10 Ways to Work Your Scentsy Business
I love home parties and think they are a great way to run your business, but there are many ways to sell Scentsy in addition to home parties.
"Can I run a successful Scentsy business without home parties?"
Have you ever been interested in starting a Scentsy business (or other Direct Sales business), but found yourself wondering if you had to have home parties to make it work? If so, here's an article just for you!
Ten Ways to Sell Scentsy
I have compiled a list of 10 ways to grow your Scentsy business without having to host tons of home parties... or bug your family and friends.
These are just a few ideas, but of course there are many ways to run your Scentsy business. (Just make sure you stay in compliance and avoid things like selling on eBay.)
1. Realtors
Realtors - you can work with them home staging, as well as new homebuyer gift baskets. We can bundle their purchases to get them the best deal. They will most likely be buying a bunch at once, so you can really help make the most of the bundles for them. Enter the items they want as a party order to give them the host rewards and shipping discount.
Make sure you label the products with your consultant information, so the homebuyer can come back to you to buy more Scentsy.
Another spin off to this approach is to work with a housing or apartment complex. See if they will allow you to leave a warmer in the office with your info, a ballot box to draw for a prize, or even to add a flyer or samples to a new tenant bag.
2. Vendor events
Vendor events are perfect for networking and getting outside of your current circle. Make sure you don’t just use it as a way to sell Scentsy, but also look for new team members.
They are also a great way to schedule other party bookings so you get multiple benefits from the event!
3. Corporate Gifting
Corporate gifting includes working with business owners for their gift giving or incentives. Find professionals like orthodontists who give gifts to referring dentists, or companies who give work anniversary gifts, holidays, business giveaways and incentives, etc.
4. Break Room Work Parties
This is a fun one. Bring the Scentsy party to them! Lunch work parties are a simple party setup you bring at lunch in the break room.
Nobody has to go anywhere or clean their house, and it's a fun way to spend the lunch hour.
5. Fundraisers
Fundraisers are a super way for any organization to make money for their cause. Some ideas of where to look for fundraiser groups are sports teams, schools, choirs, pet rescues, dance teams, etc.
6. Online
Online is a great way to expand your business. This includes creating a blog, finding bloggers to do a product review for you, or making videos for a YouTube channel.
It can also include social media efforts, with things like creating a following on Instagram, sharing to a Facebook page, creating a private Facebook VIP group, or even hosting facebook parties online.
7. Referrals
Referrals are such a great way to leverage your happy customers. They love you and will introduce you to their friends as well. Make sure to ask your current customers for referrals, sometimes they won't even think to share.
Another great source of referrals is to have customers post pictures of their new products on social media and tag you. That way their friends can see their personal recommendation and decide they need it too!
8. Customer Service
Good customer care and follow up will make a big impact in your business. Taking good care of current customers allows you to keep the customers you have. That way you don’t have to find as many new ones. Make it easy for them to continue to buy from you!
9. Basket Parties
Basket parties are basically a catalog party, with a basket of samples or product testers. You can book local basket party hosts, and also mail them away if you choose.
Many consultants have multiple sets of simple basket parties circulating all the time to keep sales coming in. It also helps you expand your network and find new customers and hosts.
10. Build a Team
Recruit! Build your team! This one is kind of cheating, because it's technically not a way to sell Scentsy. It is, however, a great way to make more money with your business. Scentsy offers leadership bonuses that can greatly increase your paychecks as you lead and grow your team.
You can’t stop selling and building your team, but recruiting and leading your team will multiply your efforts. You couldn’t possibly sell nearly as much as you would need to make a full-time income from your business. Leverage the leadership component and find the joy in leading your team to success along with you!
