Taking SU! overseas?
Hi all... just mostly thinking out loud here, but would love any input...
About 4 years ago or so when I first really really got into SU and stamping, my friend that got me interested was really intent on getting me to sign up as a demo. I was really intrigued and thought it would be a lot of fun, but shortly thereafter we got pregnant and it suddenly didn't fit into my plans anymore.
Anyway, I'm living overseas in Hong Kong now and I know there would be a huge market for stamping here, and there are tons of expat wives with money to burn... As far as I know, there is only ONE scrapbooking store here, and the markup is rediculous. I've only ever bought 3 stamps there in the whole 2.5 years we've been here.
One of my friends mentioned tonight that she thought I would be great as a demo, and would already have clientele if I did workshops at the local international high schools or something. So I've been mulling it over and think it would work. The only problem I'm coming across is shipping... I think it would cost an arm and a leg to ship all the orders etc. from the US. I don't go back to the States very often, and so wouldn't have the luxury of carrying it with me in my luggage...
Any ideas? Should I just scrap the idea for now? Is SU planning to go global anytime soon? Any other possiblities to make this a reality?
Thanks!
