This week we are pleased to feature Scentsy, by independent consultant Dona Simmons! She was most excited about her feature, as we posed the question, "What value do you find in being a member of the Chamber?"
"I have been able to connect with members of the Chamber as well as people in the Kyle area through the Chamber's resources. Participating in the Business Expo sponsored by the Chamber has been the best (and most fun) experience I have had! Not only did I get the opportunity to show off my Scentsy products, I was also able to visit with lots of people...many of whom have become regular customers!"
Scentsy began with a simple idea - a safe, wickless alternative to scented candles. Decorative ceramic warmers are designed to melt scented wax with the heat of a light bulb instead of the traditional wick and flame. Scentsy joined the Direct Selling Association (DSA) in 2004 and enrolled its first Independent Consultant. Since then, Scentsy was named the number one consumer products company on the 2010 Inc. 500 list, and received numerous awards by the DSA.
In less than eight years, Scentsy has generated more than $1 billion in revenue. Today, the company's family of passionate Independent Scentsy Consultants shares the Scentsy experience and the Scentsy difference throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, Canada and Europe.
Please contact me if you are interested in information on Scentsy... after all, who doesn't want their home, car and office to smell amazing?!
