It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
As some of you are aware, Stampin’ Up! (a decorative rubber stamp party plan company) recently introduced a small sampling of vinyl lettering and images. Although it is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, with this introduction, they are requiring that Demonstrators who represent both Stampin’ Up! and any other company offering decorative lettering make a choice between their two businesses. Our heartfelt concern goes out to our Uppercase Living Demonstrators who are affected – the position that Stampin’ Up! has put you in is a difficult one, in that you not only have to choose between two great product lines, but have to choose between two wonderful teams that you have built.
Although Stampin’ Up! now offers a supplemental line of decorative expressions, we do not consider this competition with our core products and therefore don’t feel that being an independent salesperson for both companies is a conflict. Over the past six months, we have been exploring our philosophy on dual demonstrating and have been working on a more open policy that allows you freedom to represent other companies when core product lines are different. (A new Demonstrator Agreement reflecting this position will be implemented very soon.) Whenever possible, we are happy to accommodate and welcome all who would like to join our Uppercase Living community.
The founders of Uppercase Living started this company nearly five years ago, and have worked diligently to become the proven leader in decorative expressions and baby wall decals. Based on this expertise we plan to lead this industry for years to come. We offer over 30 colors, hundreds of expressions, and hundreds more embellishments available in a wide variety of sizes, as well as our MyDesign Tool that allows unlimited custom creativity to give your customers thousands of options. We continue to research and develop exciting new offerings that we can bring you in the future.
