Really BIG news in my
new BUSINESS! Please read!
After almost 9
years with Creative Memories, now Ahni & Zoe, I have made the difficult
decision to resign. This was not a decision I entered into lightly. Let me
explain...
Over the past
few months, I've been listening closely to those who have photos, both my
current clients and potential clients and what I'm hearing is that a segment of
them truly enjoy the art of creative scrapbooking while others only take
digital photos and are looking for clear, quick and easy ways to organize and
print them in photo books or other formats.
In Creative
Memories, I was able to meet both clients’ needs, and then a transition
occurred that drastically limited my ability. I struggled with this and really
tried hard to embrace the changes and support the company as it re-launched as
well as it's consultants. A digital app was promised that would ultimately help
all of my digital clients and help me reach new clients because after all,
digital output is the wave of the future. (Fuji Film marketing research has
proven this). However, the app has had multiple delays and is still not
available nor can they give us an anticipated release date. Then last month,
the Co-Founder, Rhonda Kanning Anderson, who was the heart and soul of the
company, resigned. She is going with a company that will allow her to
rejuvenate the scrapbooking line that recently discontinued. In addition to
being able to help that segment of clients again, this same company (Heritage
Makers/Youngevity) already has a very well established method of printing photo
books and an app that prints photos with more fun capabilities coming! I can't
tell you how excited I was to hear this. Now once again, I will be able to help
my clients and future clients on every end of the photo spectrum. I am pleased
to tell you that I am in Rhonda’s second line in Heritage Makers and I am
thrilled about that!
I have met some
absolutely fabulous people in my former company and will truly miss those who
are staying, but I also understand that we all must do what is right for us
both personally and professionally. I wish A&Z luck and success in the
future. Thank you for all I have learned, the ways I have grown as a person and
as a business woman, and the friendships made the past 9 years.
Not a digital
photo book person? Not a problem. Rhonda Anderson's traditional
scrapbook line AND pre-designed album lines along with tools that you may
recognize, cardstock, tape runner and more just launched! It has it's own
name...Our Memories for Life! Last Friday, the 25th, I received our
new brochure, which beautifully display the albums and all the designer page
collections! Products are ready to order
now!!! (Albums, all the refills, papers
and pens). Tape runners and tools are
coming soon as well!
I'm super excited about all the new options we
will have with my new company, Heritage Makers/Youngevity. OK, I know it
sounds odd that a photo book company would team up with a Health and Nutrition
Company but, in doing so, they became even more financially sound.
Youngevity believes in a healthy mind, body and
soul. While they have been offering nutritional items for years, they
believe that having family stories recorded creates a healthy mind and soul!
Of course I became a part of the Youngevity
family because of their daughter company, Heritage Makers and Rhonda's new
line, but that means I can also show, sell and use any of their other lines
without buying an additional membership. I plan to try many of the other
things they offer including: Healthy Chocolate, Bars, Vitamins, Mineral
Makeup, Healthy Food, Jewelry, Aroma Therapy/Essential Oils and more!
My Grand Opening
was this weekend. I just received some digital projects so can show how
beautiful they are and I have the new brochure that you can see as well!
If you would like to see STUDIO, Heritage Makers digital online program, go to
my website and play around on it. It is FREE and you can upload your books
there right now if you want to! (Just save your pages as jpegs to your
desktop and drop into their blank template, and order!)
I am REALLY
excited about having more to offer you again!
