Sneak Peek What's Launching Monday!
Advisors, it’s time to dive in: Our 2026 coastal collection is here, and it’s ready to make waves!
Head over to the By the Seashore preview page to explore all the seaside details you and your customers will love. You'll also want to scroll down to see exactly why this collection is a must-have for them — and for you.
The “Why” Behind By the Seashore
Why your customers will want it:
- Fresh take on a proven theme: A softer, adventure-forward nautical aesthetic than some of our previous coastal collections
- Year-round versatility: Works for beach, lake, cruise, patriotic and summer memories.
- Dimensional detail: The Embossed Scallop Shell Punch adds texture and depth; it gives that “I need this” piece they don’t already have
As an Advisor, your “why”:
- An easy workshop win: Nautical and coastal themes are approachable, versatile and fun to teach
- Naturally drives bundle buying: Designed to inspire “I’ll take the whole set” moments
- Timed for the season: Launches right as travel plans and summer crops pick up
- A proven performer: Coastal themes consistently resonate and sell
100 Bold Moves April Week 4 Challenge
We've reached the final week of April, and it's time for a challenge. This month, we've focused on hosting events that energize, and the final step in repeating that success is making sure you have plans to host again! At every event you hold, make sure you have another event in the next 4-6 weeks that customers can RSVP to!
It's important to engage them to save their spot while at your event because they are excited, in the moment and want to make sure they don't miss out. Once they go home, it's easy to fall back into habits and not prioritize attending again.
Week 4 Challenge: Book the “Yes”
- Rebook at least 1 future event
- Invite attendees before they leave
- Follow up within 48 hours
Not sure where to find Create the Best recordings? Here's a link to the last episode!
