Hi, my name is Jennie Jensen and I have been a Scentsy Consultant for 3 years. I fell in love with Scentsy the moment I walked into my sister-in-laws house and could smell ‘sugar cookie’ throughout her entire house. After buying and using Scentsy warmers I decided to start selling it. I just had my first child and made the decision not to go back to work and become a stay at home mom and I wanted something that could bring in some extra money and do for fun.
Scentsy is such an amazing company, the owners, Orville and Heidi Thompson are the most generous, down to earth, and inspiring people I have ever met. They have both inspired me in so many ways, not just in selling but in every aspect of my life. When they launched Scentsy, Orville and Heidi were determined from the beginning to build their business around core virtues of Simplicity, Authenticity, and Generosity. One of my favorite things that I have taken from Scentsy is to ‘give more than you take’; this philosophy is part of the foundation that makes Scentsy so successful.
The Scentsy Story
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. This wickless concept was born when two stay-at-home moms began selling decorative warmers designed to melt scented wax with the heat of a light bulb instead of a traditional wick and flame.
Entrepreneurs Heidi and Orville Thompson encountered the small company at a home show in early 2004 and brought sample products home. They were intrigued by how fragrance brings powerful emotions and memories to the surface—without the safety risks of a burning candle. They purchased the tiny company and moved Scentsy to Meridian, Idaho, where the company’s first home office was a 40-foot ocean shipping container on a small sheep farm
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, and received numerous awards for its growth and ethical business practices, including being named the number one consumer products company on the 2010 Inc. 500 list, appearing on the 2010 Direct Selling News Global 100 list of top direct selling companies, and receiving both the DSA’s 2010 Success Award and the DSA’s 2009 Rising Star Award.
In just seven years, Scentsy generated more than $700 million in revenue. Today, the company’s family of more than 100,000 passionate Independent Scentsy Consultants shares the Scentsy experience and the Scentsy difference throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, and Canada, with a European expansion currently underway.
For just $99*, Scentsy will send you a Starter Kit that includes everything you need to run your Scentsy business–and it all fits conveniently in one shopping bag.
Scentsy sells itself, it is a product worth standing behind, and you can make it a hobby or a business. There is no inventory to keep, you make 20-30% commission on sales, you have a huge amount of training available, and you are your own boss. Scentsy has been a blessing in my life in more ways than one, I have been able to meet some amazing people and friends, bring in extra income for our family and it has helped me to give more than I take.
