The Amazing Scentsy Race

Update - this card will work in both the Canadian and US markets, so print it up and get it out there!!!

Are your summer sales in a slump? Here's a card to give them a bump!

No parties on the calendar? People don't want to commit? They don't want to clean, they don't know anyone, they don't have time, etc. Try this!

You need 5 people to commit to collecting $100 in orders in 10 days. This will total $500 in orders. You give each person who participates a prize. EVERYONE wins something...which is more than the "nothing" they'd earn by turning in $100 in orders. Prizes are as follows:

1. $40 FREE
2. $35 FREE
3. 6 pack of Scentsy Bars FREE
4. 1/2 price & 3 FREE Scent Circles
5. 1/2 price & 3 FREE Scent Circles

When you put the orders in as a $500 party, you'll have $75 in hostess credit and 4 1/2 price items. The prizes will cost you $20 out-of-pocket ($12.50 for the 6 pack of bars and $7.50 for a 6 pack of Scent Circles. Use 2 of your half-price items to order these.) Remember that there will be tax on the full value of your half-price items. Be sure to mention to your participants that they get free shipping but they will have to pay the tax on the full value of their prizes. (Scentsy doesn't charge tax on their free items but to be fair I plan on charging tax to all the participants regardless of which prize they get. In Utah the extra tax money will be about $5.13 and I plan on using that to offset the cost of my out-of-pocket expenses.

When they agree to participate, you need to gently enforce this commitment by saying "there are 5 people participating, so it's very important that you'll be able to commit to this challenge so everyone can receive a prize." Make sure you set a closing date.

Once you get people to participate the first time...they will look forward to the next time. You can modify this to suit your needs too...make it a $50 challenge for 10 people and tweak the benefits. Or a $100 challenge for 10 people! Do your first challenge NOW...so that come fall, when everyone is ready to do their holiday shopping, you can do it again;)
