Eclipse Candle Company is Going out of Business

With Eclipse Candle Co. going out of business, its a great time to discover a new wickless candle product.  Allow me to introduce, Scentsy!

Scentsy began with a simple idea — a safe, wickless alternative to scented candles — and quickly grew into one of the most successful direct selling companies in the world. This wickless concept is simply decorative ceramic warmers designed to melt scented wax with the heat of a light bulb instead of a traditional wick and flame.

Scentsy joined the Direct Selling Association (DSA) in 2004 and enrolled its first Independent Consultant. Since then, the company has expanded operations, hired a strong executive team, extended its product line, innovated around the Scentsy business opportunity, and received numerous awards for its growth and ethical business practices. Scentsy was named the No. 1 consumer products company on the 2010 Inc. 500 list, ranked among the top 100 on the 2011 Inc. 500 list, appeared in the 2010 Direct Selling News Global 100 list of top direct selling companies, and received the DSA’s 2010 and 2011 Success Awards and the DSA’s 2009 Rising Star Award.

In less than eight years, Scentsy has generated more than $1 billion in revenue. Today, the company’s family of passionate Independent Scentsy Consultants shares the Scentsy experience and the Scentsy difference throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, Canada, and Europe.

Scentsy products can be ordered online, and this month everything is 10% off!  Please feel free to visit my website at http://srevans.scentsy.us 

Scentsy is always looking for new team members.  If you previously sold Eclipse Candle, Scentsy wickless candles is a great opportunity for you.  You already have an install base of users that can no longer purchase a product, why not introduce them to the fastest growing and in my opinion the best wickless candle company out there.

Scentsy is just $99 to join and that buys you your starter kit, with everything you need to host your launch party.  CLICK HERE to learn more about the Scentsy starter kit.

I tell everyone and they see it, Scentsy sells itself. Everyone wants a wonderful smelling home, everyone likes the soft glow of candle light and everyone wants a safe home!  Scentsy is the solution to all of this.  

Scentsy wickless candles are lit by a light bulb vs an open flame.  The wax that you warm is a food grade paraffin wax that is not harmful if ingested and does not emit any harmful soot or chemicals into the air that your family breathes. The warmer and wax itself are never hot and if spilled is easy to clean-up and does not stain.

Consultants make 20%–30% commission on their own sales as well as additional bonuses on the sales of other Consultants they sponsor.

Tips for a Successful Scentsy Booth

Any successful event begins with planning, planning and more planning.   Anticipating your customers needs and understanding in advance how you can meet those needs is crucial!

The typical bazaar, home show or trade show shopper is out to seek information for the most part.  I would go as far as saying the only venue in which a shopper comes to "buy" is a bazaar.  This means that as sales people we must prepare for this and be able to turn those shoppers into buyers.  From my experience of trade shows large and small, I have put together a few tips and suggestions for a successful (by which I mean profitable) Scentsy booth. 

Literature - Without a Call to Action or Reward, there is NO REVENUE!!

Lets start where we left off.  Don't plan to give a catalog to everyone that stops by.  Definitely give them to buyers and those that really express interest in ordering.  I believe a qualified recipient of my catalog is someone who spent time discussing the product with me, but they were possibly indecisive over warmers that I had and preferred to order.  So I arm them with a catalog and an expectation and reward for following it.  This reward of course cannot be advertised, but can be at your discretion based on what you believe that buyers potential sale might be and also what their reach to promote the brand to others who might buy could be. 

Booth Placement - Its all about location, location, location!

Booth placement is critical.  You don't want to be the first thing they see, as they won't want to spend all their money right off the bat unless they only came specifically to see you.  You also don't want to be in the very back of the show where, they might not ever come or if they do they might be broke by the time they get there.  When selecting placement I look at a couple things:

• The flow of the show: Where are people coming in, what general direction will they walk.  Is the show setup in a way that guides people through or do they have an option to go in several directions?  Pick a central location within this thought process. 
• Other vendors: Now you are probably thinking, "Why do I care what other people are showing/selling?" Competition is the biggest, maybe you want to be next to a candle vendor because you want to get that audience and you feel you can sell them that Scentsy is a better and safer product.....WHICH IT IS!!!  Also, you want to use other vendors that are not similar to you, but have some sort of pull in their booth that will naturally create more flow past your booth.  
• Food/Restrooms/Drinks: This is a personal choice, but I would give anything to be close to a bar if there is one at your event.  Why? They have lines, and where there are lines there are bored people with wandering eyes and a desire to be entertained!

Product - Anticipating the buyers desires.

Lets move to something you can control.  Its sometimes difficult to anticipate your buyers and what they might want, but at the best of your abilities...you have to!  When thinking about product, think about the season, are people buying holiday scents, gifts, etc.  I also like to have those expectations and the very next season's.  I do this for anticipation.  One, I feel I can sell the buyer that is already purchasing this seasons product to try one or several of next seasons.  Two, I know if its there they will take it.  Three, if they take it I know my name is going to be associated with a scent and a memory which is the most powerful association we have as humans.  I also love to have samples of this seasons and the next scents so if the buyer likes it but is not convinced to buy I can be the hero and say, "Here, let me give you a sample to try, then you can give me a call if you decide you would like it later."  Everybody loves FREE ITEMS, and if they like it they won't refuse it!

In terms of warmers, this is still a learning curve for me.  It usually seems someone wants what I don't have or already sold out of.  My suggestion here is take what you like because its easy to speak about what you like.  Take the suggestion from our workstation and last months trending sales to gather insight from what others liked and purchased and take anything new.  Buyers in all markets want what is new, rare and trending.

Working the booth - THE MOST CRITICAL PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT!

Working the booth and its presence is the most critical part of every investment you have made to be there.  Here are a few of my tips, most you will find are common sense of any sales person.

• Be Presentable: Dress the part! You have Scentsy gear, wear it.  This can be a sweatshirt and jeans or I prefer my Scentsy T-Shirt, Jeans and Heels.  Whatever it is, wear it.  You are the Scentsy brand and as a representative of such a cool, trendy and home type product you should be cool, trendy and inviting.  You want to host a party?  You must be someone they would invite in their home and want to be around their family and friends.
• Be Approachable: Extroverts will have not issues here other than maybe learning to tone down your presence a bit. :) Introverts must break out of that shell. Don't hide behind your table, come out and speak to people.  Have a conversation, start talking to them not about sales, sales, sales but ask how their day is going, comment on their child's outfit, if you notice they are fashionable or carry an expensive bag, comment on it.  Just be approachable and inviting so they want to stay and have a conversation with you.  I commonly have shoppers leave without buying and say to me, "I really enjoyed talking to you".  You know what I did there?  I made a contact, one who would consider calling me because they liked speaking to me and I made an impression on them.
• Be Understanding: If a shopper is dealing with their children, don't interrupt.  Wait and be understanding.  If they have an incoming phone call, wait and be understanding.  If they have a friend come by and see them and stop to say hello, don't walk away just wait and be understanding.  My rule of anyone in my booth whether my team or my teenage daughter is don't be pushy, rude or stand off-ish.  Without that customer we are nothing in this business.  And, after all business is all about relationships.

I hope you find these tips helpful in your next Scentsy show!  If you are considering joining Scentsy and doing shows as a way to drive your business I encourage it and say you are doing yourself a huge favor by researching and learning all you can to begin with.  I would love to have you on my team!

Scentsy Marketing 101 - Samples

Scentsy Marketing 101 - Samples

Samples and or demos are an essential part of any sales organization and Scentsy is no different.  Scentsy sample are great to hand out to potential customers.  I feel they are so powerful as a scent has a lasting memory associated with it.  Simply leaving a business card or catalog leaves no lasting impression, add a Scentsy sample and that smell will forever be associated with you.

Scentsy does not offer samples that you can buy, but they are very simple to make  will explain in detail below what you need and how to make them.

You will need to buy or find:
- Small candy mold: Any shape will do, but the smaller the better so your wax goes farther
- Small 1 cup glass Pyrex measuring cup or other microwavable glass cup
- Small re-closeable craft bags: You can buy bags of 100 at Walmart for around $2 in the craft section
- Business cards: Be sure your website is on them!
- Freezer
- Scentsy bar in your favorite scents

To Make Samples:
1 - Place three cubes into your Pyrex measuring cup and place in microwave.  Warm until melted completely, usually about 2 minutes.

2 - Be careful to use a pot holder, the cup will be hot!  Pour the wax into the candy mold, making sure each area is full but not overflowing.

3- Place the full candy mold into the freezer in a flat area for 10 minutes.

4- After 10 minutes, remove the candy mold from the freezer and turn upside down. NOTE: If the wax does not fall right out, return the mold to the freezer for another two minutes.  They should come out easily.

5 - After the wax is removed from the mold, place one sample inside a craft bag and slide your business card behind.  Close the bag.

YOUR DONE!

Samples are great for handing out to get new prospects.  Think the drive-through coffee shop you visit, the grocery store checkout clerk or bag attendant, your nail technician or hair stylist.  I also attach a sample to each catalog I hand out and include a few samples with peoples orders so they can try out a new scent.

I hope you enjoy making samples and discovering new ways to market your Scentsy business.

If you are interested in becoming a Scentsy Consultant contact me for details or visit http://srevans.scentsy.us/join to sign up.  Only $99 gets you started! Its an investment you won't regret.

My Scentsy Story

My Story

I was first introduced to Scentsy by a co-worker and instantly fell in love.  As a lover of expensive, quality candles, I knew I was looking for a scent that could fill a room, a glow that was both romantic and calming, and a safe alternative to a candle.

As a mother of four children and two dogs, I was constantly concerned about a lit candle. Scentsy was a great solution to my fears. A wickless candle that was safe to the touch in both the warmer and the wax.  Even if you tip it over, and I have, the wax simply dries and washes right out.  This wickless concept is simply a decorative ceramic warmers designed to melt scented wax with the heat of a light bulb instead of a traditional wick and flame.  These wonderful warmers come in all varieties for every decorative or holiday desire.

I decided to join the Scentsy family in 2012.  I was already sharing the concept with everyone who entered my home, so why not make money off of my passion!  Today, Scentsy is a great additional income, one large enough to provide relief of substantial bills...like my car and insurance payments!  My love, then hobby, has now turned into a great passion for a wonderful product and an incredible career!

Thank you for stopping by.  If you are interested in joining my team visit http://srevans.scentsy.us/join, I would love to have your enthusiasm as part of my team.

I look forward to hearing from you!
