Onstage Local

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend. I did. I drove from NJ to Hartford CT with two of my fellow demonstrators and went out for dinner. Then we met up with around a thousand more demos on Saturday morning for the Onstage Local event.

We get to meet demos we haven’t seen in ages, get the new catalog that comes out in June – and we get to order from a small list of products! We swap cards or any project that we’ve brought with us – I took 25 of the same card with me and thus came home with 25 cards from others. Here’s a dozen of us who all planned to swap with each other. You can just feel the excitement, can’t you?

We see displays and demonstrations and we get to play with the new stuff too. There’s recorded content from the home office and prize patrols where you win a stamp set. Here’s me winning the first prize patrol (there were 6 and everyone wins something) with my new friend Carmen looking on. We didn’t know Carmen before Saturday, but we had a great time with her on our table. We’re not allowed to show the product yet, hence the covered up stamp set! But you can see how happy I am with my new stuff!

There are also business presentations to help you focus on building your business – if you’re interested – or at least helping us see that sharing the starter kit with people isn’t being pushy, it’s offering them the opportunity of a discount. Who doesn’t like discounts? And then at the end, of the day, when we’ve done our 4 make and takes, we get to split the box of goodies on our table between us all. It’s really fun – I don’t think I can really express how exciting an Onstage is.

Here’s a photo of me and my friend Barb. This is our third Onstage together.

Oh and we get a bag. With a stamp set in it (it’s adorable) and there’s always an all-attendee giveaway. I was lucky and was the youngest on my table so got to pick first from the box of goodies and I picked a stamp set. So I came home with 4 new stamp sets. Can’t wait to try them out. There are more things in it too – a sign that will light up whatever you want to put in it, notebook, pens and so on. Oh – and a new catalog to pore over and make a (large) wishlist!

This year is the 30th Anniversary of the beginning of Stampin’ up! We had to celebrate with cake, naturally!

How do you get to go to one of these? You have to be a demonstrator – more details on the benefits on being one in the last post. And don’t let the word demonstrator scare you. You don’t have to demonstrate anything if you’d rather not. You can be a demonstrator who just buys her supplies at a discount. Ready to join – click on the Join My Team button below.
