Scentsy Transition Time!

My Scentsy Story: I started selling Scentsy in March of 2011. After being with Partylite for a while, I realized that Scentsy was just so much better for me and my situation. With Partylite, you need to know some pretty big spenders to be marginally successful. It isn't hard once you meet that ONE person to introduce you to their plethora of rich friends and family, but I live in a village where the 40K/yr are the rich. Yet, Partylite consultants are lining the streets  up here. So I needed a change, something that was affordable, fun, and that college students could use. Enter Scentsy. I've done well, have parties every month and love the product so much I FORCE people to smell my favorites.

What is transition? Every 6 months Scentsy issues a new catalog, complete with new scents and products. It's August, so everything in the Spring/Summer catalog is 10% off! First thing in September, though, the discontinued list comes into effect and you have to adhere to the new catalog and prices for Fall/Winter. Spring/Summer= tropical, fruity, breezy. Fall/Winter= spicy, warm, classic.

This year is different. For an insider, Scentsy's forum have been blowing up with complaints on the changes. I really don't understand the problem, I think it's people just feeling the urge to rave about money and the economy. Scentsy is offering NEW Premium warmers made with glass, stone, and metal and not just ceramics. These warmers cost $35, up $5 from the regular Full Size warmers. Two of the most popular Combine and Save packages (Fullsize and Midsize Systems, with 1 warmer + 3 bars) are being discontinued. This makes combining (switching products in orders to get money, product, or higher prv) a little more difficult, but not too terrible.

My opinion: Transition is awesome, Scentsy is doing it right! This is my first transition period, but getting all the new scents was like Christmas for me on Tuesday, and seeing the new catalog was just so refreshing. It's so clean and pretty, and people will LOVE the new Cause Scentsy Buddy for the Ronald McDonald House!
