Karla Harris

Karla Harris, spent 13 years looking for the perfect work-from home opportunity - ever since the birth of her first daughter, Megan in 1995.

Any opportunities, she discovered were too high-cost and high-risk. She wanted an opportunity that would enable her to work part-time around the demands of her growing family.

Following the birth of Karla’s two additional Children, Zac (10) and Louis (6), Karla received a devastating blow in November 2008, when she lost her Baby Boy, Max, when he was just 2 days old.

At the time the hospital took hand and footprints of Max, which were later presented to Karla as a beautiful Keepsake, to commemorate his short-life.  Karla was so touched by this idea, she started to investigate how she may be able to offer a similar service to other families in her area.

After discounting a few Franchises due to high initial start-up costs, Karla discovered The Keepsake Consultancy and was thrilled as it offered exactly what she needed.
 
Karla says she was initially attracted by the company’s wide product range, which includes Casts and Impressions of Baby’s hands and feet – and Jewellery capturing children’s fingerprints, footprints or even artwork in pure fine silver.  But then it was the flexibility of the Business Opportunity which really appealed.

Karla explains: “The Keepsake Consultancy’s Business-in-a-Box Programme is fantastic, as it provides the training, support and all of the start-up tools you need including your own website  and print-ready marketing templates.”  Karla adds: “They provide you with everything you need to get started.  Without The Keepsake Consultancy it probably would have cost twice as much and taken twice as long.”

Michelle Williams, Keepsake Consultancy Director and Mother of two explains the background behind their innovative Start-Up programme:  “Many women desperately want to find something fulfilling which they can fit around their families.  Often they are deterred by high-franchise fees, which would put them under too much pressure.  Women today already have a huge burden attempting to juggle their home and work lives - so we wanted to create a Business Opportunity, which would help the average Mum start-out in Business.” 

The Keepsake Consultancy’s Business-in-a-Box therefore, includes a series of optional Training and Business Support Services, which enable operators to start their own home-based Keepsake Business from just £195 - £2600, depending upon which start-up option and Training Packages they select.

Karla enthuses: ”I think the best thing about this opportunity is the speed of the process.  After completing your training – you can be up and running within weeks. This is such a rewarding home-based business – I just wish I’d had this opportunity 13 years ago!”
