Board Books To Be Discontinued

It's sad, but true... (remember...don't "shoot the messenger")!

Due to ongoing difficulties and associated costs with manufacturing the board book, we will be discontinuing this product. To ensure that clients have the opportunity to publish a board book project they may have been planning, we have established the following schedule:

1) Users will be able to download board book templates and start new projects until April 30, 2011.

2) Board books can be ordered through June 30, 2011. Projects completed on or before June 30th will be available for viewing indefinitely to allow users to recreate their projects in a different book format.

Please let me know if you need any help at all getting your projects published ~ Betty

Studio Tip of the Day

When designing paper, photo and embellishment-intensive projects, be sure to remove all left over items from the pasteboard (the white space surrounding the live print area). Occasionally, projects with element-intensive pages and cluttered pasteboard areas do not print correctly. Removing left over design components from the pasteboard lowers overall file size and helps your product print more quickly and dependably.

Look Who's Talking Now!

First Oprah, then INC 500, now a great article in Women's Day magazine! Look whose talking about Heritage Makers now!


HERITAGE MAKERS FEATURED IN WOMAN’S DAY MAGAZINE

Provo, Utah – March 23, 2011 – Heritage Makers, the leader in personal publishing for hardbound storybooks, was recently featured in the nationally acclaimed Woman’s Day magazine. The article, written by financial guru Mary Hunt, praises the home-party network as a profitable business opportunity for women who wish to contribute to the family income without working outside of the home. Heritage Makers was one of three companies highlighted in the article. The magazine is now on newsstands.

“It’s a special honor to be recognized as an industry leader by Woman’s Day,” states Justin Biggs, General Manager at Heritage Makers. “We know that consumers face many challenges in today’s economy, so we feel especially pleased that our company is helping women to succeed—personally and financially. Our network of consultants across the United States and Canada is making a difference in the lives of families by helping them share the power of story. Earning a significant income every month is just an added bonus. Our consultants love what they do.”

Amie Austin, a Heritage Makers consultant in Southern California, was chosen to represent the company for this article.  “I love what I do!” says Amie, “Heritage Makers has empowered me to build a solid business, while still being able to take care of my growing family.” She continues, “There’s simply no other company around that offers a product and a business opportunity as unique and rewarding as Heritage Makers.”

Heritage Makers has grown at a rapid pace since its founding in 2004 and is now the nation’s leading storybooking company, offering a wide range of digitally-created and professionally-designed products including books, cards, scrapbook pages, canvas prints, and much more.

Anyone can become a Heritage Makers consultant. The start up consultant kit starts at $50.00. To learn more about becoming a consultant and joining this unique direct selling company, visit MyStoryBookLady.com.
