EVERYTHING I LOVE about SU!

[Mom-of-one]

No place can beat the cute sets they have to offer and at such a great price.

They offer great promotions from month to month that keep me on the edge of my seat!

And last but NOT least - I have formed friendships with so many people (you included) and that alone is priceless! Who would have thought I could get all this from one company?

[demodarla]

Hi, Veronica - We met in SA standing in line before regionals. I agree with all of the above. If it weren't for SU I wouldn't have found out about SCS and though I have learned a lot about other stamp companies on this site, SU is still the best. IMHO

[Mom-of-one]

Hey Darla!! They scratch-n-sniff queen!! How are you?

[AmandaMay]

Oh my goodness....prices can't be beat. I am a demo and needed a stamp NOW, so I went to the scrapbook store today and got a fork, knive, and spoon stamp....almost like the one in "Definitely Dinner" ($24.95 for set of 6 large stamps) and I paid.....$7.99 plus tax for ONE stamp! Ouch! It just reitereates what a great deal SU stamps are!

[spammie]

I really like the pre-coordinated color families. Like my demo says, it makes it easy to be creative!

[Stamplady4]

I love all of the above but I also love my newsletter......I don't know how many old timers there are out there....but, remember when it used to be black and white!!! I LOVE the newsletter.

I love how everything is coordinated. The stamps come in set of images with a saying. The color families with paper, inks, eyelets, etc. It just makes it easy to put together works of art.

[bird76]

Oh, There are sooo many things I love about Stampin Up! I love the diverse sets, the matching pads and CS. The prices are very reasonable and alot of times better than my local craft store. Plus, I love sharing a hobby with my Mom and sister ( we are all demos) I LOVE STAMPIN UP!!!!

[jezirus]

I wouldn't even know where to start... I love EVERYTHING about SU! I love the stamps, inks, accessories the 48 colors!!!!!, the people, the events, the opportunity to gather with other people and be creative, the quick shipping times, the obvious care the company has for its demos and customers. I sometimes feel like a dork, because I love it ALL!

[betzi]

I love all the people you meet! I have met so many amazing ladies through SU workshops, stamp camps, and now that I'm a demo, throught the workshops that I do. My upline and sideline are all amazing, and its great to share my hobby with others who are just as passionate about it!

[parisotremba]

HMMM....my top 5 SU! loves

1. The color coordination and stamp set coordination!

2. Love the prices!!! (I bought 3/8" organdy ribbon at a craft store - $1.99 for 10 yards, SU! price is only $4.95 for 25 yards!

3. PROMOTIONS PROMOTIONS PROMOTIONS!

4. SU! keeps up with the trends! Seems to me that they've been keeping up a lot more in the past few months!

5. The shipping ROCKS!! Down to 6-9 days...no other direct selling company can beat that!!! I LOVE IT.

[onestampinmama]

Here's my list....

48 colors / matching CS, markers, ink pads, eyelets, ribbon etc.
It allows me as a stay at home mom to pay for my habit (being a Demo)
The lifelong friendships I have made with fellow stampers
The awsome catalog
The monthly specials
The inspiration and monthly newsletter from Stampin' Up!
All the FREE stuff us Demos earn for doing what we love anyway!
stamp set prices

My list could go on and on. I love everything about Stampin' Up! I am so glad this topic got posted! It makes me proud to be part of such and awsome company. Stampin' Up1 does so much for us and others...Relief from A to Z, Ronald McDonald Charity, Breastcancer research....... etc

[ShellyBelly]

Hmm.....I love all the things mentioned.

I also love that they are community-minded and regularly engage in charitable giving. They have donated $250,000 to Tsunami relief ALREADY, and are working to raise $250,000 MORE through sales of the alphabet sets. They are also involved with Ronald McDonald House charities on an ongoing basis.

[TamMill]

As a demo, I love to see how excited everyone gets about SU's products. The product sells itself and what's not to love, right?!!! Listening to what my customer's say about how awesome the stamps are and such makes me love what I do that much more.

[virginia]

StampinUp! Flat out rocks and leaves it's competition in the dust as far as quality, service, price, and creativity go.

[stampinangie]

Oh, great topic! There are so many reasons I love SU...but here are some top ones:

1. Great products...such a diverse selection...just gets better and better...I would go crazy without this creative outlet!

2. Generous and caring company...generous to charities as well as to demos... a demo can reach great levels and become a successful business woman if those are her goals

3. Friendships made...I know it sounds cliche, but I can't imagine my life without the friends I've made through SU...my customers, my online stampin' friends, my upline, downline, etc...it's a whole world I would have missed without SU!

Happy stampin'!
Angie

[Stampin' Adventurer]

I agree with everyone. SU! is incredible. Without this company I know that I'd just be acquiring, but doing very little creating because prior to finding SU! I was having such a tough time coordinating papers with inks, etc. and getting really frustrated. Now I don't even need to throw the kids in the van to get my crafting fix because everything comes right to my door and I get a discount. What could be better?

[Mom-of-one]

I'm feeling the love - keep it coming.

[grazina]

I love everything about SU, their products, their demonstrator support crew, and especially all the wonderful friends I have made.

[pony110]

It'sa wonderful company - Whats not to love!!!!

[Motherof6]

The quality & price of the stamp sets is what drew my in. You can go to any craft store and buy 1 stamp for the price you can get a set from SU! What kept me is all the other great products they offer. They are the #1 stamping company hands down!

[amykae]

You know what I love best about Stampin Up? My demo, Laurie Freese! She has the most beautiful, creative ideas and is a generous, fun, sweet person to top it all off! Yeah, Laurie!

[nkowalk]

Wow! I don't know if I can come up with anything unique, but I'll post what I love about SU anyway...

1. The people - my hostesses and customers, many of whom have become dear friends. My upline, sideline, and downline.... more dear friends. The people working for SU from Shelli on down make this a company we can all be proud to be associated with. I have been blessed with meeting so many wonderful people since joining - who could ask for more? And yet, there is more!

2. The quality of our products, from the artwork to the stamps themselves to the accessories we offer. And if a product for some reason doesn't live up to SU's quality standards, we can be assured that they will exchange it to make it right.

3. I love our 48 colors that give me so much to choose from when making a project. I love that we have so many items in those colors so that we can coordinate paper, inks, and accessories without having to worry about matching shades.

4. I love that SU gives us so many creative resources - our monthly magazine, our website, ideas at convention and regionals, other demonstrators, and our customers.

I'm sure that as soon as I hit the submit button, I'll think of more!

[witty5]

I posted this on another thread, but I'll add it here too. Later this year I will hit my demonstrator 10th anniversary mark with this company!! That's gotta say love !!!

This company blows me away with how they've grown & improved each year. Just a few things that quickly come to mind:

**I remember back before they were exclusive. Now everyone knows, as many surveys have proven, that they have the best stamps, you can ONLY get from them.

**They offer wonderful incentives to their customers & demonstrators.

**In their amazing growth, when little bumps crop up (as only they would with as far as this company has come), they are quick and generous to make it right

**They are great at keeping up with the moving trends in the stamping & scrappin' fields.

**They market their wonderful products very well.

**They offer very good surpport to their demos through monthly newsletters (I can't believe the very small b&w newsletters we used to get many years ago), website, regionals, convention......

**SU has made every effort to keep up with the latest technology!
Their online Order Entry system is wonderful. I remember when my choice used to be phoning in my order (and the lines were SO busy), faxing, or *heaven forbid* mailing it via snail mail!

**They listen to their demonstrators requests.

**They care about all types of demos, not just the ones who want to make a big business for them. For example several years back they changed their monthly quota for demos, to a quarterly quota. This makes it more attainable for all types of demonstrators to be part of SU.

These are just some of the things that quickly stand out to me as I look back over the years. They've made so many improvements and have come so far in their field that I'm very proud to be part of Stampin' Up! and to share a company I believe in with others!

I am a demo, and I absolutely love all of the SU! colors (except that pesky Mint Melody, another thread, I know). However, my favorite thing about SU! is how responsive they are to their demonstrators. It is so nice that they hear what we're saying about things and make almost immediate changes. They really care about their demos and their customers, and they really seem to want things to be the best they can be for us. They're not afraid to say they're wrong about something and fix it right away.

[showmestamper]

There are so MANY wonderful things about SU! but here is my top love of SU products: The enormous variety of styles of stamp sets. There truly is something for everyone!

[aubrey27]

THe things I love about this awesome company...

The awesome products they sell from stamps to coordinating papers, inks, ribbons, eyelets, etc.

The IB&C. It rocks. Every year its filled w/ amazing stamps, and ideas on how to use them.

The promotions. I wait w/ bated breath every month in anticipation of what it will be.

The benefits to demos and customers alike. I love that as a demo, I'm not required to stock this stuff. All I HAVE to do is sell $300 in stuff in 3 months. And they automatically send our hostesses the bennies w/o requiring us as a demo to take it out of our pocket. And at the end of the year, when things got hairy w the shipping and backorders, they sent out postcards to everyone of our customers, offered free shipping and sent us demos a thank you stamp set (a phrase set. which rocks since words are so much more universal than image sets!!!) And now they are offering 6 sets for 1/2 off to everyone! Unbelievable.

Plus, not only have I met so many new friends, but it has reunited me w/ some of my old friends that I haven't talked to for years.

I love, love, love this company!!!!!!!

[phuncropper]

I learned to stamp with SU stamps, so what love most is that SU allowed me to unleash my creativity in ways that I never thought possible. I was the Anti-Craft before I discovered stamping and scrapbooking!

[Mom-of-one]

That is AWESOME Pat!

[uchy2us]

I love how everything coordinates!!! It makes it really easy for those of us with no creativity!

[astraea54]

I don't know that I can add anything that hasn't already been said but I love how charitable SU is. I feel honored to be able to be a part of it. I love how their colors are idiot-proof :shock: I love the quality and designs and price of their stamp sets. I love that it's something that has sparked a passion in me!!

My absolute favorite, favorite thing, however, is when I demo a ws and someone who says they have absolutely no artistic ability makes an incredible card and has that - wow! I did that feeling! It makes me feel soooooo awesome to know that I helped to make a persons day!!

I love the people I have met through SU, I love how wonderful demo support has always been to me, I love how we get new mini catalogs each quarter so there's always something fresh to play with, I love the excitement when I get home from work and I see the package from "Brown" waiting for me!!! I love that it's given me an outlet for creativity that I never knew I had...

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE SU!!!

...are ya all feelin the love

[Mom-of-one]

YES...I'm feeling the LOVE!

[stampysister]

I told my sister one day-- Stampin' Up! has changed my life. I used to buy stamping products, since like 1990, I've been buying products, and paper, and ink pads, whatever struck my fancy. Then I would sit in the stamp room, in front of the wall of random stamps, and feel STUPID.

Then one day my sister and I decided that I should become a demo. I had never, and still have never, attended another person's demonstration. We had just seen the catalog and decided that we should do it.

The coordinated sets, the idea book, the coordinated colors. I just started playing. I've gone from ugly as sin to really cool in just a few years (almost 3 I think). And it has changed my self-image incredibly. I wasn't some inward miss before. I have 11 years of college and a master's degree, but never really thought of myself as really creative. Now, I have big dreams. I love scrapping. I want to take it all the way... but stamping style.

Well, we'll see. At least I'm happy. Stampin Up Rocks!

[Mom-of-one]

Ladies - you are AWESOME!! I felt the LOVE all day yesterday! Thanks for making my day!
