The Scentsy Experience

Have any of you MTs stumbled upon Scentsy? It's FANTASTIC!! It's a wickless alternative to scented candles. I have used scented candles in my massages, but have never really been pleased with the richness of the scents. Not any more. :)

Here's a couple of photos of the varieties in warmers....

They have such a variety of styles you can easily find one to fit your studio's decor. But the real difference is in the exquisite fragrances. You will notice the first time you smell it. For me it was at my local bank. I literally walked in and said "wow...it smells amazing in here". and sure enough there was a Scentsy warmer going.

The nice thing about these is that since it's wickless, even places that have restrictions of candles can still offer an incredible aroma experience.

I have started to incorporate my sessions with Scentsy. As part of my client questionnaire I now ask a couple of questions to guide my perspective client to become aware of their favorite type of scents. Then I pick one of the 80 scents they have and have it going during the session.

I'm also looking to create a massage/Scentsy package and promote it as a gift people can give to others which would allow the receiver to "evoke a memory of their massage at home". I'm still working on the lingo.

And best of all...I've even become a Scentsy consultant. So I can sell it as well as use it. I believe in a recent massage article it talked about supplementing your practice by selling products. So I'm going to try and sell these to, not only clients, but to other local MTs so they can offer it to their clients.

I'm really excited because I think this product is such a perfect collaboration to my massage practice. I'm actually thinking it will sell itself.

So if you haven't heard of Scentsy and want to find out more...shoot me a message and I'll see if I can send you a little sample of wax and you can get an idea of how good this stuff is.

Hope this doesn't come across as spam...but I'm hooked on this and I think you will be too. And your clients will LOVE it.

Hey Sam!! I feel exactly like that. (and thank goodness the "candy" isn't edible...although some of the scents make you want to eat them) :)

I'm not sure what they do to make the wax so rich in fragrance. but you're right about the holidays. and they have all sorts of warmers for the holidays. i just have to come up with a clever "hook". unfortunately Scentsy doesn't allow you to market packages, so i have to do it discreetly to my clients, versus advertise on my website.

hehehe Lisa! You sound like a little kid in a candy store! Dont'cha just love when you run across a great find? :) I'm happy for ya. Please share more- you said 80 different scents? Do they use essential oils/ natural products to make these or no? Sounds like you would have lots of options for pkg.s with massage/ naming them - and ta da! 'Tis the Season (almost)

I live in SouthEastern Washington, and Scentsy has been here for several years now. It is a fantastic product. No essential oils for scenting when I was a consultant (over a year ago), but very fragrant! And so much safer than candles. I don't know about other places, but here it is against the fire code to have open flames in a business, so if the fire marshal catches you with burning candles, chances are you'll get your hands slapped (most likely just a warning). That said, Scentsy ROCKS!

Hey Tracy...are you no longer a consultant?

I just created this design so I can start marketing it on various sites.

Hi Lisa, no, I'm no longer a consultant, but several of my friends are. I help support their business by using Scentsy in my massage practice. You're flyer looks fantastic. Best of luck to you in your new adventure!

Thanks!

I'm also using it in my massage practice and hoping that it will sell itself. :) I'm going to try and market it to both clients as well as other therapists.

So if any of you MTs out there want to join as a consultant or just buy product, give me a holler. You won't ever got back to scented candles again!!
