Advertisements Must Be Working!

2009-10-27T17:20:00.000-07:00

I got a call this past weekend from a gal who got my information about Beacon Errand and Concierge from a Cafe close to her house and hired me to walk her dogs for a week while she's out of town. Cool, I thought, that she saw my add and took one and actually called me. So, today, on my first day of walking her dogs, I decided to stop by that little cafe, which actually has really good food!! After contemplating the menu, so many good choices, I ordered and went to take a seat. As I walked by the community bulletin board where about a month earlier I had placed a nice cardstock folder with take away advertisements of what I offer in my business, I noticed the folder was empty!!! WOW .... people are actually taking them !!!! Shocked that they were all gone, I preceded to the car to get more take-a-way 1/4 sheet flyers, but had none ... am replenishing my briefcase and taking some by there tomorrow when I go to walk her dogs. Guess I need to check the other establishments to see how they are doing with my advertisements! I had been getting quite discouraged with the errand and concierge business, although everyone I have talked to loves the unique idea of what I offer, I have not been getting many calls, family and friends really, no outside calls, so getting this call and finding that people are taking the flyers is HUGE!! So I guess I need to devote one day a month to going to the businesses I have put flyers in and replenish what's there and look for new places to put my adds.

Also, today, I received my vinyl window sign for Heritage Makers. It's raining, so I need to wait till it drys and then get it applied. Advertising is new for me, so it's trial and error, but very encouraging to find that people are not only looking at my flyers, but taking them and calling and hiring me!!!

AWESOME ... only up from here!!!

I know it’s hard to believe Christmas is just around the corner … but it will be here before you know it!! Every year I enjoy making cards to send out to our family and friends for Christmas and this year is no different. I have already begun making our Christmas cards and am having so much fun making them in a different way. I am using the Heritage Makers studio to create personalized cards where I can put pictures of our family or just use the art available making them without photos. I have not decided on a card yet, but am playing around with a couple of ideas. The great thing about Heritage Makers is that you can use a pre-made template in our studio or create from scratch … even the templates are 100% customizable! Some people use the greeting cards while others use the invitations or postcards …. they are all personal … customizable, fun and YOURS!!! The greeting cards and invitations come complete with envelopes and you even have the option of having Heritage Makers mail your cards for you. Time is running out …. Contact me today for information on your personal Christmas Cards this Holiday season!!! Signing up on my website is always free … it costs nothing to begin a project with Heritage Makers. If you like what you see and decide on a project, contact me … price discounts are available when ordering through me instead of straight from the website … also … new customers are rewarded with gifts from the home office … call me today to find out what we have to offer!!!

BEN'S BOARD BOOK ARRIVED!!!

2009-10-25T15:08:00.000-07:00

Benjamin, our youngest grandchild, will turn 2 on Halloween and I can't wait to give him this book that tells him just how very important he is to our family. Each page tells Ben why he is important to his family members ... his mom, his dad, his grandparents, his brother, his aunts and uncles, his cousins and his family and friends. Being a board book, it is durable enough for him to look at over and over again ... and as with all Heritage Makers storybooks, it's covered with our heirloom assurance so if Ben gets a little too rough with his book I can send it back and get another one at half price!! This book, as with all the projects made in the studio, is kept on file with Heritage Makers, not my hard drive so I can get copies if I want or if down the road as Ben gets older and wants to replace the damaged worn-out book from his toddler years, we can get a duplicate just like the first one he got on his second birthday!

I love Heritage Makers for many reasons, the most important is to see how happy the storybooks, deck of playing cards, calendars, family folds and so on, make my family when they look at them, but also I love HM because I have my own studio at my fingertips that is here for me to create projects when I want for as long as I want and however I want.

Click on my website, http://www.heritagemakers.com/ to join the Heritage Makers family and have your own FREE studio to create projects to protect your family's heritage today! It cost nothing to sign on ... it cost nothing to begin a project and if you contact me to buy a credit for a project the company will give you a FREE month of Premier Art ... while you can make some fantastic projects using the Basic Art which is always free, Premier is full of over 40,000 pieces of art to fill your every creative digital storybooking need.

So easy a 7 year old can do it!!

2009-10-17T19:06:00.000-07:00

So I have my 6 grandsons over this weekend and we are doing some Halloween projects. Between making candied apples and baking cookies and teaching the 7 & 4 year olds how to eat pomegranates we made these Halloween cards for their parents. Heritage Makers is so easy the 7 year old, Jakeb, did this one all by himself ... just a bit of guidance showing him what to do ... he picked out the art and dragged and dropped, positioned, flipped ... he had a ball making this card for his parents for Halloween. He chose not to put pictures of he and his sister and brother on it ... just scary stuff ... typical 7 year old boy for you!!!! But impressive I must say. He used Premier art for his project.

As you can see all 4 sides of the greeting cards are fully customizable ... and they come with envelopes, of coarse!!!

These pictures are of the front/back and inside of each card.

Christopher, the 4 year old, helped me create this one from he and his little brother for mom and dad. His attention span was quite a bit shorter ... he would come over and quickly choose a design then go play for a while and come back when it was time to pick something else. It took us less than an hour to do both cards! Imagine doing your holiday cards like that ... personalize with your family's photos and write what you want using art of your choice and creating them in a very short time ... then with a click have them all done at once to send out to your holiday card list ... you can even let Heritage Makers do the addressing and mailing for you!!!!!

We created this card using Basic art!!!

2009-10-15T08:32:00.000-07:00

The new catalogues are here!!!!

82 pages of project ideas ... beautiful product descriptions ... helpful hints and more!

There are pages of beautiful product listings ...

A section on about the studio ...

Then page after page of some of the templates Heritage Makers has to offer.

The magazine quality catalogues are available to purchase or free to clients with a $50.00 order.

Contact me today on how you can begin creating Heritage for your family today!!!

Christopher was at the house today when the first deck of cards I made of my family arrived. He went through each card ... one by one ... laughing at each one!

I expanded BEC!!

2009-10-01T08:06:00.000-07:00

I am finding that the hardest part of the errand and concierge business is getting the word out about it! My first thoughts were that I would stay close and be able to find clients within a close proximity to my home but am finding that the need to expand to other areas has arrived! Initially the idea of going to the surrounding metro cities did not seem a necessity, but it seems the need is not in our smaller cities closer to home. Having two large metro cities within 30 minutes of my home makes it feasible to expand my services to those areas. So a few weeks ago I decided to make the changes on my website: http://www.beaconanderrandconcierge.com/ to reflect that we serve the Hampton Roads area.

Then to further help with publicity, I looked into and joined the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce. Within 4 business days of joining the chamber, I received a call from a company doing a calendar for Va Beach emergency services asking if I would like to include Beacon Errand And Concierge in an ad on this calendar. We decided (my hubby and I) that I would have to spend some money to make money, I am taking the plunge and submitting an ad for this calendar. Having no overhead,the only expense I have is in advertising, so it makes sense to invest in getting the word out.

Things are moving slower than I had hoped for BEC, but with some publicity and now with being a member of the Chamber of Commerce, my hope is that that changes very soon! In the 25 years of daycare I was always able to get the word out and positions were quickly filled, word of mouth spread like wildfire and the need was there, so this is my first experience with having to do some real work at advertising. I hope I am going in the right direction, only time will tell I guess, but that's part of this new venture I've undertaken ... new things ... new challenges!!

NEW WEBSITE IS UP AND RUNNING!!!!

2009-09-28T08:36:00.000-07:00

First Digi-Crop a Success!!!

2009-09-27T17:04:00.000-07:00

CHECK OUT A PAGE FROM MY 5X5 STORYBOOK I JUST PUBLISHED .. CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT !!!!!!

Had my first Digi-Crop today and had 9 people here!! Okay, so two were grandsons just chillin with us for a bit and one was my husband .. but we had fun!! Had some light refreshments .. can I say roast beef and turkey roll-ups are the bomb!!!

I had two new people here through our Scrapless in Portsmouth Meetup group. They were able to get some information on Heritage Makers the company and the products. I enjoyed meeting both of them and hope to have many more opportunities to get togehter with them as we gather to discuss digital storybooking.

My mom was able to get some ideas together about a Family Tree Storybook she wants to work on. I think this prompted her to go home and get those pictures together so we can start working on her project! A friend from church has already finished one project and was able to begin work on another one and got some of her questions answered about the studio. My daughter activated her account, started and FINISHED a project all in one session!!! All-in-all the digi-crop was a huge success in my eyes ... I had fun and that's what counts!!

I have scheduled our next Digi-crop for October 11th and can't wait to get some of my projects in before then so I can share them with the others.

Can I just say ... I LOVE HERITAGE MAKERS!!!!!!

I LOVE MY JOBS!!!!

2009-09-25T08:08:00.001-07:00

That is something you do not hear very often ... but I have to say I REALLY LOVE my jobs!!! Oh, and not just one, but two!! I know they are new, but already I can say that I am feeling incredibly rewarded in working the businesses.

Beacon Errand and Concierge awards me the opportunity to help others ... something I think I was meant to do!! I love going to my neighbor's house and letting their dogs out while they are at work, I love running to the grocery store for the mother of two that is just too busy at her job to pick up what she needs for dinner and I love running by the dry cleaner to pick up the laundry for a couple that is leaving for a trip and doesn't have time to get to the cleaners. I feel empowered when I'm helping others and turning that into a business is an awesome thing!! I named the company Beacon Errand and Concierge with the motto ... let us be the light to your personal lifestyle management needs ... and that's exactly how I feel about it. As a Christian, I feel a blessing from being able to help others which is one of the reasons I had an in-home daycare for over 25 years ... I love children and I love helping others! With BEC I also am rewarded by being able to provide help to others!

Heritage Makers is equally rewarding for me! In a bit of a different way. Heritage is something very important to me for many reasons, but the most important one is that our heritage is something that will fade or be forgotten if we do not preserve it. I lost my father when I was 10 years old and without the stories and photos being put into a life lasting product that my children and their children can see, the heritage of my father would be lost! My father was a pretty important man in our area as an athlete and we have boxes and boxes of photos, newspaper articles, etc about him and his performances, his life, his legacy. But my children and my grandchildren do not really know him, not like I did, not like he should be remembered. But that will change when his "Heritage", his legacy is put into a storybook! So that for one reason is why I became a Heritage Maker consultant! So I can help other families put their stories, their family's heritage into storybooks so their children and their grandchildren will know about the heroes in their family! My hero was my father and I do not want him to be forgotten!! So I love my job with Heritage Makers!! I love being able to share my story and to help others preserve theirs.

And right now is such an exciting time in the life of Heritage Makers!! We have just introduced some fantastic new products, are unveiling a brand new "studio" October 1st and have some awesome hostess rewards coming up for October!! One great thing about HM too is that you can hold a workshop ONLINE!!! So if someone wants the rewards of earning products by hosting a Workshop, but does not really want to have one in their home ... we can have an online workshop!!! It's as easy as setting a date with me, emailing (and I will do that for you!) friends, family, co-workers and neighbors with the date and link, then we all sit down at our computers in our pj's and watch the workshop right at home!!! So cool!!!! We do NOT even have to live close to one another to do an online workshop!!!

Another wonderful, exciting thing about Heritage Makers is the possibilities offered to anyone wanting to start their own home-based business. You can run your business as a hobby, as a part time job or if you like, do as I'm doing, and run it as a full time business!! It's totally up to you!

But, to finish my thought, let me say again .....

I LOVE MY JOBS!!!!!!!

Nanny Goes Digital Sprang Into Action

2009-09-21T19:17:00.000-07:00

In search of income earning venues the thought occurred to me that in home party sales might be something I'd like to do. I began looking into companies that offered things that interested me. I soon discovered this company called Heritage Makers ... and quickly fell in love! They have products that are absolutely wonderful!!! I couldn't wait to join the team! The opportunity to take all my photos and turn them into works of art in the form of storybooks, playing cards, calendars, spiral books, greeting cards, invitations, posters, scrapbook pages and lots more is just amazing!! I found the quality to be outstanding and as soon as I finish a project and publish it it's at my front door in less than 2 weeks!!! It's fun, easy, quick and rewarding. You are able to work on your project right from your computer using their website at your convenience. The art work is out of this world!!! What could be better than preserving your family's heritage through storybooks. A storybook celebrating the birth of a baby, a cornerstone book telling the story of our children's grandparents, a board book for a little one to have all of their own all about them, a bragbook for grandma to carry in her purse ... or what would be more fun than playing a card game with a deck of cards that are full of our family photos??? It is amazing ... it is fun ... it is fabulous ... it is our heritage and preserving it is for keeps!!!

So Nanny Goes Digital sprang into action as I created the name to fit my new motto ... I, Nanny, am going digital and finally am going to get all my pictures in books I can share with my family and friends. I ordered my kit, started working on some storybooks of my own and started scheduling my first workshops. Rewarding is not strong enough a word to describe how I feel about being a Personal Publishing Consultant for Heritage Makers. I am thrilled to be part of the team and to have the opportunity to share with others these high quality products that will preserve the heritage of families for years to come.

Beacon Errand And Concierge Was Born

2009-09-14T19:19:00.000-07:00

Why did I choose an errand and concierge business, you might ask? I guess the answer to that question is that I have always found joy in serving others! Satisfied in being a stay-at-home mom I didn't miss having a career out of the home, but I did want to stay busy and found much joy in volunteering. I have for over 30 years worked in different capacities in our church and have served in our children's PTA, and worked with our local Relay For Life/American Cancer Society program. In my daycare business I always felt it was a worthwhile career in that it provided a service to others and in keeping with that love I searched the Internet and my heart for a service oriented business. When I came across some information on errand and concierge businesses it just fit! All the years I worked as a daycare provider, day after day I would hear the parents complain of all the things they had to do and did not know how they were going to accomplish all the tasks before them. Many days rushed parents would try to stop by the grocery store before picking up the children in an attempt to grab a few items for dinner. Beacon Errand and Concierge was born!!
The next days and weeks were spent researching, organizing, putting together a business plan, obtaining a business license, bonding and liability insurance. I then began promoting and advertising. Most of my advertising has been getting the word out to friends and family, getting brochures and business cards out to businesses, building and designing a website and talking to people about creative ways to advertise. With little money to invest, the publicity has been hard, but patience is winning out as I rely on word of mouth and hold on to the confidence that the business will grow and clients will come in. I have had the pleasure of providing service to three clients and have more jobs on the calendar.
To anyone wanting to step out in faith and start a new career or launch your own business I say go for it. But first be certain you have the faith to hang in there. Know when to push and when to fold. One thing I do not recommend is to leave one job or stop one business to begin another, in my opinion never a good idea, but particularly today in the economy in which we live! With me, having the opportunity two years in a row to make a career change I felt I just had to take the plunge and one thing I knew for certain was that I did not want to work just to have a job ... I wanted to work because I love my job! I don't know how things will pan out, I don't know how I will feel in a year, but I do know that I love providing service for others, I love helping make other people's lives a bit easier .. and why not make a career out of making other's lives happier and easier ... it's just seems like a good fit!!

What Began This Change?

2009-09-09T12:51:00.000-07:00

As I said, for over 25 years I provided daycare services in my home and loved every minute of it! Well almost every minute if the truth be told. Now mind you, I loved most all of the children and had some really great parent's as clients ... what you must understand is that it is a very isolating career. You are in the same house in which you live for some days as much as 12 hours with the excursion of the day being the walk down the driveway to the mailbox!! But I am a very patient and pretty loving person, so it was not that hard, after all, I managed for 25 years!!
June 11, 2008, I had gastric by-pass surgery and in 10 month's time lost over 160 pounds. I was always a pretty active person staying involved in volunteering at church and with Relay For Life and stayed on the go ... but after loosing the weight, I found it harder and harder being cooped up in the house day after day ... I wanted to get out and about. I made the career choice last summer to begin watching only children of school teacher's giving me the same breaks my grandchildren had including summer's off thinking that would help with the feeling of confinement. This summer I had the opportunity to make some changes and get out of the daycare business completely ... so I did!
The biggest challenge was deciding what I wanted to do. I read through the classified adds, searched the Internet but could not find anything that fit my bio ... a 54 year old female with no experience or education other than providing babysitting services. So I had to think out of the box. And that's exactly what I have done!!
Now I'm not saying it has been easy making these changes. There already have been challenges and I'm only a couple of months in it, but I am happy to be embarking on a new part of my life as I get my not one ... but two businesses up and running.
I encourage anyone thinking about starting a new career, or a new business to take the plunge! I would not recommend quiting your job to start up a new one unless you have the funds to support yourself in the interim ... but the joys I have received so far and it's early in the process are more than I could have imagined!
In the days/weeks/months to come I hope to share my challenges, what I learn along the way, my successes and my fears as I walk this road to the new me, the new life the new career.
