How to Sell $2 Smencils: Fast Facts + Tips for Schools and Distributors

How to Sell $2 Smencils: Fast Facts + Tips for Schools and Distributors

For over 20 years, Smencils have been a beloved part of school fundraisers across the country—delighting students, parents, and teachers with their fun scents and eco-friendly appeal. Traditionally sold for just $1 each, Smencils have now increased to $2. But don’t worry—this change isn’t just necessary, it’s a win for schools and organizations alike.

So, Why the Price Bump?

Rising tariffs and shipping costs have impacted businesses everywhere, and Scentco is no exception. While Smencils held their $1 price tag for over two decades, today’s logistics climate has made a slight increase inevitable. The good news? Even at $2, Smencils are still flying off the shelves.

Bigger, Better, More Fun Than Ever

This isn’t just about inflation—Smencils have had a glow-up:

Expanded product line with more scents and exciting new varieties

Refreshed packaging and themes that students love

Built-in nostalgia for both kids and parents

This means students aren't just buying Smencils—they’re collecting them.

What Makes Smencils an Easy Sell at $2?

Smencils are more than just pencils. They're a sensory experience, a collectible, and an eco-conscious product—all rolled into one. Here’s what makes the $2 price point a smart move:

Schools earn 50% profit—that’s $1 for every Smencil sold

Simple pricing makes it easy to promote and manage

Bundle deals like 3 for $5 or 5 for $8 give students added value

And the profits speak for themselves:

1 Case (500 Smencils) = $500 Profit

2 Cases = $1,000 Profit

3 Cases = $1,500 Profit
All with FREE shipping included.

Distributors Win, Too

Independent distributors can earn $100 per case sold. Sell just 10 cases a week, and you’re looking at $1,000 per week in income potential.

The Bottom Line

Smencils prove that a well-loved, fun, and meaningful product can thrive—even with a small price increase. With 50% profits, easy sales, and enthusiastic student support, Smencils remain the top choice for schools and organizations looking to raise money the smart way.

So go ahead—smell the success.
