Right now is a FANTASTIC time to join Stampin’ Up!
Read On to find out more…
You may have noticed that I don’t often post Stampin’ Up! joining offers. For me, it’s a personal decision. I don’t want to be one of those demonstrators who are forever trying to get others to “join their team”. It is my view if someone wants to join Stampin’ Up!, they will reach out to me.
Pushing Stampin’ Up! on everyone I meet really goes against my grain. Yes, Stampin’ Up! is one of the things I do, and I love it BUT I don’t ever what people to walk the other way from, because I’ve been one of those pushy demos (who I’m sure are perfectly lovely) who are pressuring you to join Stampin’ Up! or buy something. If you are going to avoid me in public, let’s make it for a great reason like… I look like a homeless person at Bunnings (gardening and DIY has that effect on me), or I’ve got bed hair at Woolworths or have spilled coffee all over my white shirt, or I’m wearing activewear in public.
Because I don’t like to be pushy, sometimes, I forget to share the great aspects of joining Stampin’ Up!
Every once in a while Stampin’ Up! offers a great extra bonus for new demonstrators to join this caring creative community and I feel I simply must share it with you (and risk appearing pushy).
This month’s Stampin’ Up! joining special is HOT!!! and October 4th-31st it’s 🔥🔥🔥
So, what if I told you that you could get $283AUD worth of your choice of any ANY Stampin’ Up! goodies from either the Annual or July-December Mini Catalogue and the online Stampin’ Up! store for just $169AUD with free shipping? That’s around a 40% discount on top quality, exclusive Stampin’ Up! products YOU get to choose.
That’s a great deal right? Who else do you know that has a storewide offer like that? You might come across a rare single coupon that you can use on about five things in a store.
So…what are the other benefits?
Well… not only are you getting, to quote my friend Meg “a smoking hot deal” on brand new Stampin’ Up! products, but there are also lots of other awesome benefits that come with being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.
Every demonstrator has different reasons and motivations. I am a little different in that I am in this business because I LOVE it, NOT because I am trying to ascend through all the ranks to be amongst the Top Global Demonstrators. Don’t get me wrong…benefits, advancements and other things are lovely and I am always thrilled when I achieve personal goals or advance in title. But they are not my primary motivation, they’re just the icing on the most delicious cake.
Perhaps it is best that I share from my experience are the best things that come from joining Stampin’ Up! So as not to overwhelm you, I’ll restrict it to my top five.
1 – Preview and Early Access to Stampin’ Up! Specials.
Just like any avid paper crafter, I LOVE new stuff FIRST! Getting product sneak peaks BEFORE the products are released public, allows me to start thinking about how I can use them. When you join Stampin’ Up! you are automatically sent updates. These updates include all the specials, new products, exciting announcements and often the opportunity to get your messy, inky fingers on the new stuff before anyone else.
It’s sorta like being a VIP and we all know how fun it is to be treated like a VIP! Such an awesome feeling!
2 – A Good Discount on Every Purchase
While I’m not a penny pincher, I am on a much, much tighter budget than I was five years ago. Like most people, I have to watch my discretionary spending.
I love saving money and I hate waste, so you will notice that over time, I’ve been sharing more ideas about how you can make your crafting supplies and budget stretch further. I want you to get your money’s worth out of every cent you’ve invested in your craft stash.
It delights me to share that when you join Stampin’ Up! you automatically and immediately get a full 20% discount on all products.
Yes this 20% off applies to your very first Demonstrator order and a discount applies to every order after that.It applies to EVERYTHING: papers, stamps, dies, inks, embellishments, adhesive. Even things on sale or in the clearance rack will be discounted further by 20%.
And, if you choose to advance through the sales tiers and recruit your own team of people to join Stampin’ Up! your discount increases.
Combine that 20% discount with any Stampin’ Rewards and shipping savings you get by ordering smartly and placing larger orders rather than lots of little ones, it’s a real win!
3 – You don’t need to maintain an inventory
A really important difference that Stampin’ Up! makes possible over so many other direct selling companies, and that is that you don’t have to maintain an inventory of products to sell. In fact, you aren’t ALLOWED to keep inventory other than adhesives and kits.
Stampin’ Up! makes it very clear that does NOT want people spending their hard-earned money on a whole heap of stock and not being able to recoup it. We’ve all seen those documentaries about people who have gone bankrupt because they were forced to buy tons of products they couldn’t sell! Thankfully, Stampin’ Up! takes a very different approach to those companies.
4 – It’s Easy To Stay A Demonstrator
You only have to have sales of $468 a whole quarter (NOT a month!) to stay on the list. This translates to roughly $156 a month. (I don’t know about you but when I go to Bunnings or Spotlight or any other craft store to get one little thing, I spend more that every single time!)
And when I say “sales”, it means that you can purchase for yourself, purchase for your friends, hold a traditional event like a party where people can order through you, or create a class and charge a fee…..there are tons of ways to meet this minimum and it’s so much more reasonable than so many other companies.
5. There’s an opportunity to create meaningful connections
Probably one of the two most important things for me is the people that Stampin’ Up! brings into my life!
Believe it or not, I’m really shy and suffer crippling anxiety. I avoid parties and crowds and cringe at the thought of being in a queue! But in other ways, I crave social interaction.
Stampin’ Up! has provided me with opportunites to talk to people about something I love (paper crafting and card making) and through those discussions, I’ve met people whom I never would have otherwise met and developed strong friendships.
Demonstrators from all over the world, who I have met just once or twice in person and sometimes only virtually, have opened their homes to us. Some have become part of our core group of friends and we can’t imagine our lives without them. And there are the wonderful customers, who I’ve built long friendships with over coffee, cake and cards.
This is not the same for all demonstrators but this is my experience.
What if…?
What if you join Stampin’ Up! and aren’t loving it – it happens sometimes – there is no penalty! You just send an email with a “Love Your Products But it’s not for me” message to Stampin’ Up! and you are done. And best of all, you and I stay friends, no hurt feelings… I know you have to do what is right for you.
In addition to these, you will get one-on-one access to me and my help to get you started! I prefer one-on-one, I find it so much more personal than doing group zooms to get you started.
Of course, there’s so much more I could share but for now, if this has piqued your interest, you can either join right now right here or reach out to me and we can have a chat.
I’m more than willing to share everything – all the nuts and bolts – so you can make the best decision for you and, as you know, I am NOT pushy. I absolutely abhor pushy people so I shut down and don’t ask questions, and that doesn’t always serve me well. Asking questions is the best way to know if an opportunity is right for you, so I promise to answer your questions in the least pushy way possible.
Thanks for allowing me to share this opportunity with you.
