So, what's in it for you?
The benefits and advantages are many and varied, but here is a list of some of the more tangible things:


The Discount:  You will receive an instant discount of 20% on all your catalogue purchases, this is referred to as "Instant Income"  And, depending on the level of your sales for each calendar month, you can earn up to an additional 13% commission as a payment into your nominated bank account after the end of the month,  This is called "Volume Rebate" 

The Online Resources: The Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator website is a fabulous resource for creative ideas, business tips and a place to connect with your fellow demonstrators.  There are design ideas, workshop resources and templates, business support and lots more. I run a quiet, private Facebook group for team chat and support and there are plenty of Facebook groups available for inspiration.

The Relationships:  Probably the most surprisingly wonderful aspect of joining the Stampin' Up! "family" is discovering a whole new world of like-minded people to create and laugh along with.  People I would never have met otherwise, fellow demonstrators and customers alike, have since become an important part of my life.  The StampInkPaper Inc team are a generous and supportive bunch, and we enjoy regular casual get togethers.  The culture of support and friendship extends beyond individual teams to all demonstrators. If you need help, or to borrow something, you can count on a fellow demo, every time!

The Income:  It is entirely possible to make your Stampin' Up! business produce real income.  Depending on the level of effort you put in, it can be anything from a way to subsidise your interest in stamping, to making your hobby pay for itself, to paying for family treats and far beyond.  Absolutely, given the value packed into the Starter Kit, there is nothing to lose!  While my children were young, I used it to contribute to my family’s income.  Now that I am a full-time secondary science teacher, I am able to enjoy bonus income,  doing something that I love and which gives me valuable relaxation time with the great friends I have made.

The Freebies:  In addition to the direct discount and volume rebate, there are lots of opportunities to earn free stamps and accessories.  When you host your own events as a demonstrator, YOU are the Hostess, and you're entitled to the usual Hostess Benefits - exclusive stamp sets and products from the Catalogues.  Demonstrators also have access to early product releases, and are able to earn regular product incentives throughout the year.  There are also regular promotions, and you still get your usual Demonstrator Discount off the reduced customer price!


Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the minimum sales amount required?
To remain active as a demonstrator you need to maintain sales of $440 per quarter (3 months). When you join as a Demonstrator, you have until the end of your first FULL quarter, so join during July to have until December 31st to meet your quota.  The $440 is calculated using catalogue prices, so you pay even less when you take your Demonstrator Discount into account.  If you sign up with the intention to be a hobby demonstrator, you will easily meet your minimum by making occasional sales to your stampin’ friends in addition to your own purchases.  If you wish to host or run workshops, one or two events per quarter is more than enough to maintain your active status.

Do I have to run workshops?

It is entirely up to you.  All the support and assistance to get started with workshops is available to you from both Stampin' Up! and myself as your upline.  However, if  you never want to present a workshop, then you never have to!  Workshops aren't nearly as scary as they might seem, and with a little practice and your natural enthusiasm for the products they will soon become second nature.  Workshops are also the easiest and best way to grow your customer base, but you are free to run your demonstratorship any way you like, within the terms of the Demonstrator Agreement.  Other options for making sales include hosting classes, crop days, market stalls etc.


What if I change my mind after I’ve signed up?
If your life circumstances change and you decide that you can't continue as a Demonstrator, then there are no penalties or costs involved and nothing to return. If you don’t meet your sales requirements for any given quarter, you have an extra month to make up the shortfall if you wish - a 'Pending' period. If you choose not to do anything, at the beginning of the next month you cease to be an active demonstrator, entering "Dropped" status. Should you wish to rejoin in the future, you do, however, need to purchase the Starter Kit again.
