Hi Ladies,
I want to start making some scent samples. What do you think are the best scents?

Other than the SO&CP (which is always an excellent sample - I try to keep those on hand as well as a case of votives)I would have to say these are some that I have used and have been happy with:
Clean Cotton, French Vanilla, Heart of the Ocean - and I always try to do one with the new scent of the month and have had good reactions with the Maple Syrup and Apricot Freesia as well. I've not had anyone order the Maple Syrup though - the most heard comment after how WONDERFUL it smelled was "that would make me hungry!" LOL!

Hi Cinnamon,
I would agree with what Sandy had listed. I have had alot of success with clean cotton and so & cp. I would also suggest pumpkins spice and creme bruele. Everyone seems to really love those as well around her!
Many Blessings,
Natalie

I usually send samples that are based on the seasons. Now that spring is coming i will inlcude my personal fav coconut and lime, and then apricot freesia, apples and peaches, etc.
I ALWAYS include a COCP and a hot apple pie. I think they are best sellers and smell really wonderful ground up.

Here's my 2 Cents!
SO&CP
Hot Apple Pie
Cinnamon Bun
Green Tea
French Vanilla
Check out the list of our top selling scents in the back office-
those are generally a great way to go. Then pick YOUR
favorites from the list!smileys/smiley2.gif

Going with top sellers is always a good, safe bet. I use Sweet Orange and Chili Pepper, Hot Apple Pie and French Vanilla.
I like to use scents that compliment each other and aren't totally different. Especially when they open the envelope. I don't want them to go YUCK!

I don't know if this really helps or not, but if I have several scents I am sending to a prospect, I will wrap the samples in aluminum foil. It may help reduce some of the mixing of scents - but I'm not positive because I've not had feedback on it other than they've always loved the scents.

Hi Cinnamon!!!smileys/smiley17.gif
I would say definitely the best selling Sweet Orange and Chili Pepper, Watermelon (Margey fell in love with that one!) and Maple Syrup!
Although I think any of these great scents are amazing
and
SO ARE YOU!
