News updates are also posted from the company on your Independent Scentsy Consultant Workstation.

We also have a wonderfully supportive facebook group and larger team groups (which you will be added to as soon as you sign up) for our Scentsy team where you can always find answers to your questions. This is the BEST way to be kept up to date with what’s going on in the Scentsy world.

Q. Can I have my own Scentsy web site?

A. Yes. Online sales and reorders are a big part of our business. You can subscribe to a Scentsy sponsored website so clients can order and reorder whenever it’s convenient for them. Your website subscription is free for the first three months after you sign up and a small fee deducted monthly after that. It is well worth having the website as that is how others can both purchase online AND join your team. If you choose to create a website that is not sponsored by Scentsy, you have to have it approved by Scentsy.

A. Business supplies (catalogues, order forms, scent samples, invitations, etc.,) are available to order through your workstation under the Scentsy Family Store where you will also find Marketing Materials (banners, clothing, pens, badges, etc). There are lots of fun things to check out. Create your own - If you’d like, you can make your own flyers, invitations, etc., just get approval from Scentsy before printing and distributing (adapproval@scentsy.com).
