KristinesShower Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 They just aren't selling anymore & although I am looking forward to doing it, I am at a loss what to replace them with. I am posting on several boards to get some ideas what is popular now as well as doing some R&D at the BBW, TBS and VS. What is your favorite scent right now?

Holly Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 They just aren't selling anymore & although I am looking forward to doing it, I am at a loss what to replace them with. I am posting on several boards to get some ideas what is popular now as well as doing some R&D at the BBW, TBS and VS. What is your favorite scent right now?It is hard to choose just one but for this time of year I have been loving:Cinnamon Stick (The Scented Bean)Persimmon Spice (BNL)Vanilla Dreams (The Scented Bean)Cinnamon Buns (The Scented Bean and actually any cin. buns)any of the spicy scents -- there are so many -- I really can't tell which one is my favorite. In some ways I am a little tired of all of them -- been pouring too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spellkast Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Could you let us know what you carry in your line right now? This way we can maybe add to it- instead of possibly naming ones you're already carrying? I've noticed a spike in sales for trendy scents, such as lovespell, pink sugar, white tea & ginger, juniper breeze. I've just added these to my line and they sold out so quickly!! Seems like clean and fresh is the new thing! Also, steady sellers all year round for me are sugar cookie, lilac and jamaican me crazy. Hope that helps!!Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spellkast Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I'm retarded...I didn't read the bottom- MY favorite scents are Jamaican Me Crazy, White Tea & Ginger, Lovespell, German Chocolate Cake and Sugar Cookie..oh, and gingerbread from JS..SO good! basically what my customer's favorites are as well! Sorry bout that...hope something I said helps you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Well if we know what you carry already and what you are discontinuing, it might help. My faves are not always what sell. It depends on the time of year and if it's in a store or at a show.Coconut doesn't do very well at shows but sells well in the stores. Apple Pie does well at both stores and shows as does Cinnamon Bun and Cranberry Cinnamon,Chocolate Browie does great and shows and okay in stores.Butter Cream does okay at shows but doesn't move in the stores.Lovespell and Amish Harvest do great no matter where they are.Fresh Linen will be discontinued due to very little movement this year. Will bereplaced with something I test in January or Feb which are my research and development months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a year long test picking out spring, summer, fall and winter months as a guide and these just aren't moving at all. I can't say that I am depressed too much as I hate some of these anyway :tiptoe: I am going to be keeping them on hand because I do sell bathbombs in those scents wholesale, so my customers will still be able to get them in bathbomb form.I have been looking at these scents - what do you think? These are all from NG as I want to make her my official supplier (she is close)Blackberry SageFantasyFresh PearPinkOatmeal, Milk and HoneyGingerLove SpellSecret CrushAngelFlirtationLemon SugarOceansPleasuresI know most of them are dupes, but do you see something that I definitely should have? I think I am just going to order samples and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spellkast Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Lovespell, Blackberry Sage and Ocean are my votes- they are all great sellers for me (and I get them all from NG...They're fantastic!!!) HTH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Lovespell stand out among those that you listed that you're interested in, although for the life of me I can't understand why ANYONE likes this scent, it makes me wanna hurl!! And wouldn't ya know it, it's my daughters' FAVORITE scent, so I have to smell it ALL the time!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindym Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Oh also Rice Flower and Shea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinesShower Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Ok I just went and placed an order with NG for my samples. I am going to do a poll to help me get a better understanding what really moves with you guys. I wish I could be more of a help to myself, but I only use one kind of scent (Skin Musk) & I have worn it since junior high :rolleyes2 Look for the poll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
