Fast-Growing and Large: Scentsy Ranks No. 85 on 2011 Inc. 500, is the Largest in the List’s Top 200

MERIDIAN, Idaho--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Inc. magazine has named Scentsy the 85^th fastest-growing company in the country on its 2011 Inc. 500 list and the largest company by revenues among the top 200. The party-plan fragrance company’s 2010 revenues of $381.8 million and 3-year sales growth rate of 2,904.4% earned it this prominent place on the magazine's 30th annual listing of the nation's fastest-growing private businesses.

“We have our Consultants and employees to thank for maintaining the focus on quality, value and service through Scentsy’s rapid growth.”

Scentsy also ranked as the No. 1 fastest-growing direct selling company on the 2011 list and No. 9 among all consumer products and services companies. Last year Scentsy was No. 19 on the Inc. 500 and the No. 1 fastest-growing consumer products & services company.

Scentsy was founded in 2004. Its flagship product is scented, wickless candles heated in decorative ceramic warmers. The warmers use a low-watt light bulb so there is no flame, smoke or soot. Independent Consultants sell the wickless candles and other Scentsy fragrance products at home parties, through catalog or basket parties, and online.

“We are pleased Scentsy is again among the fastest-growing companies in America, and also the largest company in the top 200 firms on the Inc. list,” said Heidi Thompson, President and co-owner of Scentsy with her husband Orville. “We have our Consultants and employees to thank for maintaining the focus on quality, value and service through Scentsy’s rapid growth.”

“It is remarkable for a company of our size to grow at such an exponential rate,” said Orville Thompson, Chief Executive Officer and co-owner. “It’s evidence of how passionate and loyal Scentsy customers are to our products.”
