welcome to team awescrap!

Welcome to Gina, Becky & Tonia to my Close To My Heart team, Awe Scrap!!  I am delighted to have you on our award winning team!!!

Look at all the great stuff they got in their starter kit.  See it all here.

 

 

march stamp of the month

So first off, by the way, how do you like my photo prop.  I can't seem to get my scanner to work with my photos right now so have been using my stairs to do my photos.  I should see about using my new carpeting as a business expense!!

Here is a card using the March Stamp of the Month.  This set is only available this month. 

You can make this card for free at the Stamp & Scrap-A Paper Arts Expo on Saturday March 31st.  The expo is at the Hilton Garden Inn.  I'll be there on Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM.  The show is free and the parking is free.  They'll be lots going on like free make & take projects, new product demonstrations, drawings and give-aways.  This show is to replace the Rubberstamp and Scrapbook Expo that was cancelled for the same weekend.  Show inventory was bought specifically for that cancelled show so there is sure to be good deals.  

So back to using my new carpet as a business expense, I probably can't write that off but I do have lots of legit tax write-offs that make having a Close To My Heart business a worthy investment.  The starter kit is valued at over $288 but is only $99 AND until the end of this month the starter kit has a bonus gift of your choice of the Cricut Art Philosophy Collection or your choice in $100 select product credit.  Select product includes your choice of stamps, papers, inks, blocks, or Stickease.  There's so much to choose from.  Hurry before it's too late!!  Join my team and get a welcome gift from me.

See what comes in the starter kit      

final week for $100 product credit or free CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge

 

 

Ok well it's the final week to get a free Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge or $100 product credit when you sign up for the Close To My Heart  starter kit.  The starter kit is only $99  but has a retail value of over $288 and with the added Cricut bonus brings the total to well over $400.  You'll save even more with the 22% discount you'd get by joining.  

I just got this article from business coach John Santripetro this morning.  This is helpful info if you are considering this month's special. This is current info as I just received this from him this morning.

The 3 Reasons I Believe There's NEVER Been A Better Time To Own Your Own Stamping Business!

1. Paper Crafting Continues To Grow Annually

According to the CHA (Craft and Hobby Association), paper crafting continues to be the number one craft-related hobby.  In fact, spending on paper crafting supplies has grown by approximately $100 million per year for the last several years... a time-period where the overall economy has not done well AND most discretionary spending has decreased dramatically.

While I wouldn't exactly call the industry 'recession-proof,' it certainly has prospered in an era of adversity.  If you were going to start a business now, THIS is the business to start!

 

2. More Ways To Make Money Than Ever Before

As technology evolves, and consumers become more comfortable utilizing it, the number of revenue streams a stamping business owner can open up has steadily increased. 

Selling product, charging for classes and growing your downline have now been joined by online classes and clubs, e-books, DVDs, Etsy stores, custom-cardmaking and more! 

Stamping businesses have never had more flexibility and opportunity.  Frankly, it is a LOT easier to run a stamping business that pays you what you deserve now than it ever has been! 

Truly, whatever your situation, you should be able to find a profitable model that fits your lifestyle!

 

3. More Tools To Reach More People Than Ever Before

At one time, you had to spend a great deal of money to get your marketing message out to a handful of people.  Now, the opposite is true!  It costs little or nothing to get your business in front of thousands... even tens of thousands of potential customers!

Again, as technology has advanced, the playing field has been leveled to the point where you, the home-based business owner, have the same tools at your disposal as a large corporation.  You can now tap into the same marketing channels that big businesses do with a minimal investment.

The fact that you can expose your business to more people than has ever been possible before means the growth potential of your stamping business is greater than its ever been before!

Whether you want to run a very traditional stamping business, an entirely online one or any other model, it's never been easier to get in front of your potential customers and make that happen!

The notion that you could run an incredibly profitable stamping business out of your home with no employees and very little overhead has never been more true than it is today!

I've been working with stamping business owners since 2000, and I've always been a huge fan of the business model, but as someone who's job it is to help you be successful, I can honestly say I've never been more enthusiastic about your future!

Got questions?  I have answers (to the most often asked questions)!

What is the starter kit value? You're getting a little over $400 worth of product with the basic kit and the $100 in select product or the cricut bundle for only $99 (plus tax and shipping) Awesome!!

How much would my discount be on future purchases? Active Consultants enjoy a discount of 22%-35% depending on their sales for the month.  You can also earn up to $75 in FREE product credit each month.

Do I have to meet a sales quota? Just $300 in retail each quarter (3 months) keeps you on as an active consultant with all consultant benefits and discounts.  There is also a Junior Consultant program with easy to maintain sales requirement is $100 retail per quarter (before your discount).  It's as easy as re-directing your spending from other craft and hobby stores to buying from yourself.

How do the hostess rewards work? CTMH pays out hostess rewards on order of $150 or more  As a consultant, you can get even more freebies as the hostess on an order.

Will I need to maintain any inventory? CTMH does not suggest that you manintain any inventory.  You can order as much or as little at a time so it's not even necessary.

What about training or other events? There is an entire listening library of recorded conference calls, bulletin boards for artwork, business, templates, Studio J, Swaps, Mentoring, and more. There are so many different training options available.  My favorite is the Online Training Academy where you can take free online creative, business, and personal development classes. You can even earn your CTMH Bachelors, Masters, and PhD degrees!  There's also annual events such as Leadershare and Convention. You'll have access to a Consultant Services 800 number with any questions and of course I am available for you, as well.  Love to travel?  The annual CTMH convention is always in super fun places like Vegas, DC, California & Florida.  This year it's in Dallas!  You can also earn free trips like cruises with upscale balcony staterooms.. 

What if I'm not very creative?  This is not a problem.  CTMH has pre-designed projects and workshops that inclueds everything from supplies list, cutting guides, and per/person price break-downs. They have this for each of our paper kit collections.  I started out with zero creative ability.

What can I earn? Consultants earn 22%-35% on their personal sales.  You can also earn an additional $75 in FREE product credit each month. Build a team and you'll earn even more. Senior Directors and above also earn an additional 5% - 15% of personal override commission ON TOP of the regular commission and free product credit!   Don't forget that you can also earn a free all-expense trip for you and a guest. Your earning potential is unlimited!

What if I'm not sure that I want to do this as a business?  Can I just use the discount for myself? That’s not a problem?  That's basically how I started, just for the discount and I've stayed for the fun, friendships and other perks from being a consultant.  We have lots of Hobbyist Consultants or Personal Use Consultants that do not do parties or hold classes or workshops. You are welcome to simply enjoy the discount on your own orders.

How do you sign up? It's easy, it just takes 2-3 minutes right on my website.  Your kit will ship right to your front door and is packed full of fun. Kits usually ship in 2-5 days. Ready to begin a journey you'll never regret? Sign up here
