URGENT UPDATE: from the Creative Memories Home Office

URGENT UPDATE: From the Creative Memories Home Office - the future vision for the company is for a simpler, easier business.

Given the complexity that comes with Product Credits and Coupon Code CDs (that include the $39.95 StoryBook Coupon) we’ve made the decision to stop selling them effective the end of this month, May 31. Though you will not be available to purchase after May 31st, you can continue to apply valid Product Credits and coupon codes on your Digital Center orders.

There is a Coupon Code CD in the Digital Top Pick, so effective June 1, that will be substituted with the Be Young Boy and Girl Content Collection CD 650701, found on pg. 125 of the Spring/Summer catalog).

Booking Bonus Packages B and D feature Product Credits, so they will be removed from the Host Rewards Program after May 31.

Should you have any questions or concerns please contact me, I'm happy to assist you.

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day all! I hope you will take a moment to remember everyone who has served, is serving & those from our Armed Services that have died defending this great nation. Remember to stand when the American flag passes you in the parades that you'll be watching. Our military deserve the respect and so does our Nation's flag.  

 

This is a weekend of remembrance and reflections, not just for BBQ's and parties.  Be safe everyone.

Be sure to take lots of photos and unload them off those memory cards, too.

 

 

Did you know???

 Did you know that there are two places on the Creative Memories web sites to locate a consultant?  Until recently neither did I.  The first site only allows you to find a CMC (Creative Memories Consultant) that has reached a certain sales level unless you know their exact name or CMC ID#.  So if you are searching for ALL CMC's near you this is not the best search to use.  None the less I have listed the instructions below.

This next search will get you the best information if you are looking for CM's closest to you & you want ALL of your local consultant's to be included.

 

I hope that you find this information and these slides helpful in your search for a consultant.

Enjoy your day!

May Newsletter

So many announcements for you.  Please be sure to check out this month's newsletter posted below and be sure to contact me with any concerns.

There's still time to join me this Saturday for my National Scrapbook Day event.  Please contact me ASAP so I can make room for you and I'll be sure to have your special gift set aside for you, too.

Dear Friends

Dear Creative Memories customers, friends and family,

First, I would like to apologize to you for not making you aware of this information sooner. I had to take time to digest the information for myself before I passed it along to you my dear customers, friends and family.

On Tuesday, April 16 Creative Memories notified all Consultants that the company was taking the necessary steps to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This announcement came as a shock to everyone including me. The intention is for the Company to use this filing as a business tool to restructure and refocus on the mission, simply preserving memories! I want you to know that I still believe in this mission and the importance of telling your stories in a meaningful way.

I have been and always will be transparent with you about Creative Memories and the business. The Company is pursuing a simpler Creative Memories which in turn will put us on the path to stability. As the bankruptcy process moves forward, my expectation is to see the current product line streamlined and because of this I would encourage ordering any products that you have been wanting now versus waiting. We have already seen products become unavailable in the last few days.

I have faith that Creative Memories will be stronger by taking the steps outlined above. Still, you may want to consider using your Rewards Club/Product Credits if you have any as a precaution.

I am committed to keeping you, as my friends and customers informed as new details regarding product offerings and events arise.
The plan right now is to move forward operating the business as usual for both Creative Memories and me. With that said National Scrapbook Day (more info to come today) and all of my planned events are still on. My goal is to continue helping you preserve and document your stories, your way!

If not for Creative Memories I would have never had the opportunity to meet and become close friends with many of you. I believe in Creative Memories, I believe in the mission and I know, in my heart that the Company will be better after this and I plan to be a part of the new and improved Creative Memories!

Please visit Restructuting News section on our website at http://www.creativememories.com/restructuring/ There you will find some basic information, “A letter to our fans,” and “Chapter 11 FAQs” that you can read if you would like more information about the filing.

If I could show you a NEW way to honor a loved one, tell a child they matter, build self-esteem and confidence or relive a special event in a way would you like to hear more?

I'm going to show you new ways to get your photos back into your life that does not require the craft of scrapbooking, but still treasured photos enjoyed again in a fraction of the time you think it will take (like entire albums made in less than 2 hours). Yes, that's right - less than 2 hours!
