Hey Scentsy Friends!
I thought I would take the time to give you a little Scentsy journey update, and fill you in on what I have been up to lately in regards to my life and my Scentsy business :)
First off, I have fallen in love with the Layers line.... when I first joined Scentsy Fragrance, I never even realized the Bath & Body line, as well as the Laundry Aid line even existed. I feel like these products don't receive the hype they deserve.
The last month or so, I have focused a lot of my attention on expanding my customer base through the Layers by Scentsy line.
To do so, I found an active group of motivated individuals on Facebook (Check the group out: Layer On The Samples) its organized by Crystal Englot, whom is an amazing girl who has tons of ideas, and is 100% willing to share her sample ideas with everyone. She comes up with some great ways (AND COST EFFECTIVE WAYS) to promote this line. This was right up my alley, because I wanted everyone to be able to experience the joy that I was through this line.
I started off making body spray samples, because I found a local store that carried perfume atomizer bottles, and when I started handing them out to my current customers they all fell in love as well! They were Happy Go Lucky ;)
Then I branched off into the Laundry Aid line.... because let me tell you... I have never enjoyed doing my laundry until now... and that's the truth.
Laundry is always such a daunting task and the Liquid Laundry and Washer Whiffs (oh and the dryer disks too!) have made my laundry days enjoyable... I NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT!!
So I started making little "Love Your Laundry" samples, they include liquid laundry and washer whiffs... enough for someone to do a load of laundry and experience what I have been talking about! So far, RAVE REVIEWS! - My top seller now is Black Raspberry Vanilla, as well as Perfectly Pomegranate.
I have had few people on my team say "Wow... you put a lot of effort into your samples"... and I thought to myself... It doesn't really seem that way.
I guess I just LOVE doing it... Sharing Scentsy and Layers is more than just a job to me.. its a hobby, and a lifestyle that I really enjoy. I was tired of just making wax samples like everyone else... lets just mention as well, that yes, wax samples are a great tool to use, but to someone who doesn't even know what Scentsy is... a wax sample is somewhat... USELESS. Sorry to say.... but its true. Unless you have a customer who currently owns a Scentsy warmer, the wax sample's purpose at that point is just to smell. Not only are you wasting your money on making samples, but you're also wasting time and precious effort.
I want to encourage my fellow Independent Scentsy Fragrance Consultants to expand your horizons and begin to share the Layers experience as well!
Now this doesn't necessarily mean you have to go all out like some of us other sample gurus do, but try it out! The best one to start off with, in my opinion, is the Washer Whiff samples.... go to your local dollar store, and pick up some organza bags... fill each bag with either a half-scoop or full-scoop if you're feeling generous, and then include a label.
IMPORTANT REMINDER!! - IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO LAYERS SAMPES - ALWAYS INCLUDE THE LIST OF WARNINGS AND INGREDIENTS - You don't want someone having a reaction and then blaming you for not telling them what the ingredients are!
The Layers samples ... whether its body wash, hand cream, body spray, etc. etc... can be used immediately by your customer, and they get to actually experience the Scentsy fragrance. It is a GREAT way to attract attention to your business.
With that being said... WHERE IS MY BUSINESS HEADING??
Hmm... I'm really not 100% sure... I seem to be surprised each and every month that passes by with how my business is expanding and growing before my eyes. I have committed myself into the Scentsy Family and still have plenty of time for my full time job, as well as my family life. I am still baffled some days at how amazing the Scentsy Family is... I know that may sound like word vomit (... like im just hyping the company up) but it truly is fantastic. The incentives alone... If you have followed my last post regarding the opportunity to go to Cancun for FREE... with little effort, Scentsy will send Independent Scentsy Consultants on an all inclusive trip...
Does your work do that for you?... I DOUBT IT MY FRIENDS! lol
Anywhoo..
I really feel like I could do well with supporting my own team.... My near future goals are to expand my team, so I can further share my experiences with Scentsy Fragrance (as well as Grace Adele) to others, and help them feel the same way that I do.
I feel like I'd be a good sponsor... haha, because I know that sometimes, you just need some advice on the little things, and I feel like my knowledge can be useful to others...
I have also started signing up for more and more events/fairs.... I have two that I booked this weekend actually, one is for May 31st and one is July 6th which is a fundraising event in support of Big Brothers and Big Sisters... I feel like sharing the Scentsy experience is great.
Sharing with others the beneficial side to joining... I don't know, it may sound silly to some... but for those who already know what I'm talking about, you get it!.. haha
Anyways, that's all for now I suppose!
All my love,
