Demonstrator Resources and Support

Have you ever thought about becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator but hesitated because you weren't sure what type of support you would need or whether you could host workshops and home parties?  Well you're not alone.  I think all the demos I've ever talked to have had the same concerns at one time or other. 

Stampin' Up!  offers lots of resources for their demonstrators such as Stampin Connection, a website just for demonstrators where we can share information and projects, a Video Library, Training Webinars and much much more.  

Recently a new resource was added called "Doctor Penny".  Doctor Penny is a free on-line resource for Stampin' Up! demos that accepts questions by email and can assist with just about any dilemma that may arise.  I answered a survey on Doctor Penny a few weeks back, and was rewarded with a full package of Watercolour Wonder Paper.  What a surprise and treat!

Becoming a demonstrator during a promotional time such as Sale-a-Bration is a great opportunity.  Not only do you get your free products and start up kit but it's an awesome time to take advantage of the sales with your own friends and family. 

If you'd like to know more about starting your own business or becoming a hobby demo just click here, watch the video and see the information that's available on my web site.  I'd love to have you join my team! 

Sale-a-bration is Coming!

Sale-A-Bration What Is It?

One of Stampin' Up!s biggest events of the year is just around the corner and I'm excited to share some information about it.  Sale-a-Bration is the one time of the year when you can choose free additional stamp sets and product rewards for any purchase over $60.00 CDN (before S&H and tax).

How Do I Get My Own Sale-a-bration Flyer?
If you're a customer of mine you'll have already received your Sale-a-Bration (SAB) flyer and had a chance to look at all the neat little goodies within.  If  you're not a current customer but would like to receive  catalogues and sales promos for FREE all you have to do is place a minimum $25 order (before shipping/handling and tax) at my on-line store, or hold a workshop, or order directly through me.  Once you've done that you'll automatically receive the year's catalogues in the mail.
