Scentsy Celebrates Company's Remarkable Growth

MERIDIAN, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

After just five years in business, Scentsy, Inc. is proving that a simple and authentic business strategy can translate into profitable growth.

The company, which offers scented, wickless candles through a Party Plan system, now has more than 50,000 independent consultants throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, and Canada. Scentsy is celebrating its fifth year anniversary and its remarkable growth since starting on a small Idaho sheep farm in 2004.

"In a short amount of time, Scentsy has proven that it has the product value and quality people are seeking in today's market," said John Curtis, Communications vice President for Scentsy.

Scentsy's growth earned it the distinction of receiving the Direct Selling Association's 2009 Rising Star Award, which recognizes companies that dedicate themselves to achieving a high standard of excellence in business operations. The company is averaging 300 percent growth in revenue and number of independent Consultants and is projecting 2009 sales of nearly $195 million.

"Our rise from a small, family-owned business into one of the country's most emerging home décor brands is certainly not something that we take for granted," said Curtis. "We recognize that our success is due, in part, to our devoted customers who recognize the unique nature of our products."

To celebrate the company's 5^th year anniversary, Scentsy held its "Giving Back Makes Scents" event in July, which was designed to share the company's success with small businesses. As part of the program, 1,000 Scentsy employees, suppliers and family members, collectively armed with $100,000, contributed $2,500 in sales revenue to each of 40 family-owned businesses in the Treasure Valley area, where the company is based.

Scentsy Consultants offer a variety of scented, wickless candles in decorative ceramic warmers through a personal website or by hosting home parties. For more information about Scentsy, please visit www.scentsy.net.
