FAQs
FAQ's About Becoming A Member of Stampin' Up!
What will I do as a demonstrator?
You will share your love of creating cards, gifts and/or scrapbook pages with family & friends. You can do this any way you chose such as through sharing one-on-one, in-home workshops, classes and/or other events.
Will I receive support and training?
By joining, you will become part of my team, TwINKle Belles, and I’ll provide you with all the help and support you need to achieve your personal goal! On top of that, Stampin’ Up! provides the following:
A 24/7 demonstrator website for demonstrator resources and online ordering
A full colour magazine (4 per year) with creative and business ideas just for demonstrators
Seasonal catalogs full of ideas
An 800# with knowledgeable and friendly Demonstrator Support agents
A beautiful and affordable company sponsored demonstrator business website you can set up in minutes
An achievable incentive program for income and awards if you choose to aspire to them.
How Do I Continue to Get the Discount?
To stay active as a demonstrator you will need to sell a minimum of $400 per quarter. Most team members find that this goal can be reached in one or two workshops per quarter. But if you don't want to do a workshop then you can submit your own purchases that will also count towards the quarterly amount.
Do people really make money at this?
YES!! Depending on how much time you want to put into “your” business, you can make whatever income you desire! It is totally up to you! Since customers pay you directly, you will keep 20% - 25% of each order placed at the time of their payment. You can also earn monthly volume rebates (4 - 13% of the total monthly sales).
Do I have to recruit other demonstrators?
Of course not!! Having a downline is not a requirement, it is a perk - we have the opportunity to earn a commission based on our downline’s sales and on top of that make a ton of great new friends through stamping!
What if I only want to do this as a hobby? Do I still have to do workshops?
Absolutely not!! Stampin’ Up! supports the hobby demonstrator just like the career demonstrator. You can put in your own order or collect orders from family & friends that equal $400 a quarter.
Do I have to stock product?
No. You will only order items when someone places an order and pays you in advance, so you won’t need to keep inventory of products.
What if I decided it's not for me once I've started? Will I be penalized if I quit?
Not at all! You simply stop placing orders and you will not be penalized! If you don’t meet the minimum requirement, you can return to being a customer—no penalties, no questions asked!
Can I be my own host?
Yes, you can be your own host anytime you want. Invite your family and friends into your home and have a workshop. You will be the host, receiving the Stampin' Rewards, as well as the demonstrator, receiving your instant income and commission.
Where do I get ideas from?
Stampin’ Up! has many resources for demonstrators, including the Idea Book & Catalogue, a great magazine, a fantastic Facebook page for demonstrators only, a wonderful video in the starter kit, and much more. It is more than OKAY to copy projects from these resources—that is what they are for! You don’t have to ever think of an original idea if you don’t want to.
Do I have to attend meetings?
That is entirely up to you. I do hold get together's. I find it nice to get together with others that share the same crafting passion and to share ideas with.
If you have further questions or would like more information, please ask! Remember, there is no commitment just for asking—what do you have to lose??
