Creative Memories Files Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Charity — Tue, 28 May 2013 16:53:22 +0000

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.”

Success in Creating a Direct Selling Company – Four Initiatives to Help MLM Executives

Charity — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 19:24:21 +0000

In the March 2013 issue of Direct Selling News Mark Pentecost, Founder and CEO of *It Works! Global, discussed how he and his team created a mission to grow the company to $100 million in 2012. Not only did the company reach its goal of $100 million in sales, but it did so in seven months instead of twelve months. Mr. Pentecost credits a unifying force of people who all believed in being a part of something bigger. Mr. Pentecost credits the following initiatives to the company’s success:

1) Creating a culture of team members who were “passionate, driven, unified”

2) Staying focused on their goal and avoiding a “copycat” mentality

3) Empowering their team members by providing them with innovative and unique products

4) Offering their prospects and customers a “unique selling proposition” and a unified message

At the end of 2012, It Works! Global the company more than doubled its success, reaching over $200 million in sales.
