Marketing & Business Support Package
Upon successful completion of your selected course(s), you will become accredited by The Keepsake Co and awarded the right to operate your business under license of The Keepsake Co brand. Here you will benefit from our national marketing activities and from being part of a larger, well respected organisation. Unlike a Franchise, we do not charge large management fees or royalties for the use of our trademark. However, we do offer many of the benefits of a Franchise - without any of the high costs and restrictions!
Our Marketing and Business Support Package is available to you primarily, on a ‘pay as you earn’ basis, and consists of the following key elements:
License Fee & Support and Development Agreement
This small monthly fee grants you the right to continue working under license of The Keepsake Co. It also goes towards our support and development costs, helping us to keep The Keepsake Co out in front! Part of this fee is also paid directly to your mentor to help them support and guide you when you need advice in developing your business.
In addition, you will gain access to our central purchasing system- a one-stop shop for the supply of materials, where you will benefit from large discounts through our group buying power.
Our Support and Development Agreement provides many additional benefits:
• Economies of Scale – through group buying power.
• Access to our central purchasing system – one stop-shop
for all your material supplies.
• Access to the newest products, materials and keepsake technologies
at discounted prices.
• Full advice and support from within the company.
• Access to company meetings to inspire, inform and discuss our
future as a company and to share ideas with fellow Consultants.
• Regular newsletters, tips and updates.
• Discounted rates on supplies and selected new training courses.
• Access to our professional design services.
• Affordable printing of leaflets and promotional material.
Senior Keepsake Consultant £50 per month
Master Keepsake Consultant £100 per month
Lead Referral Agreement
We invest heavily in promoting The Keepsake Company, via internet advertising,
print-media and attending national Baby Shows etc. Unlike a Franchise,
we do not charge any marketing levy’s or deduct any royalties
or commissions on your earnings. We simply charge a small referral fee
per lead/enquiry that we forward on to you. However, you pay us nothing
for any self-generated leads. Here, you’ll benefit from our national
marketing activities, but only pay for the bits that actually work for
you!
Cost: £10 per lead/enquiry (Invoiced Monthly)
Upgraded Personal Web-page
As part of your Keepsake Consultant Training, your details will automatically
be added to the ‘Post-code Finder’ section of The Keepsake
Co Website, enabling local customers to find you. However, for a small
administrative fee, we are happy to upgrade this entry to create your
own personal web-page, which will feature more detailed information
about you and the services you can offer, along with a listing of any
regular venues that you may attend. It can also include a photograph
to help make your page more inviting and personal!
Cost: £150 Set-Up Fee
Print-Ready Marketing Templates
We have absorbed the cost of expensive design fees for all of our leaflets, postcards and promotional materials so that you don’t have to! You can benefit from this by registering to have all of these professionally designed templates delivered to your desk-top! In addition, this includes a number of pre-written Letter Templates, Email Templates and Party Information Pack’s to enable you to hit the ground running!
