…sometimes just can’t stay in Vegas!
I have returned from my forth Forever LIVE – our annual convention where we as Forever Ambassadors along with Club Members, customers and home office staff gather each year for a time of connection, training and celebration along with a lot of fun and laughter too.
I look forward to this trip each year and especially look forward to reconnecting with the friends that I have made through Forever.
I am also very thankful my sister has joined me each year and is the best travel buddy I could ask for, she has become friends with so many of these special people too and has her own friends she reconnects with each each year too. She is my constant cheerleader and ready to let me bound ideas off of her anytime.
With so many fun things shared and done while we were in Las Vegas, I thought it might be fun to include my top 10 list with you of things that I was excited to hear or do at Forever LIVE.
Elizabeth’s Top 10 List from Forever LIVE
10. Glen Meakem’s New Book – The Gift of Forever was shared as a pre-release for those attending LIVE. Glen is our CEO and founder and he along with his son have written the story of how he started Forever. They signed copied during the weekend as well. I have just started reading it and am excited to finish and share it with others. The full release will be coming later this fall.
9. Updates with Design & Print: Oh how I was so excited for a New Name – we now have a clearer name for our online Print application where you Design and Print, books, Wall Decor, Calendars, and more. There will also be a few other new products coming this fall. Watch for new the size for Wall Decor on Design and Print of 8×8 like we can already do with Artisan, there will be a new premium thicker paper for cards that is non-coated and an option to add gold foil inserts into your envelopes.
8. Audio is HERE – We now have all 4 options, Photos, Documents, Video and Audio capabilities in our Storage accounts. I am excited to have this full memory keeping option for so many friends, family and customers who have those special audio tapes of weddings, sermons, solos, even voice mails. The sound of someone’s voice can be so very special to us and is such a special part of our memory keeping solutions.
7. Our Referral Program has gotten better with a 60 day coupon for referral coupons. The greatest compliment you can give me is to refer a friend. I love that Forever’s Home Office helps me reward my customers, friends and family who help me share Forever with their friends and family. Now we have the opportunity to use those referral coupons a bit longer.
6. Beautiful Bellagio Fountain – Oh it was so very HOT the day we went downtown to see the strip but what a fun experience to see the fountain at the Bellagio hotel. We arrived just a few minutes before the next song was to begin so we found our spot and it was worth the wait. Here is a short video of our view of the fountain. This has been saved in my Forever account with my other trip photos and videos.
5. The company is Thriving & Growing – It is good to hear the update from Glen how we are on target with his goal to grow this year by 30% is sales over last year and we are on target to have over 42 Million photos uploaded this year in safe and secure storage accounts. We are meeting a need and reach new people each and every day.
4. Photo PRINTS are HERE – My excitement is climbing as we continue down this list. I have been waiting – not so patiently to have the ability to print from our Forever accounts again and now we can do it and it is even better than ever. We have the high archival quality we know with all of our products and we no longer have to download and export and re-upload to another vendor to order. I can print my photos for traditional scrapbooking or frames right from my Forever Account.
3. Stepping out of my Comfort Zone as a Mainstage Speaker – What an honor to be one of the ambassadors chosen to help lead this year as a speaker. Although I speak in front of groups fairly often with work this was a bit different and an opportunity to embrace my word of the year “GROW”. I worked with an amazing fellow ambassador and through preparation and practice what was a bit nerve wracking at first became a experience that built confidence for us both as we stood before a room full of friends who were eager to hear what we had to share.
2. p2p 10th Anniversary Birthday Bash Party in Texas – Travel is always fun and when you can pair that with work with your photos it is extra fun for me. I am excited to be joining a lot of great friends in Texas in the Spring for a weekend of digital scrapbooking fun. I am looking forward to working on my own projects and learning new tips and ideas too.
And to top off the whole list, my #1 item is
- Forever LIVE 2020 next year will be in Orlando, FL – I had a hunch that we were headed to Disney and have to say I am a bit excited. I have always been a Disney fan and even though I didn’t get to Disney World until my mid 30s I am excited to be headed back for this convention there on the property. I am hoping I can twist my family’s arms and have them join me for some fun on one end or the other too for some family time at the parks. I know that I will have a blast at Forever LIVE like we always do but I am also excited about the location and the bonus time we get to have there too. If you are interested in joining us for Forever LIVE in Orlando you can join as a customer, Club member or Ambassador.
Well that may not have been the Las Vegas lists you were expecting but those were the Top 10 things that excited me about our trip last week. Have you been traveling this summer? Where have you been? What have you enjoyed seeing and doing?
