Questions about becoming a Demonstrator........
Good morning. I have been fielding a lot of questions about becoming a Demonstrator, so I thought there might be others of you out there that had similar questions. Let's go through a few of them.
1. What are the minimum sales requirements?
You only need to submit $300 in sales per quarter or $100 per month less your 20% discount. Submit your sales in any increment you wish and still receive your 20 % discount and commission.
2. What if I want to do this as a hobby and not necessarily a business?
Stampin’ Up! supports all demonstrators, no matter their goals or the level at which they choose to run their business. If you choose not to hold workshops, you can simply place your own orders and/or collect orders from family and
friends to equal the $300 quarterly sales minimum.
3. Can I be my own hostess?
Yes, you can be your own hostess anytime you want. Invite your family and friends into your home and have a workshop, or place your own order equalling $150 or higher to receive these benefits.
4. Explain to me how the 30% Discount on my first order works?
Once you sign up, you have 45 days from that date to place a $150 or higher order and receive a 30% discount on the entire order (plus hostess benefits). If you need a small amount of supplies before you are ready to place this order, you can order then without forfieting this Special Offer.
5. How much does it cost to get started as a demonstrator?
The Starter Kit is only normally $175.00, and it includes everything you will need to get your business up and running, including stamp sets, ink, paper, catalogs, order forms, a training video, and more ($310 value). You have your choice between the Standar Starter Kit or the My Digital Studio Starter Kit, and if you’re interested in scrapbooking, you can also select the Stampin’ Memories Add-On for an additional $50 ($80 value).
UNTIL NOVEMBER 30th, both of these kits are available for $87.50!

6. How can I make money as a demonstrator?
You can earn money in three ways: instant income (20 percent of each order), monthly volume rebates (5–20 percent of total sales), and monthly downline override commissions (2–6 percent of your recruits’ sales).
7. Do I have to recruit other demonstrators?
No, if you were to recruit demonstrators, you would be paid override commissions on your downline’s sales, but this is a perk, not a requirement.
8. Where will I get project ideas for my workshops? What kind of training can I expect?
Stampin’ Up! provides dozens of training resources filled with project ideas and tips to help you run every aspect of your business, including a monthly publication called Stampin’ Success, Demonstrator Support agents, a demonstrator only web site, hundreds of samples, annual and seasonal catalogs, a training DVD, the Demonstrator Manual, and a Product Guide.
AND - if you join under me, you become a member of my group. We have special Demonstrator only meetings in which I help your with your business, share new techniques, and where you'll get great ideas from other demonstrators to further assist you in your stamping craft - or growing your business.
9. What if I decide that I don’t like it once I’ve started? Will I be penalized if I quit?
You may choose to stop at anytime, and you will not be penalized. You simply stop placing orders. No - you do not have to return your starter kit - it is yours to keep and enjoy!
Additional Perks:
- When the new Idea Book and Catalog comes out, you receive a FREE copy, AND you are allowed to BUY, one Level 2 and one Level 3 Hostess Set.
- You get ALL the mini catalogs well before customers do and you get a pre-order one month in advance of the catalog going live. (this is an excellent opportunity to get your classes designed and ready for when the catalog goes live - if you decide to be a Business Builder Demonstrator - or as a Hobby Demonstrator - you get to create with the stamp sets before anyone else even gets to buy them).
- Periodically Stampin Up will offer additional discounts and incentives to their demonstrators such as discounts on bundled packages, discounts on new stamp releases, etc.
- You Get to attend Local Regional Events in your area.
- You get to attend CONVENTION
- You get almost daily updates on the Demonstrator Homepage of Everything going on in the Stampin Up world.
