I've sometimes wondered why I've been a Creative Memories consultant (CMC) for so long, i.e., yesterday was my 15th anniversary. It certainly hasn't always been an "easy job" planning & orchestrating events, lugging around supplies & products, encouraging clients to host "Get Togethers"and finish albums, making phone calls, writing newsletters, creating product samples, dealing with business disappointments, etc., etc., etc. Initially though, I became involved because I loved the Creative Memories products so much ---- of course, our albums are fabulous, but I especially loved our first Circle Cutter, and our new improved Cutting System is even better, way better. Our Cutting System is still, in my opinion, an amazing product invented by female product designer/engineer at CM and followed-up by the Personal Trimmer, the 12x12 Digital Pages, and now our new PicFolio albums! I've always believed that Creative Memories products are the best scrapbooking products on the market today.
Anyway ...........
My reason for getting involved with Creative Memories on 7/3/93 was to be able to buy all the great supplies at cost. Other than that, I had no other business goals at the time. I knew I would need several albums, because I intended to make many albums over my lifetime, and I just didn't want to pay full-price.
Over the years though, I've come to realize there's an even bigger reason why I stay active and encourage others to get involved as customers, as hosts, or as fellow-CMC's. I stay involved because I know for certain that -------- photo albums change lives. You really do have the ability to affect and change someone's life (your children, your spouse, your friends, even your own life) with a finished photo album!
How? I'll answer that question in my next post.
