I recently was introduced to Scentsy home fragrance products and it was literally a life changing introduction. A good friend of mine, Trisha Brown, is a sales consultant and told me all about her product line. When my home warmer and three fabulous Scentsy scent bars arrived, I couldn't believe how intoxicatingly good they made the house smell. CC Hubby noticed the second he walked in the back door from a long day at work.
At our recent BBQ, litereally everyone kept saying, 'Your house smells so good!' I love having a home that is filled with fragrance, but not an overpowering scent. Then we had a recent house guest and she also mentioned how yummy our home smelled! This Scentsy stuff is totally amazing and I really think if you value the way your home smells, you need to get on board and grab yourself one!
Since I'm not an expert like Miss Trisha (concerning all things Scentsy) I figured I'd do a bit of a Q&A and let her explain why she thinks our CasaCullen readers should know all about Scentsy. Read on, readers...
CC: Why do you love Scentsy?
Trisha Brown: I love Scentsy because it gives me a lot of bang for my buck!
I got started with Scentsy because I loved the scents and it's inexpensive. [The warmer] warms the scent and the wax is not going into my air, furniture or walls. I also love all the scents. They bring back a fond memory!
Some examples: Grape
Granita~reminds me of grape Now-and-Laters my best friend and I used to give to each other every week with a card! Cutiepie Cupcake reminds me of a bakery and taste testing wedding cakes with my hubby. Newborn Nursery reminds me of the light scent of baby lotion and powder. Ahhh, my little babes...where does time go?
CC: How did you get started selling Scentsy?
Trisha Brown: I got into the business from Kristie Mansfield. She was so great and would come over to my house so I could smell the scents and pick a present for one of my husband's clients (he is in real estate.) He usually gives a bottle of Dom Perignon but this client was very specific asking for no alcohol. Kristie was so great and we got to talking about the business model and she had a similar story to mine. Didn't everyone have a rough time this last year financially? She's a busy gal with her two kids and she still had time for Scentsy. She also explained to me she just needed something that was all HERS...an outlet. I thought to myself, 'Is this gal reading my mind!' So, I talked to my husband and gave Kristie a call that night and said I'd like to try it out...tada!
CC: What makes Scentsy different than candles or essential oil burners?
Trisha Brown: Simple! Scentsy is less expensive and healthier alternative to make your place smell fantastic. With the decorative warmer (it includes the light bulb) the wax is warmed to release essential oils like no other! It's safe for kids, pets, kids in dorms and it's wickless too!
CC: What's the story behind Scentsy? Do you know how/why they got started?
Trisha Brown: Scentsy began with a simple idea, 'A safe, wickless alternative to a scented candle' and turned that into one of the most successful direct selling companies in the industry. It was formed in 2003 when two ladies began selling decorative warmers designed to melt scented wax with the heat of a light bulb.
At a home show in Salt Lake City, entrepreneur Orville Thompson happened to have a booth across from the women and he sensed something special about their wickless candle concept. He took samples home to his wife and hours later, they were enjoying Scentsy scents...laughing and sharing memories.
Orville and his wife were intrigued by the way the fragrance could bring such powerful emotions and memories to the surface, especially when it could happen without the safety risks or soot residue of a burning candle.
Within months Orville and his wife bought the company and brought it home to Meridian, Idaho.
Scentsy became a party plan company in July 2004 when the Thompson's joined the DSA (Direct Selling Assoc.) and enrolled Scentsy's first Independent Consultant.
Since then the company has enjoyed an average annual growth rate of 300% and now employs nearly 500 people at three locations, with annual revenues of more than $200 million.
Scentsy is fueled by over 55,000 Independent Scentsy Consultants who share the experience throughout all 50 United states, Puerto Rico, Guam and Canada.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Miss Trisha Brown for all this amazing information. We really value being informed buyers and we are just thrilled with our new Scentsy collection. It's actually a rainy day here in Austin, TX today and the home is filled with a scrumptious Sizzlin' Coconut aroma that takes me back to the days where we'd bask in the sun all week long in St Thomas, VI.
