I'm pretty excited to see Creative Memories puff up a little bit and start promoting themselves on the internet.
Last winter they opened up their rules allowing Consultants to link to their personal websites in personal blogs and community forums. Then last week they launched a whole new set of Social Media guidelines and training for Consultants to more effectively use outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to promote the company and their personal businesses.
And today, they launched what promises to be a fun, idea-filled, and information-packed Blog site here. Mind you, this isn't a simple corporate blog with a single post-a-day. There are 8 -- yes EIGHT -- separate tabs for their staff and Design Team bloggers:
- BYOB (be your own boss)
- Ideas (all sorts of ideas, not just layouts)
- Free4Me (freebies, freebies, freebies)
- Software Solutions (digital ins and outs)
- Product Solutions (tools, papers, albums, etc.)
- All About Images (good start, but I look forward to seeing where this topic will go)
- Inside CM (promises to be funny and give insights into daily life at their headquarters)
- Why (looks like it's going to explore our stories more ... I think?)
IMHO, Creative Memories has grown tremendously in the last year in their views on marketing. Their product and corporate marketing seems more fresh and current with trends. While there is room in the scrapbooking world (both digital and paper) for lots of players, I'm personally very excited to see Creative Memories enter the 21st century and rightfully begin to take back a bit of their market share.

THank you, Anne Marie!! THey have alot of great freebies too...
