ICYMI Team Weekly Newsletter - February 24, 2023  Hello .  Welcome to our weekly Team Newsletter ICYMI (In Case You Missed It) This email will be sent out every Friday to all Team Members.  It will include information that has been shared in our facebook Team Group and anything that is
important from Stampin’ Up!  I know some of you avoid facebook, or don’t spend a lot of time there, so hopefully this will help you stay informed and in touch.  I will be away camping next week, and I don't know if the ICYMI Weekly Newsletter will go out. Then the following week (Mar 17) we will be visiting our Northern Family and it may not happen then
either. But once we are home it will revert to the normally schedule day and time. Â NEXT TEAM SOCIAL TIME Tonight, Feb 24! Â Join us on zoom or catch the live stream in our Team

You are welcome to apply even if you have already done it once. The only stipulations to the projects are, you must use the stamp set provided by me, and use ONLY current Stampin' Up! products and post weekly. If you would like to participate and get a free stamp
set, just send me an EMAIL and we will make it happen. I cover up to $30 for the stamp set, if it's more then you cover the difference, and you can use your downline dollars for this too.  Here's Terri's third card for the Beside Me stamp set.   EMAIL ME if you would like to be added to the Stamp Set Of The Month Ambassador List.  IMPORTANT DATES REGARDING THE NEW ANNUAL CATALOGUE  Get Ready for the New Catalog!We’re excited for the release of our new catalog and product offerings.

WORK Â SALE-A-BRATION
DEMONSTRATOR REWARDS Check your reports to make sure you are not missing out on any FREE Product Credits.  What to check? Log into the website Scroll down to the My Quick Stats section (bottom right corner) Check out your Qualifying Sale-a-Bration Sales   This will let you know how close you are to earning free product credits or how close you are to earning the next level of free product credits.  When you reach 500 CSV in sales, from January 5 to February 28, you will begin to earn Product Credits. To convert CSV into equivalent Canadian dollar value, just divide by .7611. So it equals approximately $656.94 (that's only
$330 ish a month) in product total. That can be your orders, customer orders, or a combination of both. Â At 500 CSV you will get 20 CSV in product credit, which is approximately $25.97 Canadian
dollars. And it goes up from that, until you max out at $3000 and earn 50 more CSV in product credit ($64.93). And these rewards are
cummulative, which means you keep the 20CSV when you reach the next level (1000CSV) and earn 25CSV more! Â So you could earn up to 135CSV - $175.31 in FREE PRODUCTS! Â And you will earn 25CSV for your first Team Member and 100CSV for your second one, during SAB. For a total of $162.33 more in FREE PRODUCTS! Â And don't forget, anyone who recruits during Sale-a-Bration will receive a FREE STAMP SET from me! Â I received 5 sets of Decorative Borders stamp set, and there are still 2 sets not spoken for. YOU CAN DO THIS! Â CLICK HERE to download the tracker.
