How to Run a Successful Online Scentsy Fundraiser

# How to Run a Successful Online Scentsy Fundraiser

Forget the wrapping paper and stale popcorn. Scentsy fundraisers work because people genuinely want the products — and an online format means no door-to-door sales, no order forms, and no chasing down payments.

Why Scentsy Fundraisers Work

• **Products people already buy** — you're not asking someone to buy something they don't need
• **Wide price range** — from $3 Scent Circles to $50+ warmers, there's something for every budget
• **Online ordering** — participants share a link, supporters order directly, everything ships to their door
• **Scentsy handles fulfillment** — no sorting orders, no distributing products, no logistics headaches

Step 1: Connect with Your Scentsy Consultant

Every fundraiser needs a Scentsy Consultant to set it up. If your school, team, or organization doesn't have one, reach out to a local Consultant or find one online. The Consultant creates the fundraiser in their Scentsy system and generates a custom fundraiser link.

Step 2: Define Your Fundraiser Details

• **Duration:** 2-3 weeks is the sweet spot. Long enough to spread the word, short enough to create urgency.
• **Goal:** Set a specific dollar amount. "We're raising $500 for new soccer uniforms" is more compelling than "We're fundraising."
• **Percentage:** Scentsy fundraisers typically return a percentage of sales to the organization. Confirm the exact percentage with your Consultant.

Step 3: Create Your Campaign Materials

• **A simple graphic** with: What you're raising money for, the fundraiser link, start/end dates
• **A short message** participants can copy-paste to share on social media
• **An email template** for participants to send to friends and family
• **QR code** linking to the fundraiser page (for printed flyers, school newsletters, etc.)

Step 4: Launch & Promote

Week 1: Big splash

• Announce on social media, email lists, school newsletters
• Have participants share the link with their personal networks
• Post about specific products: "Your $6 wax bar purchase helps us reach our goal!"

Week 2: Momentum

• Share progress updates: "We're at 60% of our goal!"
• Highlight popular products
• Remind people of the deadline

Week 3: Final push

• "Last 3 days!" urgency posts
• Thank everyone who's already ordered
• Final reminder with the direct link

Step 5: Celebrate & Thank

When the fundraiser closes:

• Announce the total raised
• Thank every supporter publicly (with their permission)
• Share what the funds will be used for
• Give your Scentsy Consultant a shout-out — they volunteered their time and expertise

Tips for Maximum Success

1. **Make sharing stupidly easy.** Pre-write the social media posts and texts. People will share if you remove the friction.
2. **Lead with the cause, not the product.** "Help us raise money for children's hospital visits" > "Buy Scentsy products"
3. **Set mini-milestones.** "If we hit $200 by Friday, Coach will wear the mascot suit at practice" — gamification works.
4. **Avoid fundraiser fatigue.** Once or twice a year, max. Don't burn out your community.
