Back from Dortmund OnStage Live - with All Dressed Up Dies tips and tricks

Welcome to Ready Set Demo

Well I am just back from Dortmund, Germany and an amazing OnStage Live. I got to spend time with demo friends old and new, and it made my heart happy to hear about how my classes and tips have helped the businesses of demos around the world.

One of the new product highlights for me is the All Dressed Up bundle - especially the dies. Our demo presenter was the lovely Fannie Minnie from Austria. She didn't have the time to actually put together a bag however, so I have made a video to help you skip some of the learning curve and make some stunning projects with these dies first time out of the pack.

The video below shows lots of tips and tricks to create your bags and I can't wait to play more and find out how else I can use them. 

I am also doing a little happy dance as my with-product classes have rocked me up to no. 7 for UK sales and no. 19 overall - not bad for a face to face business! I will be back in the new year with some Ready to Teach classes and with-product classes to help you with your business. In the meantime, you may also like my technique and other class project videos which you can find here. 

Enjoy the video.

Class projects to generate sales

Welcome to Ready Set Demo

I filmed this video for my main blog and it will go live next month...but I wanted to give a preview here because these class projects are going down REALLY well with my customers.

They are loving that two of the three projects use the same So Many Stars bundle - and it is generating much higher than usual at class sales.

Feel free to CASE for your upcoming classes and fingers crossed your customers love this bundle as much as mine do!  Teaching tip - get everyone to make the quick pillow box project before the card so they have the little stars on hand at the right time.

Every since I shared my training video on how I doubled my business using with-product classes, I have been having requests for an online version of Stationery Bag Class. Well your wish is my command, so here it is...

MAGNOLIA LANE STATIONERY BAG - ONLINE CLASS 

The class features a beautiful handbag/purse that is designed to hold cards and envelopes, tags, a pen, post-it note and postage stamps. It really would make a stunning gift and has been very popular with my lovely ladies in class.

The class includes all of the following: 

• A supplies list so you know what to order for yourself and per customer with ideas about pricing and alternatives
• A cutting list in inches with every element measured - fully editable so you can add your own name and details and hand out at class to your customers  
• A step by step tutorial video, indexed so you can find just what you need. 
• Teaching hints and tips and card technique demos included in the video. 
• High Quality photographs of the cards with no logos - so you can share them at your class if you wish

All this for just £10, (which is apx. $14 US, depending on PayPal exchange rates). 

All of these items are sent to your email address within 24 hours of receiving your payment - usually much sooner, but it depends on our relative time zones :)

How I doubled my business....with product classes step by step

Welcome to Ready Set Demo

If this is your first visit, this blog is designed to help my fellow demos be successful in their businesses with tips, tutorials, online classes and training.

Today's video shares something I am very passionate about - including with-product classes in your business. Adding just 8 of these classes a year allowed me to double my business and I have been at no. 9 in sales for the UK for 2 years - all with classed based face to face events.

I have had a lot of questions about this subject so in this video I cover how to design, plan, cost, advertise and run this type of event.

So grab a coffee and a notebook - or listen while you work - and I hope you learn something new.

I cannot offer 1:1 coaching, but if you have any questions, please put them in the comments below and I will answer - because if you have a question, it may help others too.

And finally if you would like to know more about my online classes you can see them all here.

2019 Catalogue Launch Parties

Welcome to Ready Set Demo

I ran four  launch parties for the new Stampin' Up!

Nine Lives Sampler Screen

Welcome to Ready Set Demo

Our Stampin' Up! catalogue is great, but sometimes we as demonstrators can do even better in showing the versatility of our products.

Nine Lives for me was a case in point. I wanted to show how to layer the stamps with different colours to give a whole range of kitties!

The video shows this as well as simple how-to instructions for making the screen.

If you are new to this blog - welcome! It is especially for you as a Stampin' Up! demo. I encourage you to sign up for my newsletter here so I can give you a heads up when I have something useful to share....never more than twice a month!

You can also find plenty of online classes on my class tab including my newest one, Butterfly Birdhouse.

Why teach with product classes? 

The biggest change I have made to my business over the past few years is including with-product classes. It is largely due to this that I reached number 9 for sales in the UK last year  - and I run a traditional class based business - no online sales have helped in that achievement. 

Your existing and new customers will LOVE to learn how to make these gorgeous projects and you will get great sales from the Stampin' Up! products you use 

Are you ready to join me and increase your sales and income while making your customers happy? 

Pay securely with Paypal and you will receive your class in your email inbox within 24 hours.
