Scrap Biz ?

1. ScrapBiz? What is it?

2. Let’s start with what it’s NOT… • Not a multi-level direct sales company • Not a wholesale buying group • Not a broker or sales rep company • We do not resell products to our members • Our members are not “discount retailers”.

3. So, what IS ScrapBiz? • Where Business and Creativity Connect! • A business incubator for home-based Scrapbook businesses of all sorts • We build relationships with wholesalers for members and show them how to order direct • We provide solid business advice and education

4. We are also: • Committed to teaching members how to set up a business based on sound business practices • Interested in partnering with wholesalers of scrapbook, stamping and paper arts products • Interested acquiring benefits for our members that help them run their businesses • Committed to the growth and health of the whole Scrapbook industry

5. How Big is ScrapBiz? • Over 300 members in the U.S., Canada and Australia • Average 10 new members each month • Each member buys (on average) $600 per month in products* THAT MEANS… *per member research 4/2003

8. The Values our Members Live By… • I will provide the best service possible to my customers and present myself in a professional manner • I will be a good “Retail Citizen” and seek to build my business in appropriate ways that will not intentionally harm the businesses of others –both inside and outside of ScrapBiz® • I will conduct my business in an ethical and honest manner and not misrepresent myself to wholesalers • I will abide by the policies and rules of each individual wholesaler and respect their wishes regarding the sale of their products. • I will have fun • I will respect the time of vendors and their customer service reps • I will continue to educate myself about new techniques to provide my customers with fresh ideas • I will not speak negatively of my fellow ScrapBiz® affiliates. • I will not disclose proprietary information from the ScrapBiz® message board including pricing, wholesaler contact info, etc.

9. Our Mission Statement... • Innovate – we seek to provide an environment for our members to reach their potential by encouraging them to try the untried and think outside of the box when it comes to developing products and services for their businesses. • Educate –we believe the biggest obstacle to success is the lack of business knowledge. We seek to provide a solid business foundation for our members and believe that they will achieve a consistent level of success not common in the scrapbook industry. • Liberate – we believe that many women possess the talent and desire to be home-based entrepreneurs. Traditionally, the only avenue to realizing this dream in the scrapbook industry has been through the multi-level direct sales companies. We seek to provide an innovative environment that will allow the true entrepreneur the freedom to build a business over which they have total control. The result is greater personal satisfaction and a greater chance at financial success.
