Join the WOW paperKRafters Team

If you are considering the opportunity to become a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, then I would LOVE to welcome you into my team….The WOW paperKRafters.

It is important when you are weighing up your options to join as a demonstrator that you find the upline and the team that is the right fit for you.

So if you're looking for a small team but BIG on heart and enthusiasm you've come to the right place. We are a mixture of demonstrators, everything from hobby demonstrators to those of us who are wanting to climbing the Stampin’ Up! career ladder. Each and everyone is a valued member of my team! I am not the kind of leader who will try and pressure you to do more than you are happy or comfortable doing – whatever your stampin’ goals, whether to fund your own stamping habit or to build yourself a successful stamping business, I would love to help you achieve them….all you need to do is ask!

Is your Stampin' Up! wish list incredibly long?

Has your Idea Book and Catalogue got markers all the way through it? I know mine has!

So if you have ever dreamt of sharing your passion for creating cards, scrap booking, gifts and more whilst meeting new friends and earning a bit of extra cash to support your passion or to save for something special then Stampin' Up! is for you!

As a demonstrator you will receive:

• a FREE catalogue sent to you directly when they become available plus a monthly newsletter with tips to help with your business, product knowledge and ideas
• online access to different templates, pattern and designs to use at workshops and share with friends and an extensive array of business tools
• at least 20% discount on your own stamps - targets that have to be achieved every 3 months are very achievable so you don't even have to demonstrate unless you want to share how much fun and what a rewarding hobby it is.
• the opportunity to make a home based business with flexible hours
• free stamps, awards, trips and other rewards for your hard work
• the opportunity to meet people and new friends
• monthly team training
• I also offer a discount to my down line to attend my home classes if space is available

FAQs about being a demonstrator

Is there a minimum I have to maintain in sales?
To remain active as a demonstrator you need to maintain commissionable sales of $600 per quarter (3 months). Even if you sign up as a hobby demonstrator, this could easily be maintained by making occasional sales to your stampin’ friends in addition to your own purchases.   Otherwise, you should find that one or two workshops per quarter will keep you actively maintaining your sales quota.

Do I have to do workshops?
Only if you want to!   The choice is absolutely yours.  If you never want to present a workshop, then you never have to, but if you would like to do workshops, then it’s entirely up to you the kind of workshop schedule you maintain.

How can I earn money?
You earn an immediate 20% on all of your sales and in any given month, you can earn up to an additional 12% depending on your level of sales in that month.  If you choose to build a team of your own by sharing the Stampin’ Up! opportunity with others, you can also earn what is called a ‘downline override’ which the company pays to you based on the sales of your recruits 5 levels down.

Do I have to keep products ‘in stock’?
No, you will place orders that are paid for in advance by your customers so you won’t need to keep an inventory.


Do I get any training?
As your upline, I am here to help in any capacity that you require on your stampin’ journey and am always just a phone call or email away.  I am not the kind of upline who will pressure you to do any more than you are happy to do, but if you require extra support in any area of your business (or hobby!) then I am more than happy to help in whatever way I can - all you need to do is ask!

I hold monthly training meetings, unless my immediate upline or Stampin' Up!  has arranged training (so normally 2/3 months something just for our team) plus you will have access to our very own team blog - hopefully full of ideas for projects and classes.

Stampin’ Up! also provides a variety of valuable resources, including the demonstrator website, Demonstrator Support agents, the monthly full-colour Impressions magazine, demonstrator events including the yearly convention and regional training seminars, a training DVD, demonstrator manual and product guide, plus a series of ‘Ready-Set-Start’ email newsletters designed especially for demonstrators just starting out.

What are the start up costs?
The cost of the Stampin’ Up! starter kit is $339. The kit contains everything you need to start holding workshops, from a variety of stamps, inks and accessories, to business supplies. Phenomenal value as you receive nearly $590 in product.

What if I decide it’s not for me after I’ve signed up?
Then you simply stop placing orders. There are no penalties or requirements to pay anything back if you decide not to continue at any point after having signed up as a demonstrator. If you don’t meet your sales requirements for any given quarter, after giving you a chance to make it up if you’d like to, Stampin’ Up! will just ‘drop’ you and you go on your merry way!

These are the main questions that seem to pop up when I am asked about the demonstrator opportunity, but if have any further questions that have not been answered here, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
