I’m on Facebook. I Matter.
Posted on: April 6, 2010
I always used to wonder how stay-at-home moms found the time to post junk on Facebook.
Went to the park today. Jason stepped in dog poop.
OK, thanks for that.
Me? Well, I have three kids at home under the age of five. I do [enter exaggerated number here—no number is too high] loads of laundry all day, pick up toys in every room of the house 28 times per day, wipe snot from faces, wipe poop from butts, clean unspeakable amounts of food off the floor, watch the dish washer magically fill to capacity every three hours, fill sippy cups with a precise 67/33 water/apple juice cocktail I’ve perfected, and then maybe I might sometimes possible find six little minutes to breathe.
My husband signed me up for a Facebook account to help promote my Scentsy candles business. I can’t get off. I’m hooked. I can’t help it.
How do I find the time? My best guess is that a worm hole opens in my house up when I’m on Facebook, and time and space are suspended. I’m now close to 200 “friends”— many of them I haven’t seen in more than 10 years. Yes, I’m the geek who met an old friend for dinner after we reconnected on Facebook. So.
Anyway, I matter now because I’m one of the 400 million souls on Facebook. I’m just getting started with teaching myself how to use it for my Scentsy business. But here’s one thing I already know: It works.
Fake Scentsy at Walmart
Posted on: February 22, 2010
Leave it up to the world’s largest retailer to undercut a popular and quality product like Scentsy. We were are Walmart the other day and found some Scentsy-like products called “ScentSationals” … really, ScentSationals!?!? The wax is even in bars in a clamshell package like Scentsy.
Scentsy’s preemptive decision to change the Scentsy Bar packaging and add 33% more wax without increasing the price just seems more genius. I love Walmart, but they’ll dumb down just about any successful product just to do it cheaper – in price and quality.
Don’t be fooled by this Scentsy wannabe. Order real, authentic Scentsy at www.AuthenticCandleWarmers.com.
I am so excited about my Scentsy Launch Party! It’s Saturday, Feb. 20 at 3:00 p.m. at my house. My sponsor, SuperStar Director Alexis Mayo, will be there to tell everyone about Scentsy and how great the products are. I’ll be sending out and handing our invitations this week.
I know everyone will have a ton of fun. We will have all of the Scentsy scents on hand for you to smell. Even more new scents will release for the spring. Come to buy. Come to sample. Come to see how you can earn free products. Come to help me get the word out.
In the meantime, check out my website at www.AuthenticCandleWarmers.com. Most all products are 10% off for the month of February!
Tips From My First Scentsy Order
Posted on: January 31, 2010
OK, so I placed my first Scentsy order. I plan to write about things I learn as I grow my home-based business. I’ve already learned a couple neat tips and tricks when doing individual orders:
1. Make sure all the individual orders total more than $150. Do this for two reasons: One, you can enter it as a party order and earn the hostess rewards. You can stock up on your inventory or use what you get for prizes and giveaways to customers and future hostesses. Secondly, everyone who orders can save the 10% on shipping.
2. Order near the end of the month so that you don’t have to do multiple orders throughout the month and to better ensure the one big order totals more than $150.
3. Send a few reminders to customers during the few days leading up to the end-of-the-month order. Remind them of the 10% savings on shipping.
4. Throw in a few incentives, such as, Orders over $75 get a free Car Candle.
If anyone has any other tips, please share them below, especially tips on delivering product. February promotions and the new spring 2010 catalogs are on the way! Go to my website for more info: www.AuthenticCandleWarmers.com.
My New Scentsy Candle Business!
Posted on: January 23, 2010
I am a stay-at-home mother of three young and beautiful kiddos. I love my life and I am so blessed to be able to stay at home and raise my kids. I recently had the opportunity to start my own Scentsy wickless candle business. I have always loved candles, and Scentsy candle warmers are amazing! They have more than 80 different scents and so many different styles of warmers.
My first goal is to make enough money to send my two daughters to preschool in the fall. The economy is tough, so making some extra money sure will be nice. I plan to update my Scentsy parties, monthly specials and any business opportunities on this blog.
Please visit my website to learn more about Scentsy, buy, join or contact me for more information: www.AuthenticCandleWarmers.com.
