Frequently Asked Questions About Being a Stampin’ UP!® Demonstrator?

1. What will I do as a demonstrator?

You will enjoy running your own business by sharing stamping with others at workshops. By joining, you will become part of my downline group (Nix Chix) and have the opportunity to attend Stampin’ Up! training events, including our annual convention and other training events.

2. Will I recieve support and training as a Demonstrator?

YES! I will be here to help you with anything you need. Feel free to call me with questions. You’ll also have face-to-face interaction with other members of our group who will be able to help you. I host a monthly training meeting in my home for all of my downlines. We cover a variety of topics including new products and new techniques. We also have a question session where you are able to ask the group for help with any concerns you have. On top of that, Stampin’ Up!® provides dozens of training resources to help you run your business, including a monthly publication called Impressions, Demonstrator Support agents, a demonstrator-only Website, hundreds of samples, annual and seasonal catalogues, a training DVD, the Demonstrator Manual and a Product Guide.

3. 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 (3-12 percent of total sales), and monthly Downline override commissions (2-6 percent of your recruits’ sales).

4. Is Stampin’ Up!® a well-known, respected company?

For over 20 years, Stampin’ Up! has been selling rubber stamps and paper crafting supplies. In that time, not only have we won industry awards and accolades, but also the loyalty and admiration of demonstrators and customers alike. This is a trend that we work hard to maintain. You can rest assured that the reputation of Stampin’ Up! will only continue to improve.

5. Will I have to stock inventories of Product? Will I be trained to use high pressure sales pitches to sell and recruit?

No. You will only order items when someone places an order and pays you in advance, so you won’t need to keep inventories. Recruiting is absolutely optional. We’ll teach you how to maximise sales by giving friendly, helpful advice about your customers’ product needs. I have found that Stampin’ Up! products really do “sell themselves”.

6. How much do I have to spend to become a demonstrator?

The only cost is $324 to purchase a Starter Kit (worth an amazing $590). There are no annual renewal fees.
