Direct Sales Company Review: Scentsy Wickless Candles

Posted at November 25, 2009

Scentsy Wickless CandlesBackground: Kara Egan was watching Oprah and was inspired by a show on “Millionaire Moms”.  When having lunch with her sister in law, some weeks later, she was told about this “strange” thing that her sister in law’s neighbor did… breaking candle wax into pieces and heating them in an old potpourri burner.

Something clicked for Kara. “I heard the words in my mind saying Kara, this is it.” She called Colette that same night and asked, “Why don’t we start a business together selling candle chunks in a warmer?”   They decided that this was their destiny as well and they created a company of their own.  Scentsy was born on July 2003.

After seeing these two “moms” at a tradeshow in Salt Lake City, Utah, entrepreneur Orville Thompson bought some of these products and introduced them to his wife, Heidi.  She loved the products and another idea was born. On May 1, 2004, Orville and Heidi purchased Scentsy from Kara and Collette and created it to be a party plan business… direct sales business.

Why we like the product: Scentsy offers a product that is unique and bold.  These warmers are beautiful, well crafted (we own a bunch ourselves), and come in such a variety.  The scents that Scentsy offers smell wonderful and also come in quite a variety with over 84 different choices.

Why we like the business: Scentsy wickless candles are a great quality product and are very inexpensive.  This makes selling easy.  Another great thing is that scentsy offers a consumable product.  This means your customers will keep coming back for more!  This fact makes a great renewable customer base for all scentsy consultants.  Scentsy is also coming out with new products each season which gives you another chance to market to your past customers for many repeat sales.

The marketing edge: Because Scentsy has not become oversaturated in the market, there are tons of locations that Scentsy has not even touched which gives a great business opportunity for direct sales consultants.  The low price of these products also helps in times where the economy is not really going strong.

How much money can you make with Scentsy: Scentsy offers a great tiered marketing plan and an excellent starting commission for such a great and inexpensive product.  Starting with a 20% commission as a new consultant gives your direct sales business a great opportunity to make an excellent income.  It is fairly easy to move up the step latter of Scentsy as well, giving you up to 35% commission on your sales with additional bonuses and bonus commissions of up to 9% on your downline.  A very competitive payscale in the direct sales market.

scentsyOverall thoughts: With a great quality product, an under-saturated market, and very competitive commission payouts, Scentsy wickless candles offers an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to make a living with direct sales.

We rate this direct sales opportunity: 9.5 out of 10
