April Stampede News and PDF Links

	Hello everyone! I hope you have had a chance to check out the Retiring List and the upcoming Annual Catalog! You can find both of them on the Stampin' Up webpage AFTER you login as a demo. We are going to talk ALL about both of these things on Monday at our meeting. You won't want to miss it because I have lots of very important information to discuss with you all.  The Retiring List can be a fun time of the Stampin' Up year. But, it can also be frustrating! The most important thing to remember, and to make sure your customers understand, is that everything on the Retired Lits that is not a stamp set is "while supplies last." So, if there are things you want- take advantage! Yes- you get your demo discount on top of the discounted price plus Stampin' Rewards too. But, if you are planning classes for May, be VERY careful. I recommend you only use items that are carrying over for May Classes. Stamp sets are ok too- they are guaranteed through the last week of May. You also can use the new Eastern Palace Suite (see bottom of this email.)  We had a wonderful meeting last Monday! LOTS and lots of celebrations and PRIZES!! I think we set a record for prizes given out! Here are our top sellers: $1000 Tiffany Almeida $900 Diana Wick $ 800 Cara Payzant $ 600 Deborah Lambert Audrey Martinez $ 500 Lili Aguilera Deborah Ramos Kimberly Walker $ 400 Jaynee Fox $300 Tammy Thibodeau RaeLynn Snyder Angenlica Ortiz Rayelyn Carter Heather Carlson Bonnie Jones Anne Marie Hile Total Team Sales: 18,196.24 And we had so many new faces!

But, Stampin' Up ha made it available for us in April and our customers in May! It's a GREAT option for product based classes. Check out all the details on the Demo side of the SU page. Eastern Palace Suite As you know, the Eastern Palace suite of products will be available to our customers in May. I will be sending you eh May Tutorial Bundle which will also feature this bundle. Stampin' Up has designed a complete class for you as well! Why not plan a class!! One thing to remember- you as a Demo can order it in the bundle or "a la cart" in April. But, once May 1st hits, both Demos and customers can only order it as the bundle!  Stampin' Up added lots of goodies to the Clearance Rack this week. Let your customers know! I got several orders the day I announced it from customers buying up the discounted items!  New Catalog Pre Order coming this week!!  Here are the details from SU: Your complimentary copy of the 2017-2018 annual catalog will be included with your first demonstrator order between May 2 and May 14. If you don’t place a demonstrator order during that time, your catalog will ship the week of May 15 via standard (bulk) mail, which can take up to three weeks to deliver. Keep the following in mind, as well: Mailing selector ends April 30, so be sure to finalize your lists by then.  On May 2, ordering will be unavailable from midnight to 3:00 AM (MT) while we transition our systems to the new catalog. Ordering will be restored sooner, if possible. Eight-packs of catalogs will be available to purchase and redeem with flex points beginning May 2. If important information about the catalog comes up, we may post updates outside of our normal Weekly Updates, so be sure to check in on the demonstrator website the days before the preorder begins. Get all the details about the upcoming launch of the 2017-2018 annual catalog on the Catalog Details page.
