Frequently Asked Questions:
Demonstrator 101

Q: What are the minimum sales requirements?
A: You only have to submit $300 in sales per quarter. That is less than an average Stampin’ Up! workshop. Also, you can submit your sales in any increment you wish & still get your discount and commission.

Q: What if I only want to do this as a hobby? Do I still have to have workshops?
A: Absolutely not!! Stampin’ Up! supports the hobby demonstrator just as well as the career demonstrator. You can put in your own order or collect orders from family and friends to equal the $300 a quarter minimum.

Q: Can I be my own Hostess?
A: Yes, you can be your own hostess any time you want. You can invite your family and friends into your home for a workshop. You would be the hostess, receiving the Hostess benefits, and you would also be the demonstrator receiving your instant income and commission.

Q: How much does it cost to get started as a Demonstrator?
A: The Standard Starter Kit is only $199 plus tax (shipping is free!). It includes everything you will need to get your business up and running, including stamp sets, ink, paper, catalogs, order forms, training video, etc. ($360 value).

Q: What if I decide that I don’t like it once I’ve started? Will I be penalized if I quit or is there a certain time frame I have to be a demonstrator?
A: You can stop anytime you choose. You simply just stop putting in your minimum sales. Stampin’ Up! will not notify you at all with any concerns. But I guarantee you once you get started you won’t want to stop!!

A: Stampin’ Up! offers so many benefits and incentives to demonstrators…here are a few:

Q: Do people really make money at this?
A: YES!! There are many demonstrators who make $5,000, $10,000 or even $15,000 plus amonth. Also, every year there are cash awards given at Convention for group and individual accomplishments.

Q: Do I have to recruit other demonstrators?
A: Of course not!! This is a multilevel marketing company and we are paid a commission on our downline but this is not a requirement. It is a perk, though!

Q: How much support can I expect from my Upline?
A: You can expect to receive full training from me. Including business tips, ideas, stamping techniques, and ongoing support. I have monthly group meetings where we all share ideas, swap cards, and just enjoy each other’s company. I will be your biggest cheerleader for whatever goals you want to achieve with Stampin’ Up!

Q: Where will I get my ideas for my workshops?
A: Stampin’ Up! has many resources for demonstrators. The catalog, the SU! website, the monthly Stampin’ Success magazine, the Quarterly On-Stage publication, training videos and Stampin’ Discuss. It is OK to copy your projects from these sources and use them at your workshops. You do not have to think of everything by yourself. I wouldn’t be where I am today if I had not borrowed and shared ideas every once in a while!

Q: Are there any Stampin’ Up! events that I can attend as a new demonstrator?
A: Yes, almost all of them! Every year Stampin’ UP! has it’s annual Convention. It is usually in Salt Lake City, Utah and is 4 days long. This is absolutely the best event ever!! Can you imagine 5 to 6 thousand crazy stampers getting together to share ideas and stamp? It is wild and SO worth it!! There are also Regional Seminars throughout the U.S. and Canada that are announced every year at Convention.
Leadership training is a fabulous event for those at Supervisor level and above. If you want to achieve greatness with Stampin’ UP! then this is the event for you.

Q: Do you really love what you do?
A: I absolutely LOVE what I do and I know you will too.  I couldn’t imagine not being a demonstrator.
