8. Is Stampin’ Up! a well-known, respected company?
Since 1988, Stampin’ Up! has been selling rubber stamps and paper-crafting supplies.
In that time, not only have we won industry awards and accolades, but also the loyalty
and admiration of demonstrators and customers alike. And that is a trend that we work
hard to maintain. You can rest assured that the reputation of Stampin’ Up! will only
continue to improve!
9. What if I decide that I don’t like it once I’ve started? Will I be penalized if I quit?
You may choose to stop at anytime, and you will not be penalized. You simply stop
placing orders. However, there are many benefits to remaining an active demonstrator.

Here's another post about what kind of demonstrator you might like to be:
Hobby Demonstrator: Most that fall into this category hold occasional workshops to make a little
extra money, but they don't plan on making Stampin' Up! a career for themselves.
Discount Demonstrator: You are mainly a demonstrator just for the fabulous benefit of receiving
20% off each order to fund your Stampin' addiction. You still might sell to friends, family, and
neighbors, but you are in the demonstratorship for yourself and your personal pursuits of
happiness in the Stampin' Up! world.
Seasonal Demonstrator: Works fantastically hard to earn specific amounts of money and to meet
certain goals for themselves for part of the year, then kicks back and makes sure to meet the
minimum quarterly orders for the rest of the year with no pressure.
Career Demonstrator: You pursue your demonstratorship as your career. You hold regular
workshops, stamp classes, recruit new demonstrators, and want to further yourself within the
company, as far as you can go.
Of course, these aren't Stampin' Up!'s official descriptions - I embellished a little into how I see
the normal four demonstratorships go. However, I think you get the point. This is a fabulous
deal - to become an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator at this time.

Take care and Happy Stamping!
