ANNUAL CATALOG PREORDER & RETIRING STAMP SALE


SIZZLEN STAMPERS

It is time for my Annual Catalog Pre-Order (and dont forget-my RETIRING/USED STAMP SALE JUNE 9 SAT 10 AM my place)
Want to get your New Stampin' Up! Catalog the minute it hits my doorstep (ok maybe not the minute but you know...)
This year because Stampin' Up! will be having 2 catalogs a year + Mini's I have had to revamp the way I am offering them to you.
Actually YOU Benefit even more!
The catalog is over 200 pages and normally sells for $9.95

However I am offering Early Bird Spots in my Test Panel group this year - in exchange for joining- you will receive the following:
BOTH MAIN CATALOGS JULY/JAN ($19.90 VALUE)
THE 4 MINI CATALOGS ($12.00 VALUE)
ATTEND A MONTHLY (on average) TEST PANELIST CLASS FOR FREE ($100.00 VALUE)
DISCOUNTS ON OTHER EVENTS/CLASSES throughout the year
HOSTESS BENEFITS 1 TIME DURING CLUB (a min of $15.00 IN PRODUCT + HOSTESS SET(s) MIN VALUE OF $15.00 = $30.00 IN FREE PRODUCT)
YOU HELP DECIDE TEST PANEL MATERIAL ON YOUR HOSTESS MONTH- (INVALUABLE- PICK WHAT YOU NEED/WANT TO LEARN)
ACCESS TO NEW PRODUCTS BEFORE THEY ARE AVAILABLE- (INVALUABLE)
RECRUIT NEW TEST PANELISTS AND RECEIVE GIFT CERTIFICATES **($10.00 FOR EACH PANELIST)
EARLY BIRD PURCHASING DISCOUNTS ON OCCASION (INVALUABLE)
PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO ME AND TO STAMPIN' UP! ABOUT PRODUCTS ETC (INVALUABLE)

THAT'S OVER $160.00+ IN FREE PRODUCT/SERVICES (that's more FREE than your 10 month min. expenditure would be)

What is the Test Panel- How does it work?
You agree to sign a Committment Agreement that you will
Purchase $15 net, of product per months of the agreement
This year the Test Panel will run August - May
Each month one of the members is assigned to be the Hostess of the Panel
You may request certain product, technique, ideas &/or projects to be used/taught.
You may opt to hold an in Home workshop in addition and increase your hostess benefits
You will have all orders to me within 3 days of the Test Panel Class date each month - I am going to be more strict
with this- this year. As this past year , as never before, I ran into some issues. If you are unable to place an order 1month
you will need to discuss this with me and we can work something out as long as it doesnt become a regular thing.
Remember this is a Commitment! When 1 player doesnt follow thru or isnt on time with their orders - it severely affects all the other players -
(Loss of Hostess Benefits, Late Orders etc.)
**In addition for every new Test Panelist you recruit between now and June 25th you will receive a Gift Certificate for $10 to be used in your Hostess Month
New panelists would be someone who has never been in a test panel with me before and can be a totally new SU customerÜ


Now I know some of you are asking is that the ONLY way to get the NEW CATALOG? No but it is the BEST BUY FOR YOUR MONEY!
Most of my customers on average easily end up spending the test panel agreement amount over the course of the year whether they intend to or not
Because there is ALWAYS something Hot, Cute, Trend setting etc that we just MUST have! Even for my customers who (heaven forbid) claim they
have all the stamps they would ever need - and then some, generally purchase papers, inks, reinkers, new embellishments etc. Let's face it - it all adds up
Even if you ran to Michaels or your local scrapbooking store you would easily spend $15 in a trip. Why not sign up for the test panel, shop from home/work, and get all the Bonus FREE Perks and Benefits!?
Ok so i still havent swayed you?

Calendar an In Home Workshop for July or August and get your catalog FREE- yes i do offer the catalog FREE to hostess' all the time but this year
trust me you will want that catalog early! Here guests can shop, learn about Stampin' Up! and go home with 1 project they have made.

Not sure about an In Home Party? Try an In Home Class - for $10 per guest you and your friends can be dazzled by Stampin' Up!'s new products in a make n take class
at your place or mine! The fee is waived for the hostess + you will get the NEW CATALOG and of course hostess benefits from orders placed at your class.
Class projects are not repeats of my other classes. It's like Archivers just came to your home - ONLY BETTER-
Because it is STAMPIN' UP! and me! In June and July I am attending several fun and cutting edge industry events including of course Stampin' Up!'s convention. So classes and techniques will be Hot, New & Now! At these classes you and your guests will make and take home 3 projects + get to shop from the New Catalog!

Last Chance Option to get that New Catalog that you so desperately want is to of course Buy it. But why buy something so valuable when you can get it
for FREE simply by participating in one of the above options. It is only to your benefit.
Catalogs will be $10 or get the bundle pack for $18- which is a $10 savings
Bundle Pack includes: Both Main Catalogs - July and January, as well as all 4 mini's

EMAIL ME TODAY: THE EARLY BIRD CATALOG OPTIONS LISTED HERE ARE ONLY AVAILABLE TODAY - JUNE 25TH
