Everything You Ever Wanted to Know -- and MORE -- about Being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

What are the minimum sales requirements?

The requirement to stay active as a demonstrator is $300 per calendar quarter.
  • Host events (such as classes, parties, or a monthly club) with your stamping friends to help meet your quarterly sales minimum.
  • Your own purchases (including your Paper Pumpkin subscription) count toward your quota!
  • You can submit your sales in any increment you wish and still receive your 20% discount and commission.
When you first start, you have some extra time to meet your first quota. For example, if you sign up in the middle of the October-December quarter, that quarterly sales requirement is waived  and you have until your first FULL quarter (Jan-Mar in this example) to meet your first $300 quota. And EVERYTHING between your sign up date until the end of the first full quarter counts toward that first sales quota.


How much does it cost to get started as a demonstrator?

The Starter Kit is only $99 + tax. Shipping is free!

The Starter Kit is fully customizable. You choose up to $125 worth of any current Stampin’ Up! products, and you will also receive a business supplies pack containing materials you need to run your business (valued at $50) such as catalogs and order forms. You'll also get a FREE Paper Pumpkin past kit!

How can I make money as a demonstrator?

Your commission is based on how much you sell (or purchase for yourself).
  • You automatically get 20% off of every order you place—instantly! 
    • When you advance to Bronze Elite, you'll get a raise and get an extra 5% instant income!
  • You can also earn a monthly volume rebate based (ranging 4-13%) on your total sales each month every month. See Compensation Plan.
  • With higher personal sales, you may qualify for cash bonuses, product bonuses, incentive trips and other awards.
  • Recruit and receive downline overrides based on your recruits' sales.


Do I have to recruit other demonstrators?

No, it is not required to recruit. However, one of the perks of recruiting other demonstrators is that can earn 3-6.5% commissions on your team’s sales!

How can I earn my Starter Kit for FREE?

There are TWO ways to get your Starter Kit for FREE or at a discount.
  1. Host a party and use your Stampin' Rewards toward your Starter Kit!

    Under the current host plan, you can earn your Starter Kit for FREE when you host a party that reaches $625 in party sales! Didn't quite meet your goal? You can use ANY amount of Stampin' Rewards to discount your Starter Kit!

  2. Kick off your business by holding a party or two within the first 30 days, and you could earn back the money for your kit before your credit card bill is due!

In my eighteen years as a demonstrator, I've found that new demonstrators who host their own workshop within 30 days of joining find the most fulfillment in this experience.
  • An average party is $300.
    • $300 x 20% = $60
    • $400 x 20% = $80
    • $500 x 20% = $100
    • $600 x 20% = $120 + 4% volume rebate ($24) = $144

**There are no guarantees regarding income. The success or failure of each demonstrator depends on the demonstrator's skills and personal efforts. You should not rely on the results of other demonstrators as an indication of what you can expect to earn.**


What if I want to do this as a hobby and not a business?

Stampin’ Up! supports all demonstrators, no matter their goals or the level at which they choose to run their business. If you choose not to hold workshops, you can simply place your own orders and/or collect orders from family and friends to equal the $300 quarterly sales minimum.


Can I be my own host?

Yes, you can be your own host anytime you want. Invite your family and friends into your home and have a party. You will be the hostess, receiving the host benefits, as well as the demonstrator, receiving your instant income and commission.

Do I have to hold parties and classes?

Holding events is one of the best ways to find new customers, however, there is no requirement to hold parties or place orders. A large majority of my team are "hobbyists" and enjoy crafting with a small group of friends and family.  


Where will I get project ideas for my parties and classess? What kind of training can I expect?

You will get as much or as little training as you’d like.
  • Stampin’ Up! provides audio and video training resources with tips to help you run every aspect of your business, including 
    • training videos and webinars in Stampin' University
    • "Demonstrator Planning Place" Facebook Group
    • annual and seasonal catalogs
    • the Demonstrator Manual

  • Monthly Virtual Meetings on our team Ju-bilant Stampers Team Facebook Group, which are uploaded to YouTube and shared in our monthly team email newsletter,
  • I am available for one-on-one training to provide coaching, direction, or help as needed. I am always just a phone call or email away!


Why should I join your team? 

All demonstrators on my team enjoy the same benefits:

  • Being part of an amazing team community of demonstrators who live all across the country. Connect with us on Facebook to chat, ask questions, share projects, and inspire each other.
  • Monthly Virtual Team Meetings and I share lots of project inspiration, PDF tutorials, and creative challenges.
  • Monthly Team Creative Zoom Sessions to visit with other team members and participate in Mystery Stamping
  • Team email newsletters with reminders, upcoming dates, recognition, inspiration,  business tips, and training.
  • Links to my class tutorials including the monthly project kits: Including three bonus projects and video tutorials NOT posted on my public blog. Team Members can also subscribe to receive coordinating make and take kits, which include a small gift for $5/month -- a small fee which helps to cover the cost of supplies and postage.
  • Recognition in the form of hand-stamped cards to the top sales achievers each month along with a free monthly project kit.
  • Fun Mail: I send surprise cards and packages throughout the year to random team members not based on sales or milestones: "just because"!

What are the benefits of being an active demonstrator?

I asked demonstrators on my team what was their favorite demonstrator perk. Here are some of their answers:
  • Making new friends who love the same thing you do
  • Being the first to see and pre-order new products
  • Getting a discount on everything in the catalog
  • Making extra money to pay family bills
  • Learning new techniques and being inspired by the bi-monthly demonstrator magazine
  • Sharing ideas with other demonstrators, participating in card swaps, and inspiring each other to try new things
  • Having an excuse to do something you love (and being able to write off all your "toys" as a business expense!)


Can I earn free product?

Yes! The company offers different promotions & incentives throughout the year where we can earn free product credit! 
  • The first incentive, called Quick Start, allows you to earn product credit for your personal sales and recruiting efforts in your first six months as a demonstrator. 
  • During Sale-a-Bration (Jan/Feb each year), demonstrators can earn free product credit based on their personal sales and recruiting efforts during the promotional period.
  • Demonstrators who promote to Silver (have $3,600 in 12-month rolling sales and one active team member) can earn a 2% product credit based on their personal sales each quarter.

**There are no guarantees regarding income. The success or failure of each demonstrator depends on the demonstrator's skills and personal efforts. You should not rely on the results of other demonstrators as an indication of what you can expect to earn.**


How much do I have to sell?

The requirement to stay active as a demonstrator is $300 per calendar quarter. Your own purchases (including your Paper Pumpkin subscription) count toward your quota. Plus, you can be your own hostess and earn the hostess benefits yourself. The company average for a workshop is $300, so you can meet the sales requirement by doing just one workshop per quarter – or by placing orders for yourself and your friends.

When you first start, you have some extra time to meet your first quota. For example, if you sign up in the middle of the October-December quarter, that quarterly sales requirement is waived  and you have until your first FULL quarter (Jan-Mar in this example) to meet your first $300 quota. And EVERYTHING between your sign up date until the end of the first full quarter counts toward that first sales quota.


What happens if I don't meet the quarterly minimum?

If you don't make your quota, Stampin' Up! gives you one month to make up the difference. In that time, you are considered in "pending" status. If you make up your missing sales, then you are "active" again. If however, you don't make up the missing sales during your pending period, then you are "dropped" as a demonstrator and will no longer have access to the Demonstrator Website and placing orders at a discount.


Are there any penalties for dropping out?

Nope! If you decide being a demonstrator is not for you, simply do nothing. You will automatically go inactive when you no longer meet the minimum requirements. In the meantime, you can still enjoy all of the benefits described above!


I'm ready! How do I get started?

You can sign up online at 
  • The Starter Kit is $99 plus tax (your local tax rate). 
  • Shipping is free! 
  • Make sure you have picked out the products you want to get in your Starter Kit. You can't go over $125. The system will time out if you take to long, so make those decisions before you get started!
You'll get an email confirmation that includes your demonstrator ID and password so you can log on to the Demonstrator Website immediately!
