Scentsy is a Wickless candle company that has been in business since 2004. The company was founded by Kara Egan and Collette Gunell; two stay at home moms who were looking for a safe alternative to flamed candles. They began making the product in their basement and marketing it at Event Expos. Orville Thompson, an entrepreneur from Boise, ID happened to be selling at the same expo in Sandy, UT and saw the product there. He was intrigued by the idea of a flameless candle warmer that used a low wattage light bulb to melt the scented wax. He took some product home to his wife and she fell in love with the product and the idea of a safe candle.

Orville and Heidi Thompson decided to purchase the company in July 2004. After looking at many ways to market this unique product, they decided to make the company a direct sales, party plan company. They put together an excellent compensation plan and started recruiting consultants.

In the beginning, each Scentsy bar was hand poured by mostly family of Orville and Heidi. They ran their new business out of a 40 foot shipping container that was located on their sheep farm. They “bootstrapped” their business by paying for things as they could and striving to not go into debt. As their business grew they would move into a larger facility and continue to expand their product line.

The growth would continue to be a business’s dream. Each year Scentsy has been able to have 300% increases in sales and growth. Every one to two years Scentsy has continued to move to new buildings with their business as they outgrow where they are. In 2009 they earned the prestigious DSA Rising Star award for their excellent business practices.
Scentsy started out with electric candle warmer and scented waxes bars, and now have many other products in their product line. Other Scentsy products include plug in warmers, room sprays, car fresheners, travel tins, hand sanitizer, and scented stuffed animals. What really makes their products stand out is that everything they sell is safe. The products are excellent quality and you have no worries about an open flame, smoke, soot, or lead going into the air. The safety aspects of their products, along with the high quality, bring customers coming back again and again.

In addition to having excellent items to sell, Scentsy also offers a unique business opportunity. For just $99 you can purchase the starter kit that comes with approximately $200 in merchandise. You can start selling the products as soon as you sign up as a consultant. The starter kit includes a full size Scentsy warmer, 80 scent samples, 50 catalogs, 100 order forms, a new consultant starter guide, a Scentsy bar, scent circle, room spray, and more. The value is incredible. There are so many ways to market this product. You can have home and basket (book) parties, do fairs and shows, sell person to person, or do fundraisers. Where else can you start your own business for such a low cost?
