Welcome to this review on the Scentsy income opportunity. You are here right now because you may have heard about this company from a friend, coworker or any other source and wanted to get some more information. I have been in the network marketing industry for over 3 years and have had the opportunity to review hundreds of different companies. Some are legitimate and can make you a lot of money, while others are not even worth your time. In this review I am going to give you the facts about Scentsy Candles and my personal recommendation for anyone considering joining. So let’s jump into it, shall we?
What Is Scentsy?
Scentsy Candles is a direct sales company whose core product is candles. But these are not just any kind of candles. They are flameless candles, composed of a special wax, that melts using a low watt bulb. These types of candles are very popular not only because of the fragrances they emit, but also because there is no soot, smoke or harsh smells to worry about. You can buy candles from Scentsy as a customer or you can participate in earning commission as a consultant. I’ll talk more about this later.
The company went live in 2004 and has seen steady growth ever since. Currently, there are over 35,000 independent consultants, in over 3 countries, and they did well over $100 million in sales in 2009. So if you are wondering if this is a profitable company, the answer would be absolutely yes. From my research and examining customer testimonials, I believe that this company has had such a high degree of success because of their values. Not all network marketing and direct sales companies focus on the people. They tend to focus on money and that can lead to their demise. However, with Scentsy, they encourage a friendly and playful atmosphere for their consultants.
Let’s Talk Dollars & Cents
One aspect of Scentsy that you are probably very curious about is the compensation plan. After all, we get into this industry to make a lot of money right? Well with Scentsy they will pay you 30% on personal sales and 9% on your entire downline volume. There are 8 different levels of the compensation structure you can reach, but you can only move up when your volume increases.
So how much to join Scentsy Candles? It costs $99 to join. For this fee you get a starter kit that contains a consultant handbook, 80 party tester candles, 100 business cards, 100 postcards, 100 order forms, 50 catalogs, 1 room spray, your first candle kit and 3 months for your personal website. $99 isn’t that bad to get started and you get a lot of material.
Can You Create A Full Time Income With Scentsy?
Absolutely. But it will take some time. You have already seen that this company is putting up some nice annual numbers. As a consultant you will have to bare in mind that in order to create a full time income it will have to be a long term goal. You will have to expose the product and business to people every single day and stay very committed. Successful consultants in similar companies like Avon, did not get to the top overnight. As a matter of fact, if you think any network marketing or direct selling business is going to get you rich quick, then you might as well forget the entire industry all together.
Honestly I like Scentsy Candles. I like their vision and the atmosphere the owners have created. But don’t let that ‘good feeling’ fool you. You will have to work hard, host parties, be on the phone and continually talk to new people. Once you start to gain some momentum, make sure you are training your downline. One last thing I would like you to ask yourself is – can you really support the product? If you can’t, then don’t bother joining Scentsy. You must be able to support the product even if you weren’t linked to the compensation plan.
Yours In Success,
