Basket Parties

I don't know about you, but Spring is my busiest time of year. Between work, church and kid activities I do not have many evenings available for Scentsy home parties. I do still try and do them, but Basket Parties keep me going in the spring. You may you whatever you would like for your "basket". I use a scrapbook organizer for mine. You may purchase those at Hobby Lobby, Michael's, Wal-Mart or any craft store. Watch for coupons in your local paper. I currently have 2 baskets for parties and I am considering a third.


It’s (Basket) Party Time!

Wish you could clone yourself and be dozens of places at once? A Basket Party can’t wash your dishe s or collect your dry cleaning, but it can effortlessly multiply your sales efforts. To learn what a Basket Party is (and how to make it work for you)
read on!

A Basket Party is just what it sounds like -a party in a basket! To create a Basket Party, simpl y assemble Basket Party Testers (available under “Business Supplies” ), order forms, catalogs, a calculator and a hostess envelope in an attractive basket.

Think of a Basket Party as a portable miniature Scentsy Showroom.

Here are some ideas that have worked very well for me:

 Store at least one “Basket Party” in your car at all times so
you can take advantage of unexpected opportunities to display
your products.

 Brainstorm a list of merchants and professionals you
regularly patronize (your beauty salon, bakery, dentist, etc.)
Take a “Basket Party” along on your next visit.

 Remember to take Basket Parties to your home parties—you
never know when you might meet a motivated prospective
recruit.

 Assemble a miniature “Basket Party” to take with you when
you travel long distances. Utilize downtime on trains and
planes to showcase Scentsy.
