Just curious - why was it $13? Did she have to mail it to you?
Just a word about being a demo. There are many "level" of participation as a demo. Some are demos just for the discount and some are in it for the career. I'm somewhere in the middle. Stampin' Up! as a corporation allows the freedom for us to choose how to run our business as best for US within the contract guidelines.
I have a full time job, kids, active in my kids activies, etc. I only do one event at my home once a month because that is what works best for me and my customers. I will do workshops if requested. But I still want to have time for my family. I barely break even with the time I do put in. I don't give away the store, but do "reward" my
loyal customers.
Tthe only thing we do not pay for is the hostess benefits detailed in the catalog on orders over $150. So anything we "give" you as 'freebies" comes from our pocket. I personally can't afford to do many specials and I still feel I provide better service and quality to my customers than a large chain craft store.
Sorry to be such a downer, but this thread had way to much demo bashing for me.
