Newsletter, August 2010 - Volume 1, Issue 1

Introducing my NEWSLETTER! I created a newsletter to keep my clients and friends abreast of all the fabulous specials Heritage Makers has to offer each month along with my own specials... Be sure to check it out!

If you want me to email you or snail mail a copy of my newsletter, please forward me your address. :-)

Here are some snippets:

Hi! I am excited to present to you our first issue of the Heritage Times, my client newsletter! This issue is chock full of information you will not want to miss out on! Be sure to forward it to friends and relatives you think might also be interested in receiving it. I am rolling out a new special – if you refer a friend, and your friend becomes a client, you get a FREE swatchbook credit in your account! Moreover, if you refer a friend who joins my team as a consultant, you get a FREE 8x8 storybook!! So, keep talking about Heritage Makers with your friends… or better, host a workshop and invite all your friends and family!! I am currently booking for September & October!

REUNION NEWS

I just recently returned from our fabulous Heritage Makers Reunion, and we had a blast! Everyone shared such inspiring stories, and it made me proud to be a part of something so great!!

What does it all mean for you? Well, we have rolled out some fabulous deals, more artwork and more templates and projects!! All for you!! You will want to check out the template gallery and soon!! There is now more sports art, a European collection and much, much more!! I am so excited to get started on some more projects, and I hope you are too!

New projects include deep-wrapped canvasses in 18x18, 18x24 and 24x18. These will look lovely on your wall in your home. We have also rolled out a 12x12 Post-Bound Album so you can place all your beautiful 12x12 Scrapbook Pages in a personalized customizable scrapbook!

POINT SYSTEM

We are converting to a POINT SYSTEM! That’s right. All of your credits will be converted to points. You’ll still have the same number of points with which to make projects, but it will become so much easier when you change your mind. We all do it. We purchase a 12x12 storybook credit with good intentions to do a 12x12 storybook, but we decide instead we would really rather make a canvas for our home! Now it is so much easier to do! When you check out, just tell the system to use your points for purchase.

Points have a two-year expiration so be sure to use your “oldest” points first! This is a retroactive expiration, so if you have purchased credits one year ago, there is no longer a need to “renew,” you will simply have another year in which you can complete those projects. This gives you a longer time to complete projects along with so much flexibility. You can purchase point packages from me whenever you need more points!!

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about the point system.

Monthly Digi-Crops
Digi Crops will be held in my home on the last Thursday of the month, at 7:00 p.m.
Our August Digi-Crop will be August 26. Our September Digi-Crop will be September 30.
Just bring along your laptop and your ideas, and we’ll plug in and crop!

5% for NWF

Please consider helping out with the oil spill and get started on some great projects at the same time!

In the month of June, I plan to donate 5% of my personal sales volume to the National Wildlife Foundation so that they can save the wildlife affected by the oil spill in the Gulf. Please consider helping.

You can email me your order or if you would prefer, host a workshop with a few friends or a demo with one or two other people.

Please see some of my previous blog posts for ideas... like our June Pick of the Month or our Business Kit sale!

Hope you can help me make a difference!!

Business Kit Sale for June!

So many people took advantage of our business kist sale last month and are so excited that they did. For those of you that missed it, we have a new sale this month! Here is it:

Business Kit $269.96 (normally $299.95) PLUS a free 8×8 Canvas Credit (worth $32) –

Click HERE to check out some of our 8×8 Canvas templates

Our Payment plan is still available – First payment $130 next two payments $75

This is on top of all the other great credits and months of premier art you get with the business kit! Click HERE to view the flyer.

Remember, with Heritage Makers there is no inventory and no minimums. This means that if you are interested in receiving the discounts and workshop benefits of a consultant but aren’t too sure about building a business, no problem! You don’t have to meet any quotas as a consultant and will get over $300 worth of credits and premier with your kit. Plus there are so many ways to earn free and discounted products once you become a consultant.

On the other hand if you are interested in starting an at home business, maybe staying at home with your kids or even just making a few extra hundred a month, Heritage Makers is such a good match. You can make a few hundred a month to a few thousand and more! The best part is we are a ground floor opportunity! We are 4 years old as a company. and are just getting started in the Midwest, so it’s a great time to come on board!

It's Time to Organize Your Photos

If you’re like me, or how I used to be, the very idea of organizing and doing something with your pictures can be overwhelming.

Photo Storage

Did you know that with a Heritage Makers premier membership you have the ability to store and organize all your pictures in a safe place. Here’s what you get:

• unlimited photo storage
• unlimited project creation and storage
• new art monthly
• free online master classes
• over 2,400 templates to choose from, updated daily and 100% editable
• the ability to pull your pictures back off your account in high resolution for free
• photo sharing abilities (email your pictures to a friend)

The best part is, premier art is on sale this month. A whole year for only $99.95, that’s only $8.33/month!

If you’re not sure about a whole year, no problem. We have 3 months for $30 renewing, so you can just start with the three months and go from there!

Scanning

I also have a scanning service where I can take your shoeboxes of pictures and turn them into CD’s for you in a matter of hours. I will also load them onto your Heritage Makers account for free!

Scanning is available for as little as $.19/scan – call today to book your scanning appointment or start or add on to your premier membership.
