I'm resending the information about joining Stampin' Up! I sent out at the beginning of May.  This offer ends on FRIDAY.  If you are thinking about taking advantage of this May signing up incentive, I don't want you to miss out. 

If you sign up for the joining kit in May, you'll get all five new In Color ink pads, a pack of In Color Designer Series Paper, a pack of Assorted In Color card stock and all five In Color Stampin' Write Markers for FREE!   All of these products add up to $82! 

There are many different reasons for joining Stampin' Up!  They range from wanting the deal of the joining kit, wanting the 20-25% discount on future orders, wanting to share your love of paper crafting with others to wanting to turn your love of this hobby into a business (small to big business).

Join for the reason that works for you!

I would say at least 80% of people joined Stampin' Up! because they wanted a discount on products they already love.  Very few join to be a leader or create a business.  Some decide to go in the teaching classes/leader/business direction after some time and some remain hobbyists.  

I can help you be whatever kind of demonstrator you wish to be.

List of Demonstrator benefits:

• 20-25% discount on all products
• 20-25% income from any order placed with you

Be YOU!

You have flexibility in being the type of Demonstrator you wish. There are no rules on how to be a Demonstrator.  No one Demonstrator does it the exactly same way.  Nor should you.  Your biggest asset is YOU and no one can do you better than you.  

• Have friends over to stamp together
• Teach a class at home, after school program, at your senior center, girl scout programs, through your town recreation, at scrapbooking events, at your church......
• Tell people you have Stampin' Up! catalogs that they can order from
• Card Ministries
• Sell your cards.  From your home, store, farmer's market, craft fair, Etsy (anytime you sell a card, you should follow Stampin' Up!'s Angel Policy)
• Host a workshop/party (in person or in a Facebook party)
• Create a monthly Stamp Club
• Create stamping videos and post them to YouTube
• Send out Newsletters and emails 
• Or any other way.  Go at your own pace to fit your lifestyle.

Keep in mind that when you join with me, you'll have access to me and I can (& will love to) help you with any of the above.

Doing What You Love

One of the best things about being a Stampin' Up Demonstrator is that I get to have a business doing what I love.

There aren't a lot of businesses or jobs you can say that about. I consider myself very fortunate that I can spend quality time not only working on improving my own paper crafting skills, but passing that knowledge on to others, as well. It's very fulfilling.

If you'd like a business doing what YOU love, I would encourage you to learn more about joining me and become a Stampin' Up Demonstrator yourself.

It's easy to get started and if you'd like to learn more, let's schedule a phone call. I would be happy to chat with you about any of your questions or concerns. 

Or, if you are ready to start, you can join here.

Common Questions

What do I need to do after I join?  How do I stay active?

• To remain an active Demonstrator, you will need to meet quarterly sales minimums of $300.  This amount can be from your purchases, someone who orders from you, or a combination of the two.
• If you join in May, your first quarter won't begin until the following quarter (July 1).  This means you'll have until September 30 to meet your first quarterly minimum of $300.
• There is always a pending month after the quarter closes in case you do not meet the minimum for one quarter.
• If you don't meet the minimum during a quarter or pending month, then your status will become dropped.  There are no penalties and you don't have to send any product back.  

What happens if I don't meet the minimums?

• If you don't meet the quarterly minimums, you'll have an extra pending month to try to make up the difference.
• If you don't meet the minimums after the pending month, you'll become dropped and no longer be a demonstrator.
• There are no penalties and no need to send anything back.

How can I increase the 20% discount (income) to 25%?

• Once your sales reach the $1800 mark, your discount & income will increase to 25%.  Everyone who joins Stampin' Up! begins at the Bronze level.  This percentage increase will also promote you to the Bronze Elite level. 
• You also have the option of earning "volume rebates".  If you sell/purchase $600 in one month, then you will earn 4% of the total sales amount for that month.
• There are other ways of earning more that I would be happy to talk with you about if you are interested (I just don't want to give information overload here).

Why join now?

Quote "The best time to start was yesterday. The next best time is now". - Unknown

Anytime is a great time to join.  But now is a great time because Stampin' Up! has the In Color Product incentive.

The regular joining/starter kit is $99 & includes:

• $125 of products (you choose anything you want)
• Free shipping (valued at $17)
• a complimentary Paper Pumpkin Kit (valued at $22)
• a box of catalogs to share

During May, your joining/starter kit includes the above PLUS you choose one of the two options:

• $82 worth of new In Color Products (5 ink pads, a pack of In Color Designer Series Paper, a pack of Assorted In Color card stock & all 5 In Color Stampin' Write Markers)

Phew!  That's a lot of information and hopefully it was helpful and got you thinking about the MANY benefits of joining Stampin' Up! vs. being a customer.  I know you already love the products, the color coordination and the high quality.

Again, I welcome your questions, concerns and excitement!  Please send them my way and if you would like to have a phone chat, let's do it.  

If you are ready to join now, then YAY!

I have been a Demonstrator for 17 years and it has changed for me over those years to fit my family's schedule, lifestyle and my evolving goals.  Being a Demonstrator is definitely flexible & provides so many opportunities for creative, personal and business growth (if that's what you want).  It is truly something I love doing and I look forward to many more years of being your Demonstrator (or maybe even team leader, if you decide to join too - I hope you do 😊).
