How do Consultants sell Creative Memories products?
•
Host-sponsored parties. Party
Hosts invite friends, relatives, neighbors and other acquaintances to a party.
Consultants talk about and show the products available for getting photos into
beautiful photo albums, displays, and more. Consultants’ personal service makes
the experience fun for everyone and rewarding for the Host, with the opportunity
to earn free products when the event’s sales reach $250 or more.

individuals is a great way to supplement party sales. When customers feel the
satisfaction of doing something fun with their photos, they’ll share this with
their family and friends, resulting in referrals. This gives the Consultant the
opportunity to sell more and to offer the new contacts the opportunity to host a
Photo Solutions Party. Consultants can also sell products through their personal
websites and on creativememories.com.
