In my quest for the "perfect" home business I found myself investigating the Mia Bella Candle Business offered by the Scent-Sations company. There were a few factors that I had to examine before even considering this opportunity. I personally tried several "business opportunities" dishing out quite a bit of money in some cases and in the end many of these so-called opportunities turned into complete nightmares. So, I have paid my dues and learned the qualifications that a true work at home business opportunity must possess to be considered legitimate.
I asked myself these questions: Are the Scent-Sations' management and financials solid? Would the company pay me? Is the product unique, consumable and affordable? Would I get the support and training needed? Is the buy sand uggs australia boot opportunity affordable and profitable?
After doing my due diligence, I found the following information about the Mia Bella Candle Business:
Company Stability:
In 2002 a pair of network marketers joined forces with the manufacturers of Mia Bella candles to begin Scent-Sations' successful venture.
The Scent-Sations management is comprised of Robert Scocozzo, CEO who was a successful franchisee and small business owner for over 15 years prior to his tenure in network marketing. With 20 years as a full time network marketer, Mr. Scocozzo brought knowledge of business to Scent-Sations, Inc. You can see Mr. Scocozzo speaking about the the Scent-Sations company on CNN Money.
Charlie Umphred, VP has
Carmen Milazzo, the developer of Mia Bella's Natural Wax Candle has over a decade of experience running a candle manufacturing facility. Carmen and his wife Lynn oversee the manufacturing portion of the company.
Scent-sations and Mia Bella Gourmet Candles began in 2002 when Mr. Scocozzo organized a fundraiser selling scented candles for his son's youth basketball team. When the Milazzos delivered the candles, Carmen mentioned that he had developed a new version of candles that are made with natural wax alternatives. His candles produced no black soot and were toxin free unlike the paraffin candles that are on the market.
Milazzo knew that Scocozzo had been a direct marketer and asked for advice on how best to sell the new type of candles. Scocozzo was so excited at the potential that he and Umphred, already business partners, signed Milazzo to an exclusive agreement that led to an equal three-way partnership. "I realized nobody was doing anything" with non-paraffin candles, Scocozzo said.
Not only is the management team top notch but the company's financials are just as solid. Scent-Sations, Inc. has been in business since 2002. The company has experienced a 40% growth per year and finished its sixth year in business buy sand uggs australia boot with over $17 million in sales.
