Am I free Join your Business Club, but to operate my Business independently, under my own name?
Absolutely! All of our Club Members are operating Businesses independently! So by joining us, you will be setting up your own business, with your own unique branding and trading name. You will be self employed, with no franchise fees, targets or sales royalties! You will therefore be completely free to market and run your own business as you see fit. However, you will be working within the security of our support-network – so there is always someone there to encourage you and help your business to grow! Although Club Membership is not compulsory – there are many benefits – so it pays to sign-up!
Will I need any specialist equipment to start my Business?
Yes! However, the equipment you will require will be dependent upon which Training Courses you attend and therefore which products you wish to offer your Customers. You will not require a kiln for producing 3D Casts or Stone Impressions, however this will be essential if you wish to offer any of the Silver Jewellery or Ceramic Keepsakes.
Please refer to the Starter-Kits Section of our website for further information or download our ‘Starter-Kits Information Pack’.
Do I have to purchase my Starter Kits before I come on the Course?
No, this is entirely up to you. However, if you wish to get started straight away then we would recommend it! Although we do keep all of the various raw materials in stock, there can often be a 3 week delivery-lead time on many of the kilns, as these are often made to order. Any delay in ordering your starter-kit could therefore delay the delivery of your kiln.
Do I have to purchase my raw materials through you?
No! You are entirely free to source your own materials. However, as a Business Club Member, you will be provided with full access to our on-line ordering system, which provides many benefits in terms of cost-saving and convenience. We provide a one-stop solution to your raw material requirements – saving you the time and expense of dealing with multiple suppliers.
And don’t forget! We reward you for any purchases you make with us, through Just for Keeps! Our Online Loyalty Recognition Programme!
What should I bring with me to the training course and what should I wear?
We suggest you wear comfortable clothes, such as jeans that you don’t mind getting a little messy. Although we provide a downloadable Training Manual based on each course/technique, most delegates find it useful to make their own notes too. So we suggest you bring a pen and paper!
I’m very interested! What do I need to do next?
Simply select the Training Courses that interest you most, then assuming you wish to benefit from our Club Services, including FREE Support, FREE Advertising and access to our Pring & Go and Click & Go Marketing Services - don’t forget to sign-up! You will then receive an automated e-mail confirming your booking.
