Advances in technology have been rough on scrapbooking company, Creative Memories.

As it turns out, advances in technology have been rough on scrapbooking company, Creative Memories. In June, the company alerted state officials that cuts were imminent. It’s possible that roughly 163 jobs, out of its 230 person headquarters, will be affected in some way.

The Creative Memories is the parent company of Golden Valley-based Archiver’s, which is a chain of over 40 scrapbooking stores. This company has also filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy since it owes between $10 and $50 million in assets.

Creative Memories offers a variety of products that include scrapbooking, personalized albums, photo-safe albums, and accessories.

In 2011, the company’s net sales were $102 million. In 2010, the company ranked as the 79th largest global direct sales company, with $113 million in net sales, with 29,000 salespeople and 364 employees in seven markets.

This information was summarized from the Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal’s article, “More scrapbooking woes: Archiver’s files Ch. 11, too.”

Why do people join direct selling and network marketing companies?

You might be surprised. There have been some great studies by the Direct Selling Association and other survey organizations. You might think that the main reason distributors join is for the money… of course it is very important. But believe it or not, earnings are number four, five, and six on the list of primary reasons distributors join MLM companies. Number one on the list in the studies is that people join because they relate to the product. Second on the list is that they join because they relate to the management, the founder of the company. Thirdly, they relate to the vision of the company, such as women’s empowerment, health, and savings that make a meaningful difference to households. Also, they relate to the field leadership, such as their sponsor and their upline. And finally, other top reasons consultants join direct selling companies are either “I like to work from home,” or “the more that I work and the harder that I work, the more I am rewarded.”
