Income
Possibilities
Like many
businesses, this ceramic business can be whatever you make out of it (The more
you market, the more business you will bring in).
I truly believe that you can pay off your start-up costs and make a
profit your first year, which is great compared to any starting business that
take 2-3 years to break even. One
of the wonderful aspects of marketing with this type of business is that once
you make an appointment, you don’t have to try and sell the plaques to the
parents, the beautiful and precious ceramic impression samples will sell
themselves since parents view them as special and unique keepsakes. What is wonderful about this business is
that you can really take this business wherever you wish...only work part
time and take a few appointments a week, hosting events at baby
stores, with schools, opening a studio; the possibilities are endless. The
amount of money you make will depend on how many hours you work and how many imprints
events and appointments you have for that month. Average
individual toddler appointment: $95 Average
individual newborn appointment: $145 Average
individual appointment with 3 kids: $250 Average Imprints
Party (6 moms): $500 Average Large
event at a baby store (20 appointments): $2,000 What is so
special about our training is that you will receive templates and you will
learn to create classic design plaques (trains, boats, surfboards, etc.) that
sell for $20-$25 more per plaque than squares, circles and rectangles. Your overall
sells will depend on your business goals and how many hours you would like
to work. My current hourly rate is $45 per hour. At the beginning, your hourly
rate will be lower, but as you gain more practice you will increase your
speed at designing, glazing, appointments, imprints parties, etc.
Like any business you have to invest money to
make money. The realistic start-up costs will be approximately $10,000, which
will cover training, purchase of a kiln and kiln furniture, upgrade to your
electricity at your home, and cost of your permits. All of the manual tools to
create the plaques will be included as part of your package, including a
start-up supply clay, glaze, brushes, ribbons, and everything else that you will need to create the
plaques and start your business. You may invest in
an office desk, ceramic work desk and drying shelf, but you don't
need these to start your business. In the beginning I worked on a
small folding table and dried my plaques in boards under my bed, couch, dressers,
and this worked fine until I was able to make up my start-up costs and invest
more in the business.
