Nicole: Hi Theresa, I know that Close To My Heart has always been known for their stamps, but what other types of products does Close To My Heart offer to customers?
Theresa: Our My Acrylix™ System is definitely our most popular product, you’re right about that. It’s how Jeanette got started in all this. I think our catalog is really unique and cool, because it serves as a huge idea book in addition to showcasing our products. Another cool thing we offer is that we have these really beautiful papers and we have ink and markers that completely match them. We also have kits for scrapbooking now that are really cool. In fact, if it’s a scrapbook or rubber stamp item, Close To My Heart carries it!
Nicole: I have heard that Close To My Heart has changed a lot in the past few years, and that the products have changed and evolved, with new incentives offered and great offers for hostesses and consultants. Can you tell us a little more about that?
Theresa: Our My Acrylix™ System is unique to us. That’s our most fabulous product line of course. We introduced new Level Scrapbook kits a couple of years ago. They are so cool and they come with everything to make several pages and you can get the different levels depending on how advanced you are, or how much you want to put into that page. Our hostess program is truly unique, and I love being a consultant because of all the opportunities that are now available to me.
Nicole: Wow! They really have grown a lot. I’m impressed with all the terrific products. I hope our readers will take the time to check out these amazing products. So – how much does it cost to become a consultant with Close To My Heart?
Theresa: The start up kit costs $150. I know that seems like a lot but it is so full of great tools you can’t beat it.
