Hi everyone,
I just got back from Spring Fling. I was so glad to meet many of you face to face. As always Scent-Sations blows me away. Well we now have electric warmer and melts.We also have a wonderful catalog/brochure.It's approx. 10 pages long with beautiful pictures of all the products. (even the warmer and mini melts. ) Next months scent is Chili Vanilli. Let me just tell you it's unbelievable.I was so excited I won one at the Fling.
Also, yes we will be doing retail orders from our sites as stated before. They hope to have it live April 1st.Great news huh!!! Well that's all for now. Have a great day.

Hey Dee,
Did you get any info on how they are going to price the products on website or is that still being decided?

Doreen - products will be listed at the Suggested Retail Prices. If you want your customers to buy at a lower price, you will have to sell to them offline.

People who order online will pay $18.95 & shipping? I was selling at $20 to cover shipping to people direct.
How is advertised? Do we now add that onto our personal websites? That we now have online ordering?

Once the online ordering is all ready to go - you can place a link on your personal site to the retail site. They will pay $18.95 plus tax and shipping.

I am thinking....if someone goes to our site and orders 1 candle. They will pay the 18.95 plus at least the $5 shipping that the company charges now.....I hope people dont mind paying that!!
My local people will still order through me, beaucse i only charge them my shipping costs which run about 1.30 per candle!!
What do you think?

I'm sure people will pay 18.95 plus shipping. I sold a few this month out of state for $25 each.

It ended Saturday but you could tour the factory on Sunday and pick up any orders you placed Friday and Saturday.

I had such a blast as well and was able to talk to Barb, Shira and Penny briefly - I tell you what, once you attend one of these, your outlook will potentially change for the better. I am pumped - learned so much, and am already planning big changes personally in addition to my home page. My whole direction has made a shift and it's a wonderful thing! We just got home this evening (two day drive for us), and am a bit on the brain fried side. I still have to type out my notes and send on info to my downline.
I would encourage attending at least one or more flings - theexpense will pay off with the things you learn.

6 would be fantastic! I can't wait. I am thinking I may go to the fall one, but have never been away from the kids that long before smileys/smiley19.gif.
Sandy or Shira, will they have a cd of the presentations that we can listen to??

I certainly hope they will have a CD - or at least start making them for purchase with future Flings - the information gathered from the speeches given is invaluable! I scrambled as many notes as I could - videotaped one of Jackie's presentations (from Saturday) - knowing I would put the information to excellent use with my new outlook.

I couldn't agree more! The thing I'm slowly realizing (and the trainers keep trying to instill in me)is that your income is somehow directly linked to your "personal development". I find that the more I train ME and my THINKING process, as well asmybusiness and product knowledge, interpersonal skills, presentationabilities, etc., the more the business grows. Reading books, getting on training calls and going to Flings to hang out with excited, like-minded individuals helps alot too!!
My wife has gone to the last several flings and we are planning on taking the whole family to the Fling in the Fall!Hope tosee you there!!

Absolutely Collin! I am planning on being there again - it made that much of an impact!
They had a list of recommended reading that they rambled off with the various speakers, and they couldn't emphasize enough to READ READ READ! If you aren't a reader - just do 15 minutes a day. As long as you DO it. That's the key!
If anyone would like the list I managed to scribble down from the Fling, pop me an e-mail at Sandy@SandysSpot.net and I will send that on to you. I know I didn't get them all listed, but scribbled what I could!Edited by: dreamakr36
