Jari's Scent Samples
for the Great Falls Spring Craft Fair @ the mall in Great Falls MT this Saturday from 10-4! only $20 table space - you can't beat that! electricity included (make sure you ask the vendor about that... there is usually a fee for electricity!)
one more touch i must add... BUSINESS CARDS! (so they walk away with a scent and can automatically think of you! yay!)

Jenna's Scent Samples
how cuuute are these?!? aaahhhh.....
melt the wax in a pyrex either in the microwave or on the stovetop - very low heat - pour into a pan (your choice in size) glass or an old thrifted one - 1/4" thick - let it cool for about 5 minutes - use a little seasonal cookie cutter (available at joanns, michaels, walmart, probably any craft store) - then peel off the extra... just like sugar cookies :D - melt that down and do it all over! i use my brick from the scent of the month kit - makes TONS of samples. Great for thank you's for your customers (put them in with their order), perfect for booths at fairs or shows - customers want to leave with something, and those that don't buy walk away with something that says scentsy - and may just turn around and come right back to your table after they sniff one of these cuuties! :D
the possibilities are endless! can't wait to see yours!!

Jari's Display Ideas
last night i had a "mystery hostess party" at a restaurant in the back room... turned out very well! some restaurants will do this free of charge - but in this case - i had this very good sized room for 4 hours yesterday and the room cost was $25! (way easier for me to pay that then me stressing out about cleaning my house 2 whole days before... ugh!)
so this is what it looked like...
(similar plant stands can be found here. maybe a few of you want to get together and purchase them... no shipping on orders over $39 it looks like. just leave a comment at the end of the post)
(don't you looove the gingham? i'm sooo ready for picnic weather!)
this sign can be found thru our websites... in your workstation click on scentsy success, log in again, click on 'free stuff' then click on downloads - there are a few nice signs for display
those are my basket parties - rip roarin' ready to go! one walked out the door that night :D i'll have a post soon about what is in the basket party...
here's my clipboards... on the from the top to the bottom is business card, door prize sheet (VERY important because you get their info, email (to add to monthly newsletter!), and whether or not they want to host a home party, basket party, to do what we're doing, or if they know of someone who would love scentsy!), wish list, catalog with the monthly sales sheet and an order form
see the flower pens? the inside of the flower has coffee beans hot glued to them - write and sniff to clear out your nose so you're ready for the next scent. does it get any better!!??!
i'll add more soon! this will be a blog with LOTS and OODLES of Scentsy info!
