Wow, it's been so long since I've posted

Wow, I didn't know I hadn't posted since Dec 4. A lot has happened since then, the motor went on my truck (ouch, $4500 later), then after I got the truck back the water pump went too (another little ouch), Christmas and New Years came and went, new products in the online store and another thing we're really excited about is the addition of a trailer to our franchise opportunity model. Yes, that's right, after all the problems I've been having and the events that I had to miss, I decided to add a trailer option to the franchise opportunity. So if someone doesn't want to drive a cube van or postal van around, they can purchase a Memories in Motion trailer (with inventory) and pull it to different events. The advantage to the trailer is that if your truck breaks down you can just rent a truck to pull it to your events instead of missing out on meeting new people and selling supplies. The trailer option is also good because it is cheaper and more affordable. If you're interested in our franchise opportunity, don't hesitate to email or phone us (780) 297-0019.

The other service we added was "Online Shopping Parties". This is just like an online tupperware party only with scrapbooking supplies. One person signs up to be a "hostess" and then she tells all her friends to come to our website to shop and everyone gets a 5% discount on their orders. Then at the end of the time period, the hostess gets 10% of the sales in FREE stuff.

Feb 7 - 10 we'll be at the Southern Alberta Bible Camp (Vulcan) for a retreat. Carmen told me that they still have spots available. If you would like to attend this retreat, email her at: carmb@la.shockware.com

Since this is retreat season, we have scheduled a retreat every month at Bittern Lake Lodge (www.bitternlakelodge.com) from now until June. Some of the dates are booked up, but there are still some spots available.

Chat with you soon!
