Even if you're not interested (right now) in selling Scentsy as a side business or full-blown career, it still makes sense to become a Scentsy consultant. Consultants get a 20-25% commission on every order they place... including their own! We find there are a lot of people who buy enough Scentsy products themselves and give enough Scentsy products as gifts (for birthdays, weddings, showers, Christmas, and other holidays and special occasions) that they would save a lot of money by becoming a Scentsy consultant.
It only costs $99 to join Scentsy, but that's for much more than registration. The $99 is mostly for your Scentsy Starter Kit, which includes a full-size candle warmer, a sample of ALL 80+ scents, a car candle, a bottle of room spray, a fragrance bar, and 4 replacement bulbs. You'd pay $99 OR MORE just for all of these products. And now you're a Scentsy consultant and earn commissions on all orders you place, which equates to a 20-25% discount on everything you buy for yourself or purchase as gifts for others.
We've found that Scentsy customers are extremely loyal. Once they buy from a particular consultant, they come back to that same consultant time and time again for all their future purchases. As a Scentsy consultant, you will be able to place orders in behalf of people who want to buy Scentsy products. Every time you place an order for somebody, you'll receive a 20-25% commission. This can really add up once you have a handful of people buying their Scentsy products through you.
Being a Scentsy consultant does NOT mean you have to throw several parties a week, or month, or year. In fact, if you don't ever want to throw a party, you don't have to. You're totally free to tell people about Scentsy's amazing products at your own convenience... in a casual one-on-one conversation, or however you're comfortable doing it. But if and when you do want to throw a party, the Starter Kit gives you everything you'll need to have a successful party. You can make a lot of money in a single party (see LINK TO #S PAGE), plus you're pretty much guaranteed to have loyal customers who will continue to place orders through you for years to come. A one-time party can result in years of residual income.
Scentsy does require that all consultants order $150 of product every 3 months to remain active. But between purchases for personal use, gift purchases, purchases placed in behalf of loyal customers, and orders from an occasional party, even consultants who do very little party-throwing and selling have no trouble meeting this requirement.
