Glossary of Terms
This is a very helpful document with various terms you will see used by Creative Memories Advisors.
Advisor Newsletters
Creative Memories sends out Advisor newsletters two times a week – once on Fridays and another on Mondays. These are generally sent around 12pm CT. They may arrive in your “Promotions” box if you use Gmail or in your spam box the first time they are sent to you. I suggest searching your email for “Creative Memories” and if you find it in promotions or spam, drag it back over to your inbox or mark it as a safe sender so that your email provider knows you want to see the emails.
FRIDAY EMAILS typically detail the new products or promotions that will launch on Monday. They will also announce items that get moved over to Last Chance (these are products that are getting ready to sell out and will not be restocked.) Fridays that include a sneak peek at what is launching the following Monday are known as “Preview Fridays.” Not every Friday is a Preview Friday – more on that in the next section.
MONDAY EMAILS typically include reminders of what is launching that day (if it’s a launch day) as well as event and sales recaps from the previous week.
New Product & Promo Launches
Products and promos (almost) ALWAYS launch on Mondays at 12pm CT.
For the most part, each month will have two launches – new product at the beginning and then, depending on the month, new product and/or a promo for the mid-month. Now, what throws things for a bit of a loop is that beginning of the month launch may actually happen at the end of the previous month. That actually happened 6 out of 12 months in 2022 and I expect we will see a similar pattern for 2023. When that happens, the 1st/3rd Monday “rule” doesn’t apply. I’ve kept a running list of month-by-month product/promo launches for the past several years. You can access it HERE.
There are only two promotions that repeat annually, though the specifics of the promotion vary year to year. The two promos are the Summer Promotion (second half of July) and the Black Friday Promotion (second half of November.) The rest of the promotional schedule varies year to year though it’s almost always the second part of the month.
Advisor Facebook Groups
Creative Memories Home Office (“Home Office”) runs a Facebook group for Advisors. It includes Canadian and American Advisors. It can be a GREAT resource, but it’s a HUGE group and can be overwhelming at times.
I also have a private team Facebook Group invite all of my team members to join.
Product Credit Coupon Code
You will receive a $50 product credit from Creative Memories after joining. These credits need to be used within 30 days of signing up. When you are in the checkout process you will see a spot that allows you to “Use CM Credits” and this is where you will enter in the number of credits you would like to use for the order.
If you reach Level 2 by selling or ordering $551+ within 60 days of signing up, you will receive $100 product credits. When you reach Level 2, your commission percentage increases from 10% to 25%!
