About joining Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator

Whether you want a discount on products you already love or you're curious about building a creative business, these answers cover the most common questions.

How much do I need to sell or buy each quarter?

You need $300 in retail sales each quarter to stay active. But here's the nice part: because you get a 20% demonstrator discount, $300 in product only costs you $240 out of pocket.

Most stampers meet this easily by ordering supplies for themselves, friends, or card-making classes — no pressure selling needed.

I was a demonstrator before. Can I rejoin?

Yes! Here's how it works depending on how long it's been:

  • More than 3 months ago: You can rejoin under any demonstrator — including me!
  • Less than 3 months ago: You'll need to rejoin under your previous upline.

Either way, I'd love to welcome you back to the Travelingstamper Caravan!

When are Stampin' Up!'s quarters?
Jan – Mar
Apr – Jun
Jul – Sep
Oct – Dec
Good news: the quarter you join in is waived! Your first $300 minimum isn't due until the end of the following quarter. For example, joining in October 2025 gives you until March 31, 2026.
What happens if I don't meet my quarterly minimum?

No penalties! You'll move into Pending Status for one month. During that time, you still keep all your demonstrator benefits and can catch up.

If you still haven't met the $300 by the end of the pending month, your status simply deactivates — and you keep everything from your Starter Kit. No fees, no pressure.

Do my own purchases count toward my minimum?

Yes! Your personal orders count toward your quarterly minimum. And since you get a 20% discount, spending $300 in product only costs you $240. It's one of the best perks of being a demonstrator.

When can I start placing orders?

Right away! As soon as you receive your Demonstrator ID and login from Stampin' Up!, you can place your first order. No waiting period.

What discount do I get?

You start at 20% off (also called your "instant income"). Once you reach Bronze Elite, your discount goes up to 25%.

Do I have to sell to other people?

Nope! Many demonstrators join purely for the discount and early access to new products. There's no sales quota and no pressure — Stampin' Up! supports hobby stampers and business builders alike.
