Have you ever thought about starting your own craft business? I always wanted to open my own scrapbook store (and still do). But, the initial start-up costs, inventory, and hours always scared me. However, I have found the perfect opportunity that allows me to offer everything my scrapbook store could without all of the overhead! I have become an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and I love it! I can make my own hours and set my own schedule. I don't have to have a closet full of inventory collecting dust.
I've scheduled an Opportuni-Tea Night where you can learn all about the benefits of becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. Click HERE to learn more about this fun-filled event!
There are LOTS of benefits you get to enjoy when you're a demonstrator...I'll name just a few:
- New friends! I've met so many wonderful, new friends in the last year that I get emotional every time I think about it. Stamping gives me an excuse to get together and visit with my friends every month.
- Free stamps! Every time I turn around it seems Stampin' Up! is giving me a free stamp set for one reason or another - it may be because I've met some sort of sales goal (which is easy to do), or I may have earned enough "points" to pick out free merchandise, or it may just be because Stampin' Up! decided to thank all of its demonstrators by sending them free stamps - they do this at least once a year it seems!
- 20-40% Off! As a demonstrator, all of my stamps and supplies are between 20% and 40% off! That's the ONLY reason I became a demonstrator. I learned about all of these other benefits after joining. Honestly, that's why most demonstrators signed up.
- Ideas, Catalogs, and Inspiration! As a demonstrator, you receive a complimentary copy of every catalog before anyone else. You also receive monthly and quarterly magazines packed full of ideas and inspiration. And, the demonstrator website provides daily card samples, templates, patterns, and ideas.
- Free Vacations! I haven't gotten to enjoy this benefit yet, but I know many demonstrators who have! Many of whom enjoyed this benefit their first year after signing up. In 2009, demonstrators who meet certain requirements will enjoy an all-expense-paid trip for themselves and a guest to Hawaii.
Stampin' Up! allows you to make your business opportunity whatever you want. Maybe you just love Stampin' Up! products so much, you want to be able to buy them at a discount! That's fine! We call those "hobby demonstrators" who are in it just for the discount. There are plenty of them out there! Stampin' Up! loves them just as much as their full-time career demonstrators.
You can choose to hold classes in your home or other location - or you can choose not to offer classes. The choice is yours.
You can choose to hold workshops in other people's homes (assuming they've invited you!) Or, you can decide that holding workshops isn't for you.
Maybe you just want to sell merchandise to your close friends and family - you can do that! No one will pressure you to do more than you want. No one will call you to see how many workshops you have booked. No one will ask why you sold nothing for an entire month or two. Well, maybe I'll call to see if you're okay - and not buried under a pile of rubber stamps!
There is absolutely NO obligation when you sign up. You simply purchase the Demonstrator Starter Kit which provides everything you need to start your business. Then you get to enjoy all of the benefits of every demonstrator out there! If and when you decide it's not for you, you simply stop! It's that easy! And, you can always sign up again down the road - I know people who've done that. What do you have to lose? Contact me today to learn more!
