleading club or tee-ball league.

It’s not that I think I’m better or above doing “One of Those.”  My college education and experience is in Business Administration and in Homeland Security and here I am hawking wax. Life took an interesting twist for me within the last 24 months and for now; I know I am just blessed to have an income that supports my family as a medically disabled single parent.  Scentsy offers that opportunity to me and to many others.

Personally I think it’d be easier to be loud and proud about what I did if it didn’t have such a weak reputation; though we’d need a major paradigm shift to change the opinions of others about the industry.  I’m doing my part to change the reputation that direct sales is and can be a genuine business, even the name sounds um, less than corporate “Superstar Director.”  I have a hard time saying with a straight face “I’m a Superstar!”  It sounds like I think I’m Mary Katherine Gallagher (Molly Shannon’s Catholic schoolgirl character on Saturday Night Live who dreams of superstardom).  Don’t get hung up on the titles – not the title direct seller and not the title of the ranks.  They’re just words.

I run my business like a business and employ corporate techniques and methodologies to my business.  I don’t get into rah-rah and silly s-p-i-r-i-t. Some people do, and that’s great, it’s just not for me. But if you do like things, you can certainly get that with direct sales, if you choose to.  I just don’t happen to fit in with many of the other more traditional direct sellers.

So Where Am I Going With This?

There actually is a point here… and it’s sharp! Someone once said that direct selling is about Making it Simple and Duplicatable.  I do like simple. But duplicatable, no thanks, not for me.  I say Make It Your Own.  You may totally disagree with me on this one, and I respect that.  I’m just saying that based on conversations I’ve with a whole segment of people who haven’t given direct sales a try based on some misconceived notions.

In spite of the less than respectable reputation that direct selling has in some circles, you can be successful as a direct seller. If you’re willing to work within the boundaries that the parent company gives you; and willing to be creative, you can have a great business where you can earn a decent income. Don’t necessarily poo-poo the idea simply because you don’t want to do One of Those.

Because of my medical disability, I work my business online. I would love to get out more, but limitations prohibit that.  When someone asks me what I do, I respond that I am a Business Owner or an Internet Marketer. Maybe you don’t have the knowledge, skills or abilities to work your business online, but now that you know there are many alternatives to the traditional home party, you should maybe give direct sales a second look.  You could say that you’re “in sales” or you could say that “you have a candle (or gift) business.”

Perhaps now that you know that we don’t all make a list of 100 people we know and we don’t all advocate contacting everyone within a three foot radius to buy, host or join, it might be time for you to take a serious look at Direct Sales.  I think you’ll be pleasantly be surprised.

Direct Selling News magazine (DSN) has listed Scentsy as one of the world’s Top 100 direct selling companies. The Global Top 100 were selected on the basis of their wholesale revenue (in U.S. dollars) for 2009.

According to DSN, the direct selling industry has successfully weathered the volatile economy of recent years. “While economic indicators were on code red all around us, direct selling fared well,” the article explains. “With sales ranging from more than $10 billion for our No. 1 entry to around $67 million for No. 100, the direct selling industry once again proves its might.”

Scentsy is featured prominently in the opening article with a great quote from Orville and Heidi that wraps up the introduction. Read the entire story at http://bit.ly/atZX31

Are you sad that Eucalyptus, Strawberry Sweetie and Watermelon Patch have been retired?  What about Leather scented candles?  Hard to find, aren’t they?

Or perhaps Cashmere, Mysterious, Sizzlin Coconut, Fried Ice Cream, Key Lime Tortilla, Newborn Nursery, Luscious Lemon, Banana Nut Bread, Apples and Pears, French Vanilla, Cappucinno, Pumpkin Pie, Eggnog, Pink Plumeria Passion, Blackberry Bushel or Cheerful Day?

Scentsy, Inc. To Open in Canada

Starting October 1, 2009, direct seller Scentsy, Inc. is opening in Canada. The initial roll-out will provide business opportunities to residents of all Canadian
provinces except for Quebec, Canada.

Grand Rapids, MI – August 15, 2009 – The Direct Selling Association’s  (DSA) 2009 Rising Star Award recipient, Scentsy, Inc. announced at their annual convention last week that starting October 1, 2009, Scentsy business opportunities will be opened to Canadian residents.

Scentsy opened its doors in 2004 with the idea of offering a safe, wickless alternative to burning candles in homes and offices. Scentsy experienced record growth as customers saw its decorative warmers as not just a safer alternative but as a better alternative.  Scentsy’s success can be attributed to a simple and valuable product line sold through independent consultants at home parties as well as other selling venues.

“I’m delighted to be able to offer Scentsy to Canadian residents,” says Laurie Ayers, Independent Scentsy Star Director from West Michigan.  “I have many associates in Canada who, up until now have had to order through me, then I’d reship it. This will make it so much easier for everyone.”

With Scentsy consultants in Canada, Canadian residents will be able to order directly from a website, or attend a home party to receive the wickless candles. Now is the perfect time to start a Scentsy business in Canada.

About Scentsy:  Scentsy, Inc. is a rapidly growing party plan company offering a variety of scented, wickless candles heated in decorative ceramic warmers, and other fragrance products. The simplicity and value of its products provide a better alternative to burning wicked candles in the home and office.  What began in 2004 in a 40-foot ocean container on a small Idaho sheep farm is now a national company growing 300 percent annually with more than 35,000 independent consultants in the United States, Puerto Rico and Guam and soon, in Canada!

If you’re interested in becoming one of Canada’s first Scentsy Independent Consultants, contact Laurie Ayers, Independent Consultant website at http://www.ThrivingCandleBusiness.com
