Every year, you can expect lists to come out about everything. This year’s top 10 lists include some of the most enlightening revelations about business and the direction business is going. In a recent report, fast food, janitorial services and delivery services seem to be the peak of 2006. How does Rivky’s Art Workshop stand up to those?
When you are looking at franchise opportunities, you have to take yourself into account. A major mistake among most new entrepreneurs is the notion that business must be done the way it always has been done. What about your time with your family? What about building your client base into long term, repeat customers who are more like friends than patrons? What about running a business out of your own home?
There are trends in the business world and I have a hunch that most of these new trends were started by individuals who never spent one day in a business class. Otherwise, opening up at the break of dawn and closing way after dusk would be their idea of a business. Having customers stampede in like a heard of cattle, buy their products and leave in business like fashion would be their dream come true. Leasing or buying a building and packing it with inventory would be their business model.
Subway seems to top the list in just about every category. Lists include Top 10 of 2006, Best of the Best, and Fastest Growing among others. Subway opens early in the morning, closes long after dinner and requires a constant inventory. For a customer, it’s great. For an entrepreneur, it’s a nightmare. You have to have employees who know what they are doing and don’t make too many mistakes on a daily basis. You need a constant supply of inventory. And the long hours you’ll be keeping will make your family life virtually non-existent.
Most franchise opportunities work this way. But even if they don’t, there are other factors involved. A janitorial service is the type of business that you can run pretty much at your own hours. If you are cleaning people’s homes, you can set the time that you’ll be there. Make it any time throughout the day that is good for you. But, there’s not much chance for multiplication. You can only do one home at a time. And if you’re doing office buildings, you might be working late into the evening because you won’t be able to clean during office hours.
There is always so much to think about when you are searching for the perfect franchise opportunity. That’s why Rivky’s Art Workshops are really more ideal than any other. You set the times that you are going to be holding your workshops. So, you can have a family life and run your workshops too. You don’t need much inventory. Art supplies are fairly cheap and students can be expected to buy their own, unless you want to give them art supplies as a bonus. You get to know your customers by their name and soon you know so much more about them than that. You can build repeat business and word-of-mouth business through your client base who has actually turned out to be more like a family than merely customers.
The most awesome part about running an art workshop is the multiplicity factor. You can have several students in one class. A class can last for 45 minutes to an hour and a half depending on you. So, you have multiplied your earning potential from an hourly wage to your fee times the number of students you accept in one class. The math is phenomenal. Run a few classes a week and you are making more than the pour soul working his fingers to the bone to keep his Subway open.
There are many other factors that make Rivky’s Art Workshop the most ideal franchise opportunity. But if you think about the ones listed here, you’re already interested. You have time to do other things. You have a client base that grows by the day through word of mouth. You have loyal repeat business. Work anywhere you desire. Running art workshops in your home isn’t at all too difficult. Rivky’s Art Workshops meet today’s business trends with absolute perfect conclusion.
