Essential Rewards is Young Living's loyalty program, a "monthly subscription in a box".  It's COMPLETELY customizable, from what products you want to order to what date you have it processed each month.  And you get points back on your orders as soon as you enroll. You can order laundry soap, hand sanitizer, toothpaste, your daily supplements, anything that Young Living offers. It's not just oils! We use it to replace toxic items in our home monthly, because who doesn't love FREE points back for buying things they would have bought anyway?!

I am sure you may have wondered what the acronyms PV in your Virtual Office mean. When you enroll in Essential Rewards, PV is your Personal Volume.  It usually aligns with the cost of a product.  For example, a 15ml bottle of Grapefruit costs $16.75 and has a PV of 16.75. However, the AromaGlide Roller Fitment pack of 10 costs $9.75 and has a PV of 0 and a Home diffuser costs $63.75 but has a PV of 38.25. If you are not interested in taking a dive into the business side, all you need to do is maintain 50 PV per month to remain on ER.  If you are involved in the business and want to earn some awesome paychecks, you need to maintain 100 PV per month to earn those.


Think about it though...maintaining 50 PV is not difficult at all! You are enrolling in ER because you know you are ordering oils every month!  You are not spending more money out of your monthly budget.  You are simply transferring where you're spending your money.  For example, I'm not spending money at Target on my body wash, laundry detergent, hand soap, etc.  I'm buying all of that from Young Living instead!  And I'm earning tons of points and free products while I'm at it!  No brainer.
Whether you are on the business side or you just want to hook a friend up, you can also order products for people in your ER order and have the products shipped directly to them.  You also have the ability use their credit card info!  You could use your card as well and have them send you the money.  Either way, they are helping your PV! There is always a way to maintain your ER without buying oils yourself!

AMAZING REWARDS

Every Essential Rewards order earns you points that you can use toward free products! The percentage you earn back on your order will grow until you can earn a generous 25% back! 
• 1–3 consecutive months: 10% back
• 4–24 consecutive months: 20% back
• 25+ consecutive months: 25% back
The points really add up quite quickly!  Let’s say you placed orders for the first 3 consecutive months and they were all worth 100 PV.  That means you earned 10 points each month for a total of 30 points or in retrospect $30 towards products.  For the next 9 consecutive months (4-12), you placed orders worth 100 PV as well.  That means you earned 20 points each month for a total of 180 PV.  So in one year, you earned 210 points!!!


The points you have accumulated are shown in your Virtual Office.  Click on Essential Rewards on the right side of your VO. So, what do I do with these points?  Spend them!  Your points act as a gift certificate toward any oil or product whose PV and dollar amount are equivalent (i.e. if an oil is 23.75 PV and costs $23.75).  We like to hoard our points for a few months and then spend them on our favorite oils that are a little more expensive!



Every month there is a promotion that rewards you with amazing FREE products when you reach certain PV minimums.  The picture below shows the rewards for  the Month of April. The structure is the same every month, just the products change. This is, again, when you may want to ask people if they want to try one or two oils, and add things that you would be buying anyway. 



To get started today, login to Virtual Office and click the Essential Rewards tab on the left menu.  Then you can add any oils or products that you'd like!  Next, you will pick a process date (you can change this every month if you want).  Follow the links all the way through, and click save until it says "Congratulations, you have completed your Essential Rewards order!"

Or, you can watch this video, as it walks you through placing your first order!
