I became a demonstrator because I loved the products! No one I knew was selling it anymore so I decided to join. I called around to demonstrators in nearby towns to see who would be the best to join under. I left a few messages, spoke to one gal, and signed under her. I've never spoken to her since. That was March 2012.
It was a struggle at first. I didn't really have a direction and my mother's health was failing. I became my own best customer to meet my minimums. That fall I decided to invite a few friends to a class. Since then I've offered classes as often as I could and have done vendor shows in the fall and spring when I can. I've built a nice business.
Recently I've been taking classes on how to be a more knowledgeable Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I've learned so much! (Thank you, Janet!) Some of the things that I have learned are:
*Any time is a good time to join Stampin' Up!, but there are some GREAT times. For example, if you join now, you have until the end of March to meet your minimum ($300) for your first full quarter (Jan-March). That's over 5 months! Everything you buy or sell until the end of March counts toward that $300 including Paper Pumpkin subscriptions.
*Once you join, there is no obligation to stay a demonstrator. There are many opportunities, but no obligation.
*When you join, you get $125 worth of product that you pick for $99 with free shipping.
*You also begin to earn Flex Points. If you earn enough Flex Points from Oct 1 - Sept 30,2017 , you could earn a trip for 2 on an Alaskan Cruise. There are many other things you can earn. (This year I earned $80+ worth of free product that I choose whenever I want.) There are extra ways to earn Flex Points for new demos.
*You start earning 20% off all your purchases.
*You start earning 20% from all your customers purchases too. In time, you could earn more.
*You can earn Stampin' Rewards just like your customers.
*You get to preview and order a month before your customers from new catalogs.
*If you join someone's team, there is help and many perks to getting started.
*Both you and the person whose team you joined get extra perks as well.
*MOST people who join do so as Happy Shoppers and don't really intend to make it a business. It is always an option, but never necessary.
I'm looking for Happy Shoppers to join my team. I'd love to share this experience with you! Maybe even a cruise to Alaska! Contact me today or click on my Stampin' Up! page tab at the top and click Join The Fun!
