Scentsy Independent Director- Pensacola, FL
Fast Facts about the company
The story of Scentsy is the story of how a simple idea—offer a safe, wickless alternative to scented candles through home parties—grew into one of the most successful companies the direct selling industry has ever seen.
Since establishing its direct selling model in July 2004, Scentsy has experienced phenomenal growth, averaging an annual increase of well over 300% in both revenue and the number of Consultants. Scentsy began 2010 with 57,777 Consultants, 512 employees, and nearly 200,000 square feet of office and warehouse space—it's message continues to spread at a rate that far exceeds industry norms.
Company owners Orville and Heidi Thompson credit this success to the three-point business strategy that drives everything Scentsy does: Simplicity, Authenticity, and Generosity. To the Thompsons, Generosity means "contributing more than you take," and their commitment to build the company around that philosophy has produced remarkable results.
