Is stamping your passion? Do you eagerly await your next shipment of stamping supplies? Maybe you just want to get your stamping supplies at a great discount, or maybe you want to earn a little cash on the side to finance a fun trip or purchase. Or, maybe you are looking for the satisfaction of building a business of your own, where you make your own hours and enjoy the flexibility of a home based business doing what you love. Whatever your reason, I would love to have you on my team , the Sea to Sky Stampers!
First off, let's talk about what being a demonstrator is all about. As you are well aware, paper crafting is a very popular market and there is always a need for more crafty ladies to demonstrate Stampin' Up! products! There are lots of different types of Demonstrators too! While everyone carries the same designation as 'Demonstrator' with Stampin' Up!, there are many different reasons people join and demonstrate the products. You may find you identify with one of these, or all of them, such as:
Short-Term Demonstrator: These crafty ladies sign up for the starter kit, and demonstrate for a pre-determined length of time. Their goal is often to earn enough money on the side to finance a major purchase, help her family through a rough financial time, or to fill the gap between employment periods. She may or may not continue as a demonstrator after this time period is through, and she can join for as little as a few months if she chooses.
Casual Business Demonstrator: A Business Demonstrator is someone who demonstrates to make a bit of cash on the side or to earn her stampsets for free or at a major discount. She might have a club that meets her quarterly minimums, and might do the occasional workshop, but only chooses to devote one or two nights a month to her demonstrating.
Career Demonstrator: This is a Demonstrator who runs several clubs a month, and several events. She has an active downline, and works to help them succeed. Her goal is to earn a signficant income from stamping, and while she still may have a 9-5 job outside of stamping, she also does workshops and classes for her customers on a regular basis, as well as attends SU! events. She plans to stay a demonstrator long-term, and wants to move up the career ladder.
As you can guess, there are other goals to being a demonstrator, and you might have some specific ones yourself! There is a place for you, and you will find folks with similar goals as well!
As an aside, you should read this article on 'mom-preneurs' - if you are a mom of young kids like me, it really showcases why business building is exactly the sort of thing we are doing!
Some facts about joining: There are no order minimums and no 'minimum' order to qualify for the 20% discount. There is no requirement to do workshops and you can be your own hostess. You do not carry inventory so you can quit whenever you want... !
When you sign up with me, you will become a part of my Sea to Sky Stampers team. This is a wacky, fun, and very loving group of ladies who fall into all the above groups themselves. We have bi-monthly meetings, which alternate months with the group we are also a part of called 'Colourful Impressions'. At these meetings we talk 'shop, chat about our businesses, discuss strategies and of course, STAMP! We also have a monthly drop-in night where all of my demonstrators are invited to come to my studio and use my stamps, tools, and more, to help plan their classes, or just hang out and get some stamping done.
To me, one of the biggest kicks I get out of this business is helping my downline to grow their own businesses. To that end, I try to speak with each of my downline at least once a month to help them grow their business, and I also run many incentive programs, to help them succeed. One of the biggest resources my downline receive is access to a private Sea to Sky Stamper blog, a resource I designed to help them to have everything they need at a fingertip. This is where they can find event ideas, business advice and more, all updated frequently with new topics.
i was honoured in my first full year of business to be awarded a Rising Star Award, for building a strong, successful business in my first full year as a demonstrator. In my second year, I was doubly honoured and fortunate enough to be awarded the title of 7th Place Demonstrator of the Year in Canada, for my leadership skills and personal business success. I love to share what I know with my downline, so they have the same chance to succeed as I have!
My career prior to owning my own stamping business was in marketing and business planning, and I feel that it has given me a lot of experience and has accounted for much of my success. I have been fortunate to earn the annual incentive trip every year I have demonstrated, and eagerly help my downline who wish to earn it themselves! When you join my team, you will find that you are supported in whatever way you need!
There's lots to know about being a demonstrator, and I can honestly say that this is the BEST career I have ever had - join me, and I'll show you what I mean!
