Scentsy is a direct sales party plan business that was founded in 2004 and is based in Boise, Idaho. They feature many different products including electric candle warmers, electric plug INS, scentsy candles bars, room sprays, car fresheners, hand sanitizing foam, and scented stuffed animals. I feel that this candle business opportunity is second to none because it is the perfect marriage of directing selling and a product line that is simple, affordable, and consumable. This combination sets the stage for someone to own their own business and have the sky be the limit.

Why is direct sales such a great opportunity? Direct sales offers may benefits that the corporate world doesn't. First of all, you are your own boss. You set your own hours to work, govern your goals, and work as hard as you wish. Also your start up cost is usually very low with direct sales. With Scentsy it is only $99 to buy the Scentsy Starter Kit and become a consultant. What other business can you start for $99? I once looked at starting a printing and shipping business and my initial investment would have been $60,000. I would have maybe started ...
... to break even in 5 years where I would actually start making an income. Am I glad I found Scentsy instead! Another benefit of direct sales is you can build a team! When you build a team you are able to earn team bonuses and sales bonuses for yourself with the Scentsy Compensation Plan. You can earn up to 9% team bonus and a 9% sales bonus off your personal sales as you move up in rank with Scentsy. Statistics show the 6% of American women earn over $100,000 per year and 80% of them are in direct sales! Wow, what a great opportunity direct sales presents to someone who is willing to work hard! Direct sales also give you a chance to earn residual income. As you build a team and that team grows, your paycheck will grow. With time and effort, your business can blossom into much more then you would have ever dreamed possible.

What makes Scentsy products so wonderful? Well you really have to smell them to know why! You often hear Scentsy consultants say our products sell themselves. But it is true! You plug in the Scentsy warmer, put in a cube of wax and everyone wants one. The product line is so simple and customer friendly also. Everyone knows how to put in a light bulb! All you do is put in the bulb, plug it in, choose your favorite scent and within minutes your house starts to smell wonderful. Scentsy electric warmers also solve a problem. Everyone wants their home to smell nice but they don't want the danger of flamed candles. I believe the danger of traditional candles is why Scentsy has grown consistently 300% a year since they started as a company. With Scentsy you have no flame, no soot, no smoke and no danger, just wonderful scent. Nothing goes into the air except the scent because the wax is warmed, not burned. Once you have Scentsy you will never light another candle unless the electricity goes out!

Having your own candle business also gives you freedom. You can work on your schedule and around your family's needs. If you need to take your kids somewhere, you can. You are never tied to a time clock to punch in and out. When you offer the Scentsy business opportunity to others you are giving them a chance to have the same freedom. You are giving them a chance to be their own boss, set their own hours, and sell a wonderful product people are looking for. And they can do all of this for just $99!

This is such a great time to get started with Scentsy. Scentsy is still a very young company with enormous growth potential. They are in the United States and just opened Canada in the fall of 2009 but are planning to expand to even more countries. With growth and expansion come opportunities for your personal business to also grow and expand.

When I found Scentsy, I found my home. I had been looking for a business for myself and I am so grateful I found this company. I love being my own boss and knowing that if I work hard now, my future is very bright. I know my candle business will continue to grow and expand as Scentsy grows and expands. I love being part of this fabulous company. If you love candles, want to earn extra income, and want to be your own boss, Scentsy could also be the right company for you.
