SYSTEM UPDATE
Thursday, Feb. 9, from 5-9am CT

This Thursday, Feb. 9, the website will be closed for maintenance from 5-9am CT. As we have shared, the team has continued working on solutions to resolve the site issues that occur during very high-traffic periods, and during this timeframe will be transitioning to a cloud-based scalable hosting solution. 

The Queue-it system will still be utilized for at least the next few launches to ensure site visitors and shoppers have a good experience. 

As is expected after big system updates, there may be a few bugs to address, so if you see anything out of the ordinary we welcome that information and ask that you email Customer Service: CustomerService@CreativeMemories.com. Especially helpful when you include the type of device you are using, browser and a screenshot.

ADDITION TO “ADVISOR EVENT” SEARCH FEATURE

Exciting news — we have added “Start Time” to the Advisor Events entry form, so you can now include that when submitting events! It will be helpful for potential attendees to see, and will provide clarity when you have overlapping events at the same location (e.g., a recurring crop that starts at 10am and a new Beginner Class at 2pm). 

If you have an already-submitted event or events and would like to add a start time, please email CMEvents@CreativeMemories.com with the event details and the team can get that updated for you. (Please allow several business days for the update(s) to be made.)

TOP GROUP & PERSONAL SALES

Congratulations to each of you who had a terrific personal week last week and to each of you who inspired your teams to do the same!
