How to thrive when times are tough

Welcome to Ready Set Demo 

I am just popping in today to share a short video I did recently to address how to move forward with your business even when global gloom seems to be everywhere. 

I hope some of the tips I have included help you, whether you are a happy stamper or a business builder. 

If you want to find my 'ready to teach' classes - they are all HERE.

NEW Fancy Folds Class - Ready to Teach

WE HAVE MOVED! You can find this class on our new website HERE.

Are you ready to teach some more Fancy Folds? I have 10 more plus a bonus project available for you.  This time they include a theatre fold, a fun bench fold coffee shop and lots more. 

I have designed them for teaching using our new In Color Cardstock and DSP - but of course you can use any stamps, card or designer paper you have on hand to teach these fun projects. 

As a bonus project, I am also including a banner which you can customise for a patriotic holiday or a birthday with whichever colours you wish.  

Included in the class are:

Measurements in inches worked out for A4 and US letter sizes

All instructions printable on A4 & US paper 

An ordering list per person

Class pricing ideas

Non-logo advertising photos 

A step by step video for each of the projects

A bonus video showing how to make the banner 

I have kept my class price to just £10, which is about $14 US depending on today's Paypal exchange rates.

WE HAVE MOVED! You can find this class on our new website HERE.

I love the versatility of Fancy Fold projects that can be taught as a one of card in a regular class - as a collection of 3 or 4 or you can do like me and teach them all over two classes. 

And best yet - make up a template and you can create the fold again at future classes with new goodies to make it new! 

My lovely ladies are loving these projects and I hope you and your customers will love them too. 

**NOTE: Products used in this class were current at the time the class was designed. In many cases an alternative stamp/punch/die or DSP design will work for the projects** 

Launch Back In Person 2022 - and five secrets of a successful launch event

Welcome to Ready, Set, Demo 

And woo hoo! my launch event is done.  Followed a week or so later by a bout of COVID - but after avoiding it so long it had to happen. I am much better and ready to share my launch with you. 

*** added information - yes I did 'make' my display boards. They are made from linen drier racks - you can see more in my video from pre-covid HERE. 

Also do have a look below for FIVE SECRETS TO A SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH EVENT.  

I do teach my team NOT to do such a big display, but I started doing bigger and bigger displays over the years and I don't want to disappoint my ladies. :) 

It was great to get back together in person, and if you haven't already seen it, here is a 2 minute video montage of how it went. 

Events do not need to be big like mine to be wonderful for your business and if you would like to see my FIVE SECRETS TO A SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH EVENTS you can watch it below. 

If you are not already on my mailing list which comes out a maximum of twice a month, please do sign up below for tips, ideas, inspiration, ready to teach classes and more. 

Oh and I have brand new Fancy Folds Class coming soon. 

Happy stamping and launching

Who Needs More Customers?

Hello and welcome to Ready, Set, Demo

WHO NEEDS MORE CUSTOMERS? I certainly did. When I returned to in-person classes last summer, I needed another class-full of ladies maintain my income. 

.

Last year - it just wasn't happening. And then in January I changed up my plan. And oh my goodness - 12 new ladies signed up for my new class in 6 weeks!

EDITED TO ADD - As of March 14th I am now up to 20 new class ladies booked and paid! And everyone who has attended has rebooked too! 

SO HOW DID I DO IT?

I share all in this FREE training video for you which covers: 
* Practical how-to advice to get customers signed up
* One thing I learned that really made a difference 
* All my results using paid & unpaid advertising

Click below to see the video...

While my aim was to get in-person class customers, you could adapt these many of these methods to attract online customers, new team members and more. 

I hope you find it helpful - I look forward to hearing how many new customers you find after watching this. Cue more smiles and tears!

Take care and happy stamping

Love Liz X

Stationery Bureau Ready-To-Teach Class

WE HAVE MOVED! You can find this class on our new website HERE.

Hello and welcome to Ready, Set, Demo

In my continuing mission to design classes that you can share using whatever products are available right now, I have designed a new ready-to-teach class for you. 

This class can be made with any Stampin' Up! 12X12 designer paper, any foil, any cardstock and any greeting stamps - so you can also teach it for any season or in any year too. 

It can be an at-home or in person class - I am doing both for my customers. 

STATIONERY BUREAU & 12 CARDS

The bureau has a drawer at the bottom to hold envelopes and extra sentiment labels. The doors open to reveal a section for full size cards, a section for 3X3 cards, a pen tray and two pockets for sentiments and postage stamps. 

I made one in the green and one in the pink and let my ladies choose which they would like to make.

Included in the class are:

• Measurements in inches worked out for A4 and US letter sizes
• An ordering list per person
• Class pricing ideas
• Non-logo advertising photos 
• A step by step video for the box and a walk through of each card design

I have kept my class price to just £10, which is about $14 US depending on today's Paypal exchange rates.

WE HAVE MOVED! You can find this class on our new website HERE.

I hope this class will help some of you save time and effort in working out a wow project to teach and that it helps with your sales too. 

**NOTE: Products used in this class were current at the time the class was designed. In many cases an alternative stamp/punch/die or DSP design will work for the projects** 

Natural Tones Stampin' Blends

Welcome to Ready Set Demo 

I am just in LOVE with the Natural Tones Stampin' Blends. I couldn't wait to share them with my lovely class ladies this month and was delighted that they loved them too.  

I like that Stampin' Up! provided a downloadable chart to demonstrate them, but I decided we needed a quick cheat sampler that could be passed around in class to help the ladies choose which tone they wanted. I also printed some larger number labels for the Blends - that printing is soooo tiny! 

It made it easy for them to use in class AND easy for them to decide which colours to order - or whether they needed them all! :) 

If you are on my newsletter list, you will already have a link to download my cheat sheet printable - and if you aren't on my newsletter list and you would like to be - let me know and I will forward it on to you.
