Why Join Karen & Tim in Papercrafting?

from stampingonthebackporch

25 years ago this month I started my papercrafting business. So much has changed in our lives since then! Tim's job had just ended, I was homeschooling our kids and I wanted to find something to bring in some money at least temporarily in the evenings until you found another job. I had never considered direct sales - never thought I could sell a thing - but I thought I could show how to make cards. I mean, after all, people wouldn't even be looking at me - they would be watching my hands and what I was creating. Little did we know that 25 years later Tim would be working with me. We would be having a blast creating and connecting with wonderful people all over the country!!! Along the way I have met so many new friends and I have welcomed many people that have joined my business. I decided to ask a few of them why they joined and I'm going to share their responses later …. But first I just wanted to mention a couple of things first. Did you know that there are several different ways we can make money with a paper crafting business? But first —— Why Pay Full Price? If you are already buying stampin up products - why not get a discount? Starting with 20% off anything you buy ___no obligation —- never any pressure from me - this really is all about you! How do I make money? Of course, if you are just buying for yourself -  you are saving money - but what if you want to make money — or even just have your hobby pay for itself? Or plan a vacation for some day in the future when we can do that again Or maybe you want to build an online business. Make $ 6 ways. Three ways from Stampin' Up! - Commission on products, building a team, bonuses Other ways: Class fees, finished product sales (cards & gifts at craft fairs or online), special orders, designing projects & selling tutorials **Think you can't teach? Have you ever stamped with a grandchild or a friend and shared an idea with them? You are already a teacher —— we all are!!! So much opportunity to hold classes over Zoom - a small group that looks forward to getting together each month The Fine Line Community!!!!—- This is my downline group - you get my online classes for free, weekly lives and encouragement and sharing from the team Get it first!     Get new catalogs first & order a month before customers Card Swaps From the home office —- SU website, conventions, Facebook groups and more So - Do you know what the best deal in the catalog is???? It is definitely the starter kit! For only $99 (and no shipping which saves your another 10%) you get to choose $125 of anything you want in the catalog - plus this month and next, you also get five new paper packs! Who is this for???? **For the beginner —— what an opportunity to get started with an awesome kit and a discount on everything else you need **For the avid stamper —- you know you want the latest products anyway!!! Let me know if you have any questions - and if you know someone that this might just be a good fit for, please send them this link.
