Becoming a Demonstrator

Yesterday I was able to send out my newsletter but I was in such a rush to send it out that I forgot to write in the codeword for this month's newsletter.  Oh well, next month I'll have an extra special code word!

Congratulations to Mariem that won the September Code Word contest!  You win a new Calypso Coral ink pad.

2)  What are the minimum sales requirements?

You only need to submit $400 in sales per quarter. That is less than an average Stampin’ Up!® workshop! Also, you can submit your sales in any increment you wish and still receive your 20 percent discount and commission.

If you sign up in October you will have the remainder of this quarter (Oct - Dec) and the next FULL quarter (Jan - March) to reach $400 in sales.

3)  What is the penalty if I don't maintain my minimum order?

No penalty!  You aren't black listed or banned from purchasing Stampin Up products.  You get to enjoy all of your great supplies at a discount.  BUT there are great perks to remaining active including the Stampin Connection Website for great ideas, challenges to earn free stamps, able to attend Stampin Up Events like Convention, and sneak peeks at all the new products!! 

4)  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).


Any other questions you may have please contact me.  I'd love to get together with you and see if Stampin Up may be right for you!


Thanks for stopping by.
