Does anyone heard o Stampin Up and Kaszazz. I can't beside which one to join. Enlightened me please. Thank you

Question

I recently went to a stamp work shop and paid $15.00. A demonstrator from "Stampin Up co. showed us how to make a card that we can take at home also give me an idea of how to earn money working doing this stuff and at the same time paying for your hobby. It was all ok until I came across Kaszass who does the same thing but charges less to join cost $250 where as Stampin up cost $300 'til 15th of Aug. then will be back to $325.00 after the promo ends. It's hard to compare the product that comes with the kit when you join because Stampinup doesn't itemized the prizes of each products like Kaszazz does. It even gets more confusing because Kaszazz doesn't have Conpensation Plan were as Stampin Up does so it gets harder to compair. Then there is Demonstrator incentive a freebee when you join Kaszazz plus is an Aussie Co. but Stampin up is not. Maybe it will help you can check out the website of each of them by going to http://www.kaszazz.com/. I want to do this because I can use this to help fund raise for the disadvantage children like the one that I already donating to "Robinns' Nest" and I can only help them when I make money because my husband is the only one who is earning money and I don't want to put pressure on him to work even harder to pay for my hobby so if I earn money doing the thing I enjoy, I'm happy and he's happy. Bear in mind that the Stampin Up lady who will be my up line will be movin to Melborne where us Kaszazz is staying put and will only take 30 mins trip to travel plus she said I can borrow all of the products that I need, (both of them said that). If you're on my position, base on the info I give which one would you join? Thank you for your help, it is greatly appreciated. God Bless you. Chloe

Answer 1

I live in the midwest US. I have been in scrapbooking and rubbing stamping for over 10years and have never heard of Kaszazz. Stampin UP and Close to My Heart are the two main stamping companies. CTMH is clear stamps, Stampin' Up is wooden blocks. I like SU better for their stamps, but clear stamps are so much easier to use.

I have had friends work for both companies and have no complaints about either. You do have to keep sending in orders. So check how often you need to send in an order to stay a consultant and how much the order has to be for.  

Answer 2

I am biased because I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator based in Adelaide, so from that point of view would say "go with Stampin' Up!".  Of course with all these things it is a personal decision, but some things which might help.… Firstly, with the SU starter kit you receive over $560 worth of product for (until 15th August) $299. I'm not sure how that compares with Kaszazz in terms of value of product.  The SU starter kit also includes everything you need to get your business going.  The SU product is lovely to work with, and even if you didn't have an upline nearby to work with the demonstrator support service is excellent, plus you receive regular newsletters with tips and advice.

My sister-in-law has been using Kaszazz product for some time now, but took up the opportunity to become an SU demonstrator because SU offers different products to Kaszazz.  So I guess it also depends on what it is you want to do.  Definitely if you are interested in card making then I would say go with SU as that is our specialty.  

Hope this helps somewhat.
