Grandma's Rocking chair Question for Today: Why did you want
to be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator?
This week is one of the best weeks to become a Demonstrator
since I have been a demo this is the best thing I have seen. $75 to join and you get $125 worth of Stampin’
Up! product. When someone is interested
in becoming a Demonstrator under me it
is a question I usually ask and one they usually ask me. So I thought today I
would share why I became a Demonstrator and now why I continue to be a
demonstrator.
Once upon a time, a long time ago I used to do crafting. I
loved to try many different crafts. I
was a craft a year person. One year
everyone got handmade afghans, one year cross stitch, one year ceramic,
etc. You all know what I mean. I loved doing something new and
different. Then along came Kayla and a
lot of my crafting was geared to baby and then to small girls, When Meigan came
along it was hard to craft major projects, so I was a Girl Scout leader with
Kayla and then with Meigan and I got my hit of crafting that way.
Well about 11 years ago my neighbor Dee invited me to a
Stampin' Up! party and I fell in love with stamping. I was not a scrapbooker though I was in the
middle of making my mother a huge and I mean huge Scrapbook for her 75th
Birthday (100 pages) so stamping also helped there. Well I went to one party and ordered a bunch
of things (took me days to find out how to open my stamp pads) once I started I
couldn't stop. There were so many things
I could do with paper, ink and stamps that I was back on creating and crafting
something different not every year but every month. Stampin' Up had a special going on, join and
you would get a free family of ink pads so I joined not just because of the ink
pads but also I heard that demos got 20% off their orders. I love saving money and I knew I was going to
be spending money on this craft so why not get a discount. I was working full time at a good job so I
was not expecting to make money or even do a business. I held one or two workshops a year and I
always bought my minimums. I loved
getting to see the new catalog and products before anyone else and getting to
be in the know.
Then I realized something I loved to teach Stamping. I mean I loved it. I liked the social interaction of all my
friends learning something new. I liked
finding new things that they could do.
At first my cards were crud and awkward, I look back at them and think
boy that wasn't very good. But I sent
the cards and had the classes and I learned along with the folks I was
teaching. I was having a great
time. I went to Stampin' Up! conventions
and learned about the business side but thought I am just a hobby Demo, don't
really want to make money, don't really need to make money, I just love what I
do. It was a stress reliever from work and from the stresses of two pre-teen
and teen girls. Then Last year I retired from my Government job and what
happened I had a lot of time to do my crafts.
Thought about it a lot and decided to ramp up my business. So I started slowly by adding a few classes a
month. Then I started my blogging,
facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and my Social media presence took off.
So what am I doing now and why. I am still a Demo and may always be a demo,
but I am moving away from being a hobby demo to being what we call a business
Demo.
So the reason I am a Demo has changed over the years (10)
that I have been a demo from just wanting the 20% discount, to teaching, to
earning an incentive.
So if you are thinking that you don't want to be a business
Demo but just want to save that money, it is OK to get that demo kit and pay $75
for $125 worth of merchandise and then keep buying at the 20% off. Or if you want to try and earn that paid
vacation to the Mediterranean that is OK also.
Or if you just want to share something you love you can do that to. I think there are as many reasons people join
Stampin' Up! as there are Demonstrators. If you want to know more I would be
happy to talk to you about it. or visit Join the fun page here on the blog, or
