7. What is my cost to become a demonstrator?

The cost for a standard starter kit is $135* (no shipping or taxes).  And you will pick out products up worth up to $165.

 8. What’s in the starter kit?

Stampin’ Up! gives you options.  You can completely customize your kit.  For only $135, you’ll get business supplies and then pick out whatever Stamping supplies you want!  You pick out products up to $165!  My favourite products to suggest are a Paper Trimmer (costs $34) and a mixed package of cardstock each of the 4 colour collections (4 x $12 each).  That will l cost $82 so far so you still have $83 left to pick out supplies like ink, stamps and embellishments.  If you need some help picking items, I can help you. Also here’s a suggested list.

9. What do I have to do to stay active as a demonstrator?

Stampin' Up! box openTo stay active you will need to sell a minimum of  300 CSV (Stampin’ Up! International Unit) which is approximately $400 Canadian per calendar quarter.  And new demonstrators don’t have to show any sales in their first partial quarter.  Most demonstrators find a combination of a class/workshop, and sharing the catalogues with their friends is enough to reach that quarterly goal easily.  I’ll help you brainstorm, what is the best way for you to achieve this. 

 11.   Is this a Pyramid Scheme?

Absolutely not! This is legal direct sales business and Stampin’ Up! belongs to the Canadian Direct Selling Association.direct member selling association
