To DWBS or Not To DWBS???

That is the question....should you invest in a Demonstrator Business Website through Stampin' Up!


YES!!!! That is the best advice I can give you....here's why:

  • You can sign up new recruits through DBWS. This way we can take full advantage of the recruit specials (not having to overnight paper work to make the deadline). You can sign them up at the very last minute!

  • You have to have a DBWS to be on the demonstrator locator so new people can find you. In the past, I've had new customers and recruits tell me that they chose me because I had a DBWS and it was up to date.

  • It's a great way to post your class schedule so others can see your classes at their convenience. Make sure you always have something on the calendar. You want to look busy and give them opportunities to stamp with you.

  • It lists the SU specials without you having to always email them out. If you don't have a blog it's a good way to stay connected to your customers.

  • The best part, it's only $12.95 a month and anyone can do it!
  • I just used the E-Cards for the first time and it was soooooo simple. They are very professional and polished too!

From another demo:


"I have a friend who is extremely computer illiterate. But because our DBWS is very user friendly, she is able to easily update her calendar, add her personal stories and photos and send e-cards and newsletters that she doesn't have to design herself. Recently, she received a lead through the website for someone looking for information on becoming a demonstrator. When she met with the lead, she was surprised and pleased to discover that it was her "professional looking website" that prompted this lead to contact my demo friend. Apparently, the lead had viewed websites of many other demos in her area, but was impressed with my friend's full calendar of events and her personal story. She concluded that my friend "must be a succesful demonstrator to be that busy" and decided to contact her for information.


This lead had heard about Stampin' Up! 3 years ago and had put it on the back burner. She had never stamped before and when she decided the time was right for her to try it, she found my friend and the rest is history." Honestly, I hate to use the computer, but if I can do it, anyone can. This is a true story and just happened in the past few weeks. Our DBWS is a timesaver in many ways for me and I use the e-card feature all the time to send class reminders and sale updates. They are short and sweet, designed by a professional (not me!) and keep my name in front of my client base on a regular basis. $12.95 is a bargain to me for those features alone, not to mention the benefit of online sales and recruiting.
