How the Essens Perfume Business Works: The Fundamental Guide to Earning with Essens in the UK and Globally
It’s true. You can earn up to 48% of sales value just by setting up your own perfume business with Essens and selling Essens products. With minimum earnings of 33.5%, start you own Essens perfume business today and start earning at least one third of everything you sell in profit from day one. Read on to find out how it works.
Essens works in exactly the same way globally. The currencies may change but the principal remains the same. Visit our Essens USA & Canada, Essens Ireland or Essens Australia & New Zealand pages for more information or to join these other branches.
Lowest risk way to start a Perfume Business
Essens is completely free to join. There is no membership fee nor monthly subscription to keep your Essens account active. You need to place an order within 30 days of joining and once per year thereafter. Every time you place an order the 12 months starts over.
You hold no stock (unless you want to) and rent no premises, as you work from home around your existing commitments. Consequently, you face little risk of being stuck with unsold products. Furthermore, you have no regular overheads to cover before you see a profit.
You choose your own hours. However, you must treat your perfume business like a job to succeed. In fact, a common saying in Network Marketing sums it up: ‘Treat it like a business and it pays like a business. Treat it like a hobby and it will cost you like a hobby.
We do recommend that you invest in a starter kit as this will make it easier to sell the products as your customers will have something to be able to judge the quality of the perfumes for themselves. Starter kits start at £31. However, we have an amazing joining offer. For the first 48 hours after you register, you can order the sample wallet, a full-size perfume and a catalogue, delivered for £34 total.
You’ll profit from your very first sale if you start without a kit, making this business completely risk-free. Sell just five bottles to see a return on your investment, or grab a kit and get your sixth bottle free.
Retail Profit
Every perfume has a retail price, (the price retail customers pay), and a wholesale discounted price, (the price Essens charge). The discounted wholesale price is 33.5% lower than the retail price, so the difference between the retail price and the wholesale price is retail profit i.e. your earnings. For example, a standard bottle of perfume is sold to the customer at £26.10, and you pay Essens £17.40. The difference £8.70 is yours to keep.
Free Bottles of Perfume
In addition, placing orders for 6, 9 or 12 bottles of perfume from either the standard range or the Classic+ range Essens give you 1, 2 or 3 bottles of perfume free respectively. For example, if you place an order for 15 bottles you only pay for 12 of them, so you get 3 bottles free.
The free bottles can be sold at full price, so you make 100% profit on the bottles that you haven’t paid for.
Using the example of 15 bottles that would give you earnings of £8.70 x 12 = £104.40 and £26.10 x 3 = £78.30. Total retail profit = £104.40 + £78.30 = £182.70.
Bonus Commission
Every Essens product has a points value. The points vary by product, but all points from order(s) placed within the same month, are totalled up at 11 pm (GMT) on the last day of each month. A commission bonus is paid on top of retail profit when the orders total 100 points or more. Bonuses start at 3% but go up based on the points level you achieve. The maximum bonus you can achieve is 28% of your monthly points.
For Example, a standard perfume is worth 12 points. Points are only earned on bottles you have paid for, (not the free ones). A 15 bottle order would be worth 144 points. (12 paid bottles X 12 pts per bottle = 144pts). 144 pts would qualify for a 3% bonus based on the total points so would generate an extra £4.32 in earnings.
You will earn £187.02 on a 15 bottle order. That averages out to 48% of the money the customers have paid.
Instant Earnings
Your Essens perfume business earnings are instant. You only place your order with Essens after the customer has ordered with you, and paid you, so the cash difference is yours to keep as soon as the customer has paid and you do not need to carry stock.
You can, if you prefer, collect the money upon delivery. It’s your business, so it’s your choice. Collecting the payment at the time of order is only a recommendation to avoid non-payers and subsequent returns.
