The Most Surprising Benefit of Being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

Stampin' Up! Statment of the Heart

You might think the best benefit of being a Stampin’ Up! demo is getting 20% off all your purchases. Or you might think the best benefit is having so much fun while actually working. Both of these are great benefits but the most surprising benefit I have found in being a demonstrator is the wonderful friendships I have made with other demonstrators across the United States, even internationally, and with my customers.

This is a great opportunity to start your own paper crafting business and reap all the benefits of being your own boss. Since it is your business, you control how much time you put into it and how much profit you make. August is a good time to sign up as a demonstrator because they are having a special which ends Aug 31. When you sign up in August you can choose one of the five card kits offered in our catalogs as well as custom designing your starter kit which is only $99!  Click here for more information and/or give me a call so we can have a conversation on how owning your own business can meet your goals.

5 Reasons to Join My Team of Demonstrators

August Recruit Promotion

Have you wished you could earn extra money while working hours that fit around your family’s needs and perhaps your day job? Then consider these five reasons to join my team of independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators.

It’s Live!

2013-2014 Stampin' Up! CatalogCatalogToday is the first day we can order from the new 2013-2014 Stampin’ Up! catalog. Do you have your wish list in hand? What? You haven’t seen the new catalog yet? You would have it in your hands if you were a member of my team of demonstrators or you can email me your name, phone number, and best time to call you. I’d love to have a conversation with you about how I can send you the catalog at no cost to you. I will also be happy to have a conversation with you about how you can start your own business for only $99.95. Just contact me or check out more information here.

Time is running out!

Stampin' Up! Retirement Promotion

The time is running out to purchase those stamps and supplies that are retiring to make room for the new! Since Stampin’ Up! offices will be closed June 1st, they have graciously allowed orders for retiring product to be placed through June 3. Now is the time to snag that stamp set you have been debating about getting. Once it is retired, it will be very difficult to get it. Many of the accessories are also retiring and the supply of many of them has already been depleted. Go check out what is available and order before it is too late! The retiring product can be seen here.

Now, since the Stampin’ Up! offices will be closed June 1, they are allowing us to order from the new catalog beginning May 31. I have my list ready and I’ll be on the computer first thing on Friday May 31! Do you have your list ready? Oh…you don’t know what is in the new catalog because you don’t have one yet? Well, there are two ways to remedy that.

The first way is to join my team of demonstrators. You will be starting your own paper crafting business for only $99.95 and you will get a new catalog along with stamps and supplies of your choosing. If you join by May 30, you will get an additional $30 worth of product to choose! Check out the details here and then sign up. I will be delighted to support you in your new business.

The other way to get the new catalog is by emailing me with your name, phone number and best time to call you. I’d love to have a conversation with you about how I can send you the catalog for free. My email is sue@soggystamper.com.

Join the Fun

Have you set a New Year's goal to take charge of your finances instead of them dictating to you?

Well…now is a good time to do so! You can start earning money with your own paper crafting business this month by joining my team of Stampin' Up! demonstrators. You don't have to be particularly crafty because there are lots of people willing to give you creative ideas. You don't have to have lots of money to start your business as our starter kit is just $99. You don't have to know how to hold a workshop or advertise or run a business before you start. I'll teach you what I know and direct you to additional sources of guidance. But…to earn money in this business, you do have to be able to discipline yourself to consistently work the business for whatever specific amount of time each week you choose to work and to carefully monitor your business expenses. Sale-a-bration is a good time to start your business because customers traditionally purchase more to get the free product in the Sale-a-bration brochure.

Joining my team is easy. Click here to learn more about the opportunity. Click 'Join Now" to join. You will need to have your credit card handy. Give me a call or email me if you have questions. I'm looking forward to working with you!

Until next time…blessings,

The Fine Print

 
  • Customer, demonstrator, workshop, and online orders from my Online Store qualify for this promotion.
    • While in the past, online orders have not counted toward hostess promotions, we're excited to unveil a trial program that will allow your online customers to take advantage of our current hostess promotion with a qualifying order.
    • While we want to encourage rewarding hostesses who host parties, we will be testing this option as away to reward customers who purchase from your Online Store.
    • Customers will be prompted to select their qualifying ink collection with a $450 order. They will be required to use one of the following item numbers in order to select their free ink collection. 
      • 132652 Brights Classic Stampin' Pads

But really, isn't one free collection of ink incentive enough? If you really want to get two free collections, consider joining my team of business builders during this promotion. You will get a free collection when you join Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator. Contact me to further discuss how a paper crafting business would benefit you and fit into your goals.
  • Hostesses can still use their additional hostess dollars to get free products from the current annual and seasonal catalogs.

Contact me to schedule a workshop while I still have spaces left in my calendar. For those of you living off Prince of Wales Island, consider holding a catalog party. Invite a few friends over, spend time looking through the catalog, collect the orders, and have light refreshments. I can send some sample cards for you to share with your friends as well. After the party, mail the orders to me along with payment. I will send you order blanks and a few catalogs. So contact me if you would like to host a catalog party. This is a great chance to get the new stamp pads or increase your collection of ink colors.

Until next time…blessings and happy crafting,

My Digital Studio Monday – Color Me Creative

MDS Monday 7-23-12-001 copy
Supplies: MDS2 (download available Aug 1) Color Me Creative stamp brush set (from Color Me Creative Convention DVD)

At the Stampin' Up! convention this past week, I took the 'I Am Digital' optional class Wednesday night. In the process of installing a 30-day trial DVD of MDS2 and the Color Me Creative Convention DVD, I lost access to my regular MDS software. So…I had to use the new MDS2 to create this scrapbook page…oh darn!!! :o) I love the Color Me Creative stamp brush set because of the quotes. The big photo is one of the photos used as wallpaper on the big screens in the main stage room. I love the feelings exhibited in those photos. The smaller photos give you a small glimpse of some of the wonderful projects displayed for our inspiration.

I had a wonderful time at convention and would love to have you come with me next year. How can you do that, you ask? By joining my team of Stampin' Up! business owners. If you have been frustrated by having your work hours set for you or by the struggle of balancing work with family responsibilities, owning your own business may be the answer. The feeling of being your own boss and being able to set your own hours and goals is quite powerful and freeing. Contact me so we can discuss how your needs can be met with a Stampin' Up! business.

Until next time…blessings,

Holy Smokes!!!

Stampin' Up! has really upped the ante! Sign up to be a demonstrator during the month of October and you will be given a FREE Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine! Check out this video.

 

How exciting is that?!! I would love to have you join my team of Stampin' Up! demonstrators.

I enjoy being a demonstrator so much because it feeds my creative needs and I get to spend time with stampers who are the best friends, even those I haven't met yet.The really cool thing is that Stampin' Up! lets you determine the level of business activity you want.This really appeals to me because I work full time at school so don't have tons of time to work on my business. However, during the summer, I can devote more time to my business. When I retire, I plan to make this business my only job. What a wonderful job it will be….stamping all the time.

Contact me so I can help you decide how this is the business for you! If you already know you want to be a demonstrator and can't wait to get your starter kit, you can sign up through my online store by clicking here.

Until the next time…blessings,
Sue
