Basket Parties!

Hey all! So I've been getting a lot of questions about my "Basket Parties" and how these work, so here it goes!

Basket Parties are VERY simple and fun to do (for those of you who hate giving presentations to people, these are perfect!) So what I do is mail the whole basket with all of the Scentsy goodies inside and also pay for the return shipping to get it back to me when your party is over (that way, you don't have to spend a dime!)

What's all in my Basket Parties?

I try to include a little bit of everything.  That way your guests have the opportunity to test all of the products out before they place an order! We'll start with my smallest basket that I use right now, it's my Halloween themed basket party! Super cute!!

This includes:

80 scent testers

Catalogs, brochures order forms, fragrance foam, room spray, scent bar, plug-in warmer, scent circle, and travel tin!

A Scentsy Buddy (with scent pak)

And this is what the whole thing looks like...

This is my Halloween themed one for this fall, it's super adorable and the basket only cost $3 at the Clay County Fair in Spencer, IA! Talk about a steal right?

I do have a larger style basket party that I use as well.  It's just a simple tote bag that I found at Wal-Mart for about $20. This thing works perfect! 

It came with this little zip-lock pouch that fits my catalogs and order forms just right

So I just stick that pouch with the catalogs in the front of the tote (the purple ribbon came with it)

In the bigger tote bag, I usually include a full-size warmer AND a plug-in, or just the full-size by itself.  Obviously even just a mid-size would work or the mid-size with the plug-in whatever you have or prefer! Along with the warmer, I like to include everything in the bag for your customers to rummage through! 

This is what the larger tote basket party looks like

This includes everything listed above, just a different size warmer!

If anyone is ever interested in one of these, it's very simple.  Keep in mind that when you host any Scentsy party, you earn free Scentsy rewards and half priced items! What a deal right?

My Scentsy "Addiction" ... Or What I Call My "Collection"

Just thought I'd share my own Scentsy purchases over the last 2 1/2 years! The boyfriend says I have too many.... he doesn't know what's in store for him!

These 3 just arrived today!

Barista

Citron

Ashbury

I love them! I also got 6 bars and 3 travel tins......  :)

So while I was switching out all my warmers to the new ones, I decided to take a picture of ALL of my Scentsy boxes that I own (minus 1, since I no longer have the box for it)

And STILL counting (sorry Kyle)

Also, I just received the large order I placed last week. I got them all labeled, now I'm just waiting to package them up to ship off to my customers!

Before..

And here's what they look like AFTER I label and package them...

That's just a little one, but you get the idea! Usually I'll put a flyer in these as well, but I just did a mailing of the new Fall/Winter catalog with samples and flyers, so I left them out of this order.  But I still make them cute with some ribbon (really cheap at wal-mart) and I'll either ship them to my out of towners OR hand deliver to my locals!

Thank You Magnets

So usually when my customers order from me, I always make sure to send them a "Thank You" package.  These packages include a catalog or flyer (or both), a Thank You note (hand written - more personal), samples, and a Scentsy spatula like this one below (if I haven't sent them one already - if I've sent them the spatula previously, I'll throw in a Scentsy pen or magnet with my information on it)

Lately, I've been lookin' for new crafty ideas for Thank You packages to send out! I thought I'd share this YouTube video I found. It's a cute, clever idea and I'm definitely going to try it out.

Check it out:

Super cute right?! And best of all.... CHEAP! 

Once I get a few of my own made, I'll be sure to post pictures! Any other ideas out there? Please post them!!!

Scentsy Samples!!!

Hey everyone!

So I thought I'd just share how I make my Scentsy samples for my customers each month.

Here's what you'll need:

Scent bars
Knife
Candy Molds
Business Card Sized zip lock baggies (wal-mart)

Okay, next what I do is dice the wax cubes up (about a cenimeter thick) and break them up into small cubes.

Fill the cubes with a couple pieces of the wax and stick it in the microwave!
Now obviously not all microwaves are the same. Mine it only takes about 1-1 1/2 minutes to melt the molds.  After they're all melted, stick them in your freezer for about 5 minutes and let them harden (be careful not to let them get TOO frozen, or they'll break)

Here's what they should like like after they're frozen...

Now, all you have to do is pop them out, put them in a little zip lock bag and staple it to either a business card, a flyer, or a catalog (which ever you prefer) and mail them out!

Mine are all ready to go out tomorrow! 

I stapled these to my Monthly Special flyers and put them in with the new Fall/Winter catalog! It's fast, easy, and you're customers will LOVE them!

Feel free to share any other ways to make samples, I'd love to hear them!

Night everybody!

Really quick post on my lunch break!

I found these on Pinterest and had to share!

I'm thinking something along these lines for a "Thank you" to my Scentsy customers with my information on them?  We'll see how crafty I can be :)

The Fall/Winter 2012 Catalog Is Here!!

Hey everyone!! Welcome to my NEW blog!

I am an Independent Certified Scentsy Consultant and I love it! I've been a Scentsy customer for almost three years now and just recently became a consultant about eight months ago! So to keep my business growing, I'm trying a bunch of new things.

On this blog, I'm not only going to discuss the different products with Scentsy, but I'm also going to discuss my marketing/advertising techniques for my fellow consultants looking for ideas.  (Please share your techniques as well, I'm always looking for ideas)

Right now I'm a marketing major with an emphasis in advertising at the University of Northern Iowa.  I'll FINALLY have my Bachelor's degree in just a few short months!  Not only am I a student, but I work full-time for an insurance company AND sell Scentsy! So I guess you can say, I have my hands full.

For my first post, I wanted to discuss the transition to our new Fall/Winter catalog! It's full of a bunch of new goodies.  I'm so excited for this catalog (my wish list is ridiculous!)

The September Warmer of the Month is..........

Now how cute is that?! 

September also has its Scent of the Month "Caramel Pear Crisp" and let me tell you, it's absolutely to die for! You must try it out (I'm sending out samples if anyone would like one)

Along with these items, there's TONS of new Fall/Winter scents in the catalog! Here's the list of the different ones that are available:

I have a survey on the side of this page, make sure you vote for which scent is the best!

This time of year is so awesome, isn't it? Now, I have some basket parties available right now if anyone is interested, please ask! Also be sure to visit my website and browse that catalog, you don't want to miss out on these!
