CHILL ON THE LTOS LET A GIRL ENJOY THE CATALOG, DANG I understand the marketing reasons and boosting engagement across the slower spring season. But holy moly, I don’t even have time to warm them to decide if I want more before we’re on to the next thing. Let it breathe!!
I used to be very good at knowing which bbmb were from which time frame and which bars were from each specific collection. Nowadays I find myself stumbling and fumbling to remember because of the constant barrage coming at us. It's too much. I also used to be excited to offer information on new and fun promotions/products to customers but don't as much anymore. I could see that the constant barrage of information was making people lose interest (there can definitely be too much of a good thing) There's really so much to be said here, it was a great question that encompasses many layers. I agree with all of the comments re: shipping. This is something Scentsy needs to take into consideration a lot more than they do. Great empties my friend ❤
Great empties! LTOs are exciting but the past year or so there have been so much that it's hard to keep up with and for me also takes away from catalog items because I'm so focused on experiencing the LTOs. The last few early releases I've waited and combined in one order to save on shipping.
When even the hard core wax addicts are finding it too much…it’s too much. I’m not sure it it’s too many releases or too spread out or both. I think both
I agree there are too many LTOs coming out constantly. I often skip the spring summer LTOs but usually get the harvest and holiday collections. If one really piques my interest I’ll throw it in my club to try because I don’t want to pay separate shipping!
Without my RUclips friends (like you!) taking a hit to review all the LTOs, I would not know about and purchase them other than BBMB. While they are exciting, I think moving them to once or twice a month would be sufficient! I think that LTOs should be NO shipping for their consultants, especially if they are so often! You are doing the work of selling their product. The least they could do is to help you out in that way! Great empties! Especially Dewy or Don't We! Smiles, Abby Smith
I’d prefer one LTO a month. I would like to have a LTO tester set offered for all the upcoming collections each season. I also wish Scentsy would list the run time, like “now through june 30th or while supplies last” type of thing on the website. If we could still bundle 6 packs in our club I’d not mind being slammed with LTO’s as much as I do these days. Thanks for sharing Patricia!
I like that they continuously come out with new things, but I would prefer they do it monthly so I can make a decision on what I want, and pay ONE shipping fee. Love all your empties, Patricia! I think you have talked me into Coconuts for Coconuts. I have never smelled it.
I do not even try to keep up with the frenetic pace of LTOs. If something really piques my interest, I add it to my quarterly club. That way, I have time to watch reviews and am only paying shipping 3-4 times per year.
Great point about utilizing club. I tend to get the scents to try and review for the channel so I use my club differently than most so I often forget about it.
I like the LTOs in the way they boost my sales and give me something to talk about in my VIP group, but they are very very hard to keep up with! Between the early access and the different release dates I just cannot keep up with it all!
While I appreciate new products, I prefer the drops to be less so that people can save on shipping. I would also appreciate less licensed products. Or make the license products less juvenile looking. They don't have to be so literal
Iridescent Pearl is super light even for me! Lol! I love it also, but it's the only bar that I use an entire cube of, only in my upstairs bathroom and it barely scents the room and doesn't last too long. I considered grabbing more when it was in clearance, but I just don't reach for it often because I always feel like I'm wasting it. I'd definitely prefer less LTOs, 1-2 per month is plenty. That would leave us more time to focus on catalogue items. The catalogue gets overshadowed for sure. Also, I would like for the consultant "early access" to be released at the same time on the first of every month for anything upcoming, including things that are returning from vaults etc. More and more we need to be given the chance to make bulk orders and save on the astronomical shipping costs. Maybe like the SOTM subscription, there could be an early access subscription, or an "everything that's coming next month" subscription that includes the SOTM as well.
Too many LTOs for my taste - it is really getting difficult to keep track of what scent came out of what collection and whether I have tried it or not.
I would prefer things drop less often. I don’t even promote many of them to my small customer base, because I figure the non-obsessed will get tired out of always having new, and then won’t pay as much attention when I do get excited about something. I will only order about once a month (not counting club, and sometimes a second time if there’s a party to close out), so I’ll try to time it close to my favorite release, and if I miss out on other things, then I just miss out. It’s fine. It would be easier to keep track if it weren’t so frequent, though!
I would prefer less drops of LTOs. I feel for consultants like yourself who are trying to keep up with it all! Appreciate all your reviews, and great empties.
Yes - Ive only pulled out the big tester box once since the new catalog dropped and that was by choice. I still had unreviewed “new” bars that I could have added to the voting line up
I am finding it a challenge to warm all the new LTO’s and some have been very disappointing strength wise and a lot of repeats scent wise. I am reconsidering my club bars as I never have time to warm them. I think I would prefer less so I can warm my favourites.
I think when they draw up scents for a collection they have others that just miss the cut. Then I think they work those runner up ones in for other collections.
Thanks Patricia! I think I might just add Coconuts for Coconuts to an order and give it a try. LTO's are nice...but sometimes too fast and furious. I often don't get them, but add ones I am interested in to my club and then decide if I still want it when I do my club (out of control..lol) edit to try and save shipping costs here and there.
I like a monthly drop but not weekly. I like a monthly drop that would allow for a bigger order or ability to add to my club each month. Multiple a month is hard to manage.
I get Children’s Berry flavored Motrin mixed with chalky Smarties candy (US version), for the Candy Orchard scent. So yes, Scentsy is definitely channeling medicine in some of the fragrances 😂
I don’t care when Scentsy releases LTO’s. If there are bars I want to try I put them in my quarterly club. I’m sure it can be difficult for consultants to keep up with.
Oh! I’ve never experienced frozen peaches at school but I’ll take your word for it. It was a scent that changed for me on warm from cold sniff and now I can’t get around that weird note.
I'd prefer fewer LTO releases in general. (I don't know that I'm Scentsy's typical/desired customer though!) Like, I don't mind if there are a few LTOs but I'd prefer they be released together, with less frequent releases.
I find there are too many LTOs. I wish there were fewer and they stayed around for a set amount of time like 3 months so you have a chance to try and decide if you should buy a few more bars or club; I think BBMB should be longer than 1 month for sure. I also liked that with the Epcot Garden bars they released 3 new scents and re released last year’s scents. If they made that the norm with collections people could try and know they would be back again in a year, wouldn’t need to rush on stocking up or adding to club. I didn’t add Mint Fields to my club originally as performance wasn’t great but I loved the scent, re warmed this year and after curing for a year I got the performance I wanted. So I stocked up with a few bars and added to my club now. With all the LTO’s I also find I forget about the catalog. 😊
I prefer once a month maybe on the 1st. I can't justify spending 14 on shipping every week so unless I really want something I wait to combine an order if it's worth it
Yes I like to get things also but I’ve decided to hold off on some things to combine. I’m actually thinking I won’t get the new Star Wars trio either. Still deciding
I loved it! Very fresh and almost "cool" feeling that is great on a summer day! It seems "lighter" than Skinny Dippin (although I also enjoy that one!) I voted that that and Farmer's Market for many of my BBMB voting!
I see you're looking much better from your rashes. Don't even start with me with my skin. It'd horrendous at the minute. Major exzma break out all over my face. Really upset about it
I don’t mind all the LTO’s, but I would like to see them released only 1-2 times a month. This weekly stuff is silly considering shipping fees. Also, not to get all environmentally preachy, but it’s such a waste in packing material and fuel. I feel like they could really improve some of their practices now that they’re a billion dollar company. I just don’t see that they’ve fully stepped in to that title quite yet, but maybe things will move in that direction with the owners return this summer. They have the ability to create powerful change, and it would be great to see them add eco friendly practices to their mission statement. Sorry, probably more than you were asking for 😂🥸🤓
Not at all! I appreciate all the feedback you gave / opinions. Plus, from a Consultant standpoint the extra LTOs aren’t resulting in a ton of extra orders. (For me anyway)
I can’t wait to get Vanilla Oud back in my club someday. As for LTO’s…I often will pass on them. I personally find that especially with Spring-Summer launches I rarely find a treasure in the bunch. I’m not sure why but I did end up getting early access to the Honeyduke’s, Mental Health Awareness, Father’s Day & the BR Vanilla Scent-Spirations collections 🤷♀️🤦🏼♀️ I might repurchase maybe 1 or 2 bars from all of that. My girl gang are sticking with catalogue, BBMB/club bars they ignore the LTOs unless I rave about them. Maybe it’s a business strategy on Scentsy’s part. Almost all the ‘keeners’ in the wax community (except me) seem to be buying more & more vendor wax & maybe Scentsy wants to keep up with new releases to hold on to market share? I also think LTOs might be a a way for them to test ride a contender for future catalogues. Honestly though before I was a consultant & started watching Scentsy RUclips I barely noticed when new LTOs launched. I just ordered from the catalogue my consultant gave me every season & I’ve been a customer since 2011.
The LTO’s are a bit like waiting for a bus, you wait and wait for one to come along then all of a sudden 3 arrive at once!
Haha - best comment ever
CHILL ON THE LTOS
LET A GIRL ENJOY THE CATALOG, DANG
I understand the marketing reasons and boosting engagement across the slower spring season. But holy moly, I don’t even have time to warm them to decide if I want more before we’re on to the next thing. Let it breathe!!
I find it not helping my sales (that I’ve noticed anyways)
I used to be very good at knowing which bbmb were from which time frame and which bars were from each specific collection.

Yes - it’s a bit like bombardment at this stage
Great empties! LTOs are exciting but the past year or so there have been so much that it's hard to keep up with and for me also takes away from catalog items because I'm so focused on experiencing the LTOs. The last few early releases I've waited and combined in one order to save on shipping.

I’m glad people are utilizing their clubs
Without my RUclips friends (like you!) taking a hit to review all the LTOs, I would not know about and purchase them other than BBMB. While they are exciting, I think moving them to once or twice a month would be sufficient! I think that LTOs should be NO shipping for their consultants, especially if they are so often! You are doing the work of selling their product. The least they could do is to help you out in that way!

That would be an awesome perk for consultants regarding shipping. At this stage I’d settle for the ability to put early access under host rewards.
I’d prefer one LTO a month. I would like to have a LTO tester set offered for all the upcoming collections each season. I also wish Scentsy would list the run time, like “now through june 30th or while supplies last” type of thing on the website.

LTOs should be fun. There’s so many of them it’s hard to keep up - which is stressful and not so much fun
I like that they continuously come out with new things, but I would prefer they do it monthly so I can make a decision on what I want, and pay ONE shipping fee.
Love all your empties, Patricia! I think you have talked me into Coconuts for Coconuts. I have never smelled it.
It’s definitely got a floral component so if you don’t like florals it might not work for you
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I like florals in my bedroom, so I will definitely give it a try. :) Thanks for the warning!!
I do not even try to keep up with the frenetic pace of LTOs. If something really piques my interest, I add it to my quarterly club. That way, I have time to watch reviews and am only paying shipping 3-4 times per year.

I feel like the LTOs are mainly for the addicts.
While I appreciate new products, I prefer the drops to be less so that people can save on shipping. I would also appreciate less licensed products. Or make the license products less juvenile looking. They don't have to be so literal
Maybe every 2 weeks instead? My wallet would be thankful
That would definitely help. Maybe the 1st and 15th of the month. Forget the Monday malarkey.😂
Vanilla oud I love and also vanilla suede
💛

I think 1-2 LTO drops a month would be nice
Too many LTOs for my taste - it is really getting difficult to keep track of what scent came out of what collection and whether I have tried it or not.
There’s so many
I prefer less often LTO’s. It distracts so much from the regular catalogue scents.
I agree Jackie

Yes - I can see that!

Yes - Ive only pulled out the big tester box once since the new catalog dropped and that was by choice. I still had unreviewed “new” bars that I could have added to the voting line up
Too many LTO’s should be one a month
If I could talk to the higher ups I’d ask them to scale back on them
I am finding it a challenge to warm all the new LTO’s and some have been very disappointing strength wise and a lot of repeats scent wise. I am reconsidering my club bars as I never have time to warm them. I think I would prefer less so I can warm my favourites.

I actually just mailed out my samples this morning and I gave you a sniff of Coco(nuts) for Coconuts. Hope you enjoy!
I like a monthly drop but not weekly. I like a monthly drop that would allow for a bigger order or ability to add to my club each month. Multiple a month is hard to manage.
I think as is people are waiting a bit to combine orders, just for the reasons you mentioned
Some fab empties
Thanks
I get Children’s Berry flavored Motrin mixed with chalky Smarties candy (US version), for the Candy Orchard scent. So yes, Scentsy is definitely channeling medicine in some of the fragrances 😂
Haha - Ive also heard Amoxicillin!
I love that scent though so no medicine here
I threw 3 bars of sunburst & bamboo in garbage my bars got so rancid . I won’t buy that again and I loved it . Great empties Patricia💜
My bars made it but I know some don’t!! My scent circle was terrible. I’m glad it was with me and not a customer experiencing that
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes yes
I don’t care when Scentsy releases LTO’s. If there are bars I want to try I put them in my quarterly club. I’m sure it can be difficult for consultants to keep up with.
Yes, it can be.
I wasn't a fan of sunshine mango it reminds me of the box frozen peaches you'd get at school
Oh! I’ve never experienced frozen peaches at school but I’ll take your word for it. It was a scent that changed for me on warm from cold sniff and now I can’t get around that weird note.

Love blue Christmas only tree one i like
I love it but I need a break
Ooooo embers is an oldie
Very old

When there are so many LTOs it makes each one less special
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I agree
I wish they would do a monthly LTO drop. It’s hard to know when to order, and I definitely don’t want to spend that much on shipping.
I agree - the shipping can get to be a lot over time
I gave up on all the LTOs it's too much too fast.
Compared to when I first joined in 2018 it’s night and day
A lot of your bakery sound soooooo good but ours are poor region 2
That’s a trend in certain regions it seems
If shipping was free, every week for a new drop is great. Since it’s not, I’d prefer one drop a month with everything.
The way they drop things we need it to be free shipping
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes totally, those shipping costs add up fast.
I prefer once a month maybe on the 1st. I can't justify spending 14 on shipping every week so unless I really want something I wait to combine an order if it's worth it
Yes I like to get things also but I’ve decided to hold off on some things to combine. I’m actually thinking I won’t get the new Star Wars trio either. Still deciding
@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I debated it. If I get it I may get it with the summer collection early access but that's all I'd be getting is 8 bars.
I think aladdin is blueberry rush
Pretty close !!
Dod you loke strawberry bliss more than simply strawberry?
I’ve only melted a couple testers in Simpky Strawberry so I can’t say
Dewy or don't we I've never heard of
It was from 2019
I loved it! Very fresh and almost "cool" feeling that is great on a summer day! It seems "lighter" than Skinny Dippin (although I also enjoy that one!) I voted that that and Farmer's Market for many of my BBMB voting!
1-2 a month absolutely. There’s way too much
It’s a lot
I have not been able to review all the “newness” even doing 3 scents most weeks for Tester Tuesdays
I see you're looking much better from your rashes. Don't even start with me with my skin. It'd horrendous at the minute. Major exzma break out all over my face. Really upset about it
I’m healing!!
