How to earn extra income as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator
while your children are at soccer practice
We are a generation of multi-taskers. We are on the go.
We talk on the cell phone while waiting in line for our coffee.
We type notes on our laptops while waiting for doctor’s appointments.
We busily jot down ideas on napkins while we are at our child’s soccer games.
As women and as mothers we are great at using every moment we have
to the best of our abilities.
Why not apply those talents we have into a second income?
Combining our talent for getting things done and our love for crafting
is easy to multi-task our way into an extra income.
Here are seven ways we can use those lag times to generate interest in
Stampin’ Up, to learn more about the business and to network.
#7 – Brainstorm. We all know those ideas which are the best ideas come
to us at the strangest times. During a soccer game, waiting in the grocery
checkout line and while we wait for the child’s dentist appointment are
moments when we can brainstorm and plan stamping and scrapbook ideas.
Be prepared by keeping a notebook and pen in your bag. You may just jot
down a sentence or you may be able to outline a whole idea. You never
know what your brain will come up with!
#6 – Connect with customers. With everyone having cell phones it is easy to
use a few of those extra moments to connect with customers. Make a few
phone calls as follow ups. Book parties with new hosts. Keep in touch with
previous guests and customers. You can schedules classes or invite
customers to an open house.
#5 – Plan your next workshop. Get out your notebook and work out the
details for your next workshop. You can make list of the project you
want to demonstrate. List what you will need, who you will invite.
You can make a detail list right down to the deadlines you need to work
within.
#4 – Review techniques or learn new ones. Bring along a copy of Stampin’
Success®, Stampin’ Up’s monthly newsletter. It is filled with techniques,
ideas and tips. Learn the latest. Bring along older editions to brush up on
techniques from past issues.
#3 – Plug into your iPod. Stampin’ Up has audio resources available for download.
Put these on your iPod or MP3 player. You can listen to them when you are
waiting for an appointment, when you are exercising or even in your car.
You will pick up techniques and tips for stamping and scrapbooking as well
as for your business.
#2 – Network with others. While you are at a soccer practice or game, at the
doctor’s office or waiting in line at the grocery store, be prepared to network
with other parents and women. You never know where a potential Stampin’ Up
customer may be lurking. Having your business card, mini catalog and information
at your finger tips is a must.
#1 – Plan a Mom-time project. Are there moms you see at every event,
such as soccer, dance or scouts? Ask them if they would be interested in a
Mom-time project. See what kind of project they are interested in and help
them plan it. Make it an event for the moms of the group.
Where ever you are, whatever you are doing you can turn it into a
Stampin’ Up moment. As a Stampin’ Up demonstrator you can share your talent
and your love of crafting with others. Help others get their creative flow.
Show them how to preserve the memories of their kids with stamps and scrapbooks.
You can show them how they can make money with Stampin’ Up as well.
It is even easier to share your love of crafting when Stampin’ Up is offering a
mini-starter kit. For those looking for a small startup cost in these tight times,
this is the answer. For an extremely low price you get the For All You Do Stamp Kit,
6 different colored stamp pads and a variety of white and colored card stock.

in your life who is just always there and doing for you. You can use the stamp
in page layouts for scrapbook pages for Moms, Dads and all those special people in your life.
