I am one of the top UK Demonstrators and have one of the largest teams in the UK/Holland. I am ranked as #8 Demo in the World and am have a friendly and supportive team. We have our own little community on facebook and meet regularly at events throughout the UK. I have been a demonstrator for over 10 years since Stampin’ Up launched in Europe and have had the most wonderful experiences. I truly love the products, the people and have embraced this fantastic opportunity that has since become my full time job.

I have a dedicated blog for my downline which has lots of great resources and I email regularly with reminders about ordering incentives and tips for boosting your business. I also run monthly training (local to me in Buckinghamshire) and I also run a quarterly event in Milton Keynes as well as training in the Netherlands which is a great opportunity to get together to share ideas. You do not have to be local to join my team, everyone is welcome and I am in regular contact via email with newsletters and reminders. I have made Stampin’ Up! my business and became the #1 demonstrator in the UK in 3 short years.

I provide some useful tools to help you when you first get started such as a cardstock swatch and a welcome booklet explaining all the basics and a personalised notebook. I have loads of useful websites and resources to help you get inspired and making some beautiful items.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can join?
Anyone, as long as you are over 18 years of age, and live in the UK, France, Germany, The Netherlands or Austria.

How much does it cost?
£99 (129 €) and you can simply choose any current catalogue products to the value of £130 (175€).   You also receive a business supplies kit which includes catalogues, order forms and everything needed to get your business started. The starter kit is shipped direct to your home for FREE within approx 3-4 working days of signing up.

Do I have to demonstrate?
We would love you to but you don’t have to. If you can reach the manageable quarterly minimums with your own purchases you can simply join and benefit from the discounts and deals. There is no pressure from me as your upline or from Stampin’ Up! but if you change your mind and want to start a class or two or sell to friends or customers you can. You are in charge and you set your own targets and goals. It is so easy to share what you are passionate about and Stampin’ Up! offers some great incentives to get you sharing and earning so there is lots of scope to earn, promote and be rewarded simply by sharing what you love and the fantastic products.

What is the quarterly minimum?
The quarterly minimum sales target is £275 (300 CSV).   That equates to less than £50 a month! Whenever sales are mentioned in the Compensation Plan, they won’t be shown in local currency.  In order to make our compensation plan applicable to all markets, regardless of currency, we use a common measurement: commissionable sales volume or CSV.

Your first quarterly minimum needs to be reached at the end of a full quarter and if you join part way through a quarter you will be given till the end of the next quarter to reach your minimum. Quarters are as follows Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sept, Oct-Dec.

What discounts do I get?
On all orders placed you receive 20% discount off the net product total or 21% discount off if you are in the Netherlands. You can earn more commission the more sales you make in a month and any extra commission payments are calculated at the end of the month and paid direct in the bank account of your choice mid-way through the following month. You also get the chance to pre-order products a month earlier than the general release as well as very generous offers and discounts including hostess benefits on all eligible orders.

When you sign up as a demo, you receive the title of Bronze.  As you build your business, you can advance to subsequent titles and if/when you reach the next title of Bronze Elite you will receive 25% discount on your future orders/sales.

What training/support will I receive?
I have over ten years of experience and knowledge and can help you as little or as much as you need. I offer 1-2-1 training, training events, crafting weekends, get togethers and as much support as you need. There is also lots of info shared on the demonstrator website. We have a dedicated demo support helpline who are amazing.  I have 3 team facebook groups as well as a dedicated downline blog filled with resources. I offer training and events, where we spend time together, craft and share inspiration as well as offering training on how to launch your business, how to get started, how to earn the incentives and trips. Stampin’ Up! also offer events throughout the year in various locations. I run monthly meet ups local to me, a bi-annual event in Buckinghamshire and also a weekend getaway in Birmingham once a year as well as visiting the Netherlands several times a year. Everyone is welcome to every event and we craft, have fun and hang out together sharing our common love of Stampin’ Up! and its products.

Should I choose a local demo as my upline?
You need to make the right choice for you as once you sign up you are unable to change your team leader without resigning and rejoining 3 months later. Everyone is different and I would encourage you to do your research, don’t just look on-line pick up the phone and talk to the demo direct. Your team leader does not necessarily need to be local to you and you need to consider what it is that is most important to you and make your decision based on that. Some questions you may wish to consider are –

• Is your potential demonstrator team leader knowledgable, friendly and helpful?
• Is your potential demonstrator team leader available to support you?
• Do you want a local upline to meet up with for support and ideas?
• Do you want business support or help to get your business off the ground?
• Do you want to be left alone?
• Do you want to be part of a community/team?
• Are you on facebook?
• Are you willing to travel to training/events?

Once you have decided what you want from an team leader, call for a chat as it is really important that you get along and that your team leader can meet your needs. You may not need training or be interested in meeting up but are happy to chat with other team members on facebook. One of the best things about Stampin’ Up! are the people. I have one of the largest teams in Europe and offer support, guidance, training, ideas, inspiration and help, as much or as little as you need. You can choose to be part of the team/community or you can choose not to be, no pressure but you are free to choose.
