--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Scentsy:
WHAT: Scentsy will celebrate its 5th Anniversary and the company’s rapid rise from a small, family-owned business into one the country’s most prominent and emerging home décor brands with a unique community give-back program designed to share Scentsy’s success with the local community.

WHEN:

Saturday, July 18, 2009: 20 businesses at 1:00 p.m. and 20 businesses at 3:30 p.m.

WHERE:

At 40 local, family-owned businesses in the Treasure Valley nominated by Scentsy employees.

HOW:

In the “Giving Back Makes Scents” program, 1,000 Scentsy employees, suppliers and family members, collectively armed with $100,000 from owners Orville and Heidi Thompson, will converge on the Valley in groups of 50 to spend $50 each at 40 family-owned businesses. Each business will receive $2500 in sales revenue from spending by Scentsy employees in their 5th Anniversary shirts. Through this program, the company is working to strengthen the local economy, to show its support for small business owners, and to reward its employees.

Research shows that dollars spent at community-based merchants create a multiplier effect in the local economy. The American Independent Business Alliance estimates that for each dollar spent at a local independent merchant, three or more times as much goes back into the local economy compared to a dollar spent at chain-owned businesses.

WHO:

Scentsy, Inc. is a rapidly growing party-plan company offering a variety of scented, wickless candles heated in decorative ceramic warmers, and other fragrance products. The simplicity and value of its products provide a better alternative to burning wicked candles in the home and office. Scentsy is the Direct Selling Association’s 2009 winner of the Rising Star Award, which recognizes companies that dedicate themselves to achieving a high standard of excellence in business operations. What began in 2004 in a 40-foot ocean shipping container on a small Idaho sheep farm is now a national company growing 300 percent annually with more than 35,000 independent consultants in the United States, Puerto Rico and Guam.
