I am interested purchasing product from Stamping Up!. I would also like to participate in their card making classes. My problem is that I have requested to have multiple consultants in my area contact me through their company website. I always get an automatic reply to my text stating that they will be in touch with me soon. :::crickets:::
Does anyone have an insight or suggestions on how to reach a local consultant? Is this a common problem?

I met a consultant last year that was selling her cards at a Craft Fair I attended. I now go once a month to her classes. I also wonder if many of them just sell and don't hold classes. That was how my last consultant was.

Have you tried reaching out on the Stampin Up social media? I don't know what they have, but if they have a FB, that might be a good place to start?

For purchasing products, you can purchase thru the website without a consultant. You don't really get any additional benefits like product discounts or free shipping with a demo.
As far as attending classes, you may need to expand your consultant search to a wider area. I would recommend looking at the consultants "website". If there is noting listed on it about classes and it's all the standard automated SU stuff, I'd assume they are a hobby demo and move on to another.
In my experience, for every 10 demos listed on the website as being local, only 2 are active, class focused, recruiting type demos which sounds like what you are looking for.

Well, if I let my local demo order stuff for me at the same time she orders for herself and others, she often ears the shipping charges. At worst, they’re amongst a larger group. Their shipping is steep, iirc.
If you want to order because you’ve seen them in videos, you could order online with that demo, just to throw the business their way if you like their projects.
Many SU demos are active on social media. I sort of accidentally found one recently who’s almost/maybe close enough to my office to consider her in person classes after work.
Many also offer classes remotely, though you lose the benefit of using the demo’s tools and supplies.

I am a demonstrator, but mostly hobby. In other words, I get a discount on my orders. LOL Holding classes is a lot of work. And I think a lot of demos went totally online in 2020.
If you want to share your location, I can see if I know of anyone around you. If you don't, I totally understand.

Just a thought --
the model Stampin Up uses - giving a percentage (20% minimum??) to the demo makes little sense to the consumer now that everything is online. If a demo isn't going to provide in person classes and get togethers then the rationale for buying SU ends (for me).
What I would do - if I wanted SU products - Become a demo once a year and buy up all you want and let it lapse.
