In making up my recruiting packets for the upcoming Sale A Bration 2011, I felt like a flyer outlining what comes in the Bonus Bundle was in order. Feel free to use this generic flyer for your own business. There is no personal information that would have to be changed out.
Dream BIG! What is your recruiting goal for Sale A Bration? Is it a bit of a stretch, or are you not budging from that comfort zone? Click here to read an article about those cozy places!

Here is a game I came up with to play at my group meeting tonight. I opened an MDS blank 8.5x11 page and "stamped" an image from ten different sets on the page. You can then print directly from MDS, or save the file as a JPEG and insert it into your favorite word processing or desktop publishing program.
The object is to identify the stamp set the image came from--most correct answers wins.
You can make this game more challenging by adding in images from exclusive sets only available through MDS, or by including more images to identify. Obviously, you will want to adjust the difficulty level based on your audience.
For your convenience, here is a PDF of my Birds & Bugs version of the MDS Images game. All of the images are of animals, butterflies or birds. There are ten images, so this game should take only a couple of minutes to complete. Feel free to copy & use at your meetings!

My customers like a Wish List with a little more space on it than the one I had been using off the demo website, so I came up with this one. It is intended to be folded in half the long way and slid over a page or into the catalog so it can't get lost. I have attached a double-sided one here for your convenience. It is generic, so you may wish to add your contact information or a schedule of classes on the back.
My personal one has coupons on one side and the Wish List on the other, and I insert one in the first fifty new catalogs I hand out. This helps people make sure they come by right away during my "open for pickup" hours, and ensures I get the majority of my books out as soon as possible at the start of a new catalog.

Here is a file with two quick games you can play either at a downline meeting or with customers. As you already know if you attend any of my meetings or read my games articles, I subscribe to Linda Hansen's idea that we need to interject the "PARTY" back into "home party plan!" Games also make excellent ice breakers, and give different people in your group a chance to win a prize, instead of everyone watching the same three people take home the awards each month.
I played the quiz game at my hostess appreciation event and I was amazed and please to see how many of my customers knew almost every answer. You can make your own questions simpler depending on the audience.

This is a wonderful Excel spreadsheet whose original creator's name has unfortunately been lost (if it is you, please let me know and I will change the post to reflect that). It is an invaluable reference for anyone who wants to get serious about tracking exactly what they are spending, and also useful for figuring out what to charge for your Stampin' Up classes and stamp camps.
You can change the tax rate to reflect your area, and then save it under that new name, and share with your downlines. It can also be modified for customers as well. I love to show my stampers how affordable making your own projects can be.

Quite a while back now, I did a class for extremely thrifty customers (you probably know at least one!) called Bargain Hunters. Here's my notes from that class. Where there are asterisks inserted, it means I had a sample to show of whatever we were discussing at that point in the presentation.
It would be fun to do a class like this, maybe throwing in some fun recycled pieces and "green" ideas, given the current economy. If nothing else, maybe you'll spot a tip or two even YOU didn't know!

I created this handout for a series of classes on different styles of stamping. This one covers the Vintage and Vintage Nouveau (new vintage) looks and how to achieve them. I used this in conjunction with a class with three projects, which you can view on my stamping blog: www.songofmyheartstampers.typepad.com
Covered in the handout is what types of sets to use, what colors suggest vintage, what techniques work well for vintage, what NOT to use for vintage, and much more. Please read the parameters for reproducing handouts, at the top of the main page, before printing. Enjoy!

Don't assume that your customers know the slightest thing about computers. Lots of us are well versed in how to nod our heads and look like we know what it going on when it comes to computers.
Feel free to use this PDF that I put together for the My Digital Studio Area Seminar in February of 2009 with your customers and downlines. It's a quick one-page glossary of terms with easy to understand explanations.
