Scentsy August EOM Transition: What's Leaving, What's Coming, Plus...A Little BBMB Rant

[@JourneyingwithLaura]

We voted - tell us the results. End of story. It is manipulative to say we would have the results in August and then delay at the last minute for another 3 months. This is nothing like a problem with shipping or supplies. Love your honesty, Aimee!!!!

[@happilyscentedlife]

Thanks, glad you enjoy the rant. I wasn't going to include it but I am glad I did and that so many others feel just as annoyed as I do.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

They should have implemented the BBMB announcement change for the following round, not this round. You told us in August the winners would be announced. Stick to your word. Easy. Next round (summer BBMB) tell us whatever month you’ll announce it and stick to that month.

[@LeticiaWorboys]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I agree, why say one thing and then do another. 🤦‍♀️

[@kadamowicz68]

I guarantee that the “winners” are going to overlap with the current scents….like the gingerbread one that you can only get with the warmer……who will buy it when another one is coming in January with no strings attached!?

[@happilyscentedlife]

Yes, I agree. Start the change with the next round of voting.

[@happilyscentedlife]

Yes, I wonder if the scents that "won" are the ones that are also coming out in future LTOs (Gingerbread Hugs, Christmas Tree....etc) and they notice how DUMB that was to include those scents in the voting period and now they have to change things around.

[@kadamowicz68]

@@happilyscentedlife gingerbread donut I think was up for voting and I thought yup, that’s gonna make it because do the other gingerbread stuff coming out.

[@AprilLeeWaxQueen]

I’m so bummed they didn’t announce the BBMB winners when they said they would! I don’t like the rules changing all of the sudden 😢

[@happilyscentedlife]

Nope, not a happy camper. I will stomp my feet and pout here on my soapbox LOL

[@Extravagantscents]

Love how open and honest you are! Not giving into the koolaid is refreshing to many people. I was annoyed by the bbmb but i refuse to let my clubs ship until we are told the winners 😂

[@happilyscentedlife]

I am hoping the delay makes for an epic announcement, all i care about is getting Thunderstorm back and off my heartbreak list lol

[@aprilthernandez]

It's upsetting, because Scentsy's biggest customer base are the consultants, and they're snatching every loop hole that you have found to save a buck that they potentially want in their pockets not yours. They're hope is that youll be so addicted you'll continue to adapt when instead, they should be focused on the consumer and the output of quality merchandise. Consultants deserve a break. We're buying most products at retail, and working for coupons.

[@happilyscentedlife]

Preach! Yes! We deserve so much more than what we are given.

[@KiaraLemmone]

I agree its BS. Why would I be anymore excited if I know in November or if I know now in August. I am really annoyed.

[@happilyscentedlife]

Right, it doesnt make sense, the level of excitement is going to be the same haha

[@bethferrington3247]

Yes I was upset because I’ve been looking every day on there for the BBMB announcement list. And that was my first thought as well! They don’t want people pulling bars out of club early. Good call and I love your honesty! They must think we’re stupid lol

[@KiaraLemmone]

I have been checking daily as well. I am really ticked.

[@happilyscentedlife]

Stupid enough to believe their sales tactic, I'm not falling for it, Scentsy.....*happily skips/hacked club another 2 months* tee-hee

[@happilyscentedlife]

Same

[@valerievantuinen1372]

I listen with open ears and heart to your content. I believe that they don’t want to release the winners for BBMB because they are still deciding what the scents will be based on oil availability and negotiations.

[@happilyscentedlife]

@@valerievantuinen1372 interesting, didn’t think of it that way. That could be possible too. You would think they would go through the necessary oils to make those blends and verify that they can get them before allowing them to be voted on. I’m hoping I’m just irritatingly annoyed temporarily and they will make this BBMB worth all the hiccups :)

[@LeticiaWorboys]

YEP! This is exactly what I was thinking and the club orders!

[@ashleybusch831]

Im gonna call it on bbmb sugar cookie, perfect pomogrante, gingerbread, christmas tree will be the "winners"

[@happilyscentedlife]

I will be hopping a flight to Idaho if those are the winners hahaha

[@acadiaterritory7178]

Getting tired of Scentsy, they care more about getting $$$ than the loyal customers. You can’t trust their word.

[@happilyscentedlife]

Thats how I feel with them launching a new LTO every dang week. Chase the hype and FOMO to get a dollar

[@arasren5695]

I'm so sick over this bbmb update. I've been waiting all month long. If they originally said the winners were going to be announced in August then that is so beyond messed up that they decided to just change it

[@happilyscentedlife]

Why so quick for a change? What's the real reason? Why 30 days were they confident that the BBMB was going to be announced and then pull out last minute?

[@arasren5695]

Exactly!

[@allthingswax]

I'm not happy about the scent circles at all. They know a lot of people do fundraisers with them, and this really makes it harder. I still haven't come to terms with the 3-pack of bulbs either. At the very least, do a 3-pack minimum, but let us choose which 3.

[@happilyscentedlife]

Right, that would have been better build our own 3-pack bundle, or even if they forced a 6 pack minimum, still let us choose the scents.

[@g.m.6977]

I agree with what you said about the BBMB. I didn’t like having to vote in two rounds & now this. I don’t even remember the scents we voted on. I know none of them are in my club. No last minute orders for me, my quarterly club ships in September so if I want any summer or fall bars I’ll add them to that shipment. I’m looking forward to getting Hollow Harvest (clubbed it) and Peaks & Pines. I may throw Pumpkin Sticky Buns in my club today. In case the Gourdy Goodness collection doesn’t stick around.

[@happilyscentedlife]

Definitely try Pumpkin Sticky Buns, i enjoyed the rich dark caramel notes I was getting on warm with the pumpkin

[@meltingmemoriesco]

Yes say it like it is!! That’s complete nonsense to keep that information from consumers!

[@happilyscentedlife]

Right, just tell us, I promise I will order! LOL

[@lisapgardner]

SAY IT GIRL. So sad what Scentsy has become this year. So many decisions have hurt the consumer and padded their pockets. the license products not being bundled moving forward is just as frustrating. all they come out with now are licensed products, yet they don’t make it a deal for people who want to buy them. scentsy, get it together.

[@happilyscentedlife]

Yeah, I feel like many people will re-imagine how and if they will order Scentsy.

[@ashleybusch831]

I had time to finish this video sorry being so late too the party, Look at how they did Beetle juice, That should have been sold out on the first day especially with all the hype. They switched the date on beetlejuice sneaked Beetlejuice up on us and it's still available a week later, and they raised the price m Your successful cause you tell it like it is, which is refreshing, I vented to you the other day I am over it,

[@happilyscentedlife]

I think the price point deter many customers and consultants from buying, I was also surprised it didn't sell out as well. Yes, I loved our vent session, always refreshing to get it off my chest and move on haha

[@rebeccacollin550]

You are not alone with the upset regarding this new bbmb announcement update. We have been waiting patiently for over 7 weeks for the winners list to drop, like they had told us it would even before the voting began/ended. Now my strategy for editing my club is completely out the window. Was waiting on, and hoping to see that Orange Dreamsicle was going to be coming back so that I could drop Tangerine Creamsicle from my club, and now I might just cut it anyway and hope for the best. Not impressed, and not interested in playing these games with Scentsy.

[@happilyscentedlife]

See exactly, people sometimes have their clubs or just ordering in general based around these announcements. I personally do not think it will hurt sales AT ALL

[@LeticiaWorboys]

I love how at the start of everyone of your videos you are so quiet and sweet with your voice and tone, then towards the end we see the real Aimee come out!! 😂😂😂 Voice tone totally changes!! Love it!! I completely agree with u though, it's all about sales.

[@happilyscentedlife]

oh yeah my 1-900 voice and how quick i flip the switch. all those years of telemarketing, i was the queen of the mute button 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@karencarvell114]

I was patiently waiting to see what scents were returning for January…and as a customer I am disappointed in Scentsy announcing this at the end of the month. Maybe they are still trying to decide on what scents got the votes…lol…it’s never the ones I voted for it seems…

[@happilyscentedlife]

No it nevers is. It seems like there is always about 5 fragrances that sneak their way in with no prior "top 25" sticker.

[@beckyfranks2804]

I’m irritated that Scentsy comes out with all these 5 bar collections - we as consultants get early access and when the collection releases to the public, it sells out in 2 weeks! WTH? Why aren’t they making enough bars?

[@happilyscentedlife]

To push Scentsy club, thats why all these LTOs keep coming out, to chase the hype of a new scent/new collection and then follow that chase and excitement to the next LTO

[@eddieubert-independentscen6105]

Totally agree with the BBMB, I know I would be pulling bars out right now if we knew what's coming. (Scentsy Club) Don't even get me started on Scent Circles. I do in person vendor events, this is my last season offering Scent Circle unless Scentsy changes it back to where we can choose individual scents (not 3 of one scent). I'm not going be offering as big of a selection for my fall shows, but I tend to sell more of them in the fall than spring.

[@happilyscentedlife]

See, it is definitely going to affect how (we) as consultants choose to do vendor shows, parties, close out party links...etc $3 scent circles on single purchase was so great, not going to purchase the new bulk packs. You know for sure, people will be stocking up on scent circles come flash sale time LOL

[@michellelyman7092]

why do you think they are making us buy our Scent Circles in 3 packs? I can tell you right now I won't be ordering that much in the future because of it! I did club 2 from Gourdy Goodness btw. I also am bummed we wont' know about BBMB till November. I really want to get more of the Spooky but Sweet bar, it's not unique but I really like it. I'm going to try to jump on those Fragrance Flowers for sure!! I lost out last time....I did make an order yesterday and I will be making an order on Sept 1st. as well as I have already updated my clubs.

[@happilyscentedlife]

I think they may be losing money on scent circles and get stuck with many in overstock, that by doing the 3 pack it ensures inventory will move on through.

[@summertofall]

Maybe they are hoping by delaying the announcement that we will buy more stuff now, because if we don’t know what won we can’t plan ahead for BBMB. Like if I know Vanilla Cream won and is coming back I would buy less vanilla fragrances between now and then because I know I’d stock up on VC in January. I also would buy less stuff ahead of time if I knew for sure there were say 15 fragrances I’d buy in BBMB and they probably are trying to find a way to keep people from doing that.

[@happilyscentedlife]

That's a good point, but I feel like people will spend money on Scentsy regardless if they are "spoiled" with news on future LTOS months in advance. I am hoping that they will make good and have it be an amazing BBMB promotion seeing what we went through lol

[@jennkerwin4821]

In regards to BBMB I will no longer Vote for any of them. I like to know if any of my votes helped to get scent bars back for my customers.

[@happilyscentedlife]

I gave up voting last round, with all the repeats and duplicates I just casted one vote and skipped out.

[@sherylharris4489]

I didn’t bother voting this round. I think they do it for show and hype and then make what they want to anyway. Disappointed in them lately. Flash sale fiascos and BBMB delays. All the things.

[@happilyscentedlife]

They need to not change what isn't broken and focus on the things that need their attention, like technology issues and focus more on catalog stop with the LTOS.

[@Kmariemelts]

Love your honesty!

[@happilyscentedlife]

I appreciate that!

[@michelleschaber8205]

So disappointed in the BBMB announcement.

[@happilyscentedlife]

Very, waited all month for an anti-climatic ending to August. I feel violated lol

[@LeticiaWorboys]

The scent circles suck anyways!

[@happilyscentedlife]

I like getting them for free as gifts to people who buy for me and I do enjoy them in my car but its usually hit or miss.

[@LeticiaWorboys]

@happilyscentedhomes I do appreciate when someone gifts me one though. I opened a sugar cookie one yesterday and only could smell it for 10 mins. Ridiculous!!! Jammin Jubliee was a pretty good one if you need to pick more up or recommend one.

[@happilyscentedlife]

Same with Peace Lily Be With You, it was SOOOOOO strong the first day in my car, second day "where the hell did the scent go" hahaha

[@shondimacdonald]

If Gourdy Goodness was so popular, why wouldn’t they continue to sell it? Had asked about BBMB, but should have watched until the very end! Should have known you would address it! 😂

[@happilyscentedlife]

Yes, i saved the rant for last in case people didnt want to hear it. People are ready for fall leave the collection along and keep it!!!

Its not worth the price for the performance spend the $10 and get yourself a pod pack for your car instead
