Business Considerations

Q. Why is Keepsake Names a success?

A. I believe there are four key elements to the
success of Keepsake Names Prayer Names:

1. God has ordained it to be a success.

2. People like to see their names in print.

3. We have Top Quality material, Beautiful Pictures and every Prayer Name, first or last, is a Keepsake Name Exclusive.

4. The fact is that Keepsake Names Prayer Names really are an easy sell – no pressure, no great sales ability, JUST SHOW THEM!!
and SHOW THEM!! and SHOW THEM!!

Q. Can someone who is not really a “salesperson” sell Keepsake Names?

A. The question is not, can you sell; the question is, can you show people your product? I believe most of us fit somewhere between the person who could sell The Brooklyn Bridge and the one who could not sell dollar bills for a dime each. Our question to you is: “If you have a wonderful way to bless, encourage, uplift, witness to and help others to obtain Jesus-honoring gifts and make money, can you show people your product?” If your answer is yes, then Keepsake Names is for you.

Q. Do I have to purchase prints and supplies from Keepsake Names®?

A. No. You are the Independent Sales Consultant and have the choice to purchase from us, other sources, or to create your own. If you purchase the large package we will supply you with a display sample of our Keepsake Names exclusive prints and 100 sheets of the paper we use, that’s a $20.00 value. We are confident that when you see the quality of our material combined with the low cost and high selling price, plus the low volume you are required to purchase, that you will make the decision to purchase from us.

Q. What can be deducted as business expenses?

A. If your purchase from us is 100% for business, then it is 100% deductible. You should also contact your Small Business Administration, The Internal Revenue Service, or other services. They will provide you with packets of information on how to get started right and set up your business. This will include all allowable tax deductions.

Q. Do I need a sponsor and what do I get if I refer someone?

A. No, you do not need a sponsor. From the beginning all income to us has been from direct sales. As we said earlier, we want to afford anyone the opportunity to promote Keepsake Names Prayer Names, so in an effort to keep EACH PERSONS COST LOW AND PROFIT HIGH we have not “built-in” profit from your sales for anyone but you.
Each person’s success with Keepsake Names Prayer Names will depend on direct sales.
We do offer you $25.00 to say “Thank You” for your referrals that make a purchase of the large package Within 90 days of your purchase.

Q. Will Keepsake Names meet my needs?

A. As with any venture you consider, be it a full-time career, part-time job, ministry or hobby, you should weigh the advantages and decide whether it meets your needs. Here are some essential points to consider about Keepsake Names.

1. We are trying to afford everyone the opportunity to experience the rewards of blessing the lives of people by introducing them to Keepsake Names Prayer Names, as well as make money!

2. You will have Top Quality gift items for Weddings, Anniversaries, Birthdays, New Babies, Secret Pals, Baptisms, First Communions, Special Friends, Family names AND MORE, FOR YOUR OWN GIFT GIVING YEAR ROUND, or as an Independent Sales Consultant, you will have the means to make this become what you want it to be.

3. You will have the flexibility to schedule your work around family and other commitments.

Q. Will I be able to meet my financial goals as an Independent Sales Consultant?

A. The fact is that you can start making money the very first day you receive your program from Keepsake Names–IF YOU START SHOWING PEOPLE WHAT YOU HAVE. Consider these examples:

• A school bus driver called and said she had NEVER SOLD anything in her life but decided to SHOW the other drivers the sample she had and told them how it works and ended up with eleven orders.

• A call was received in 1993 from a lady in Rincon, Georgia, who received a Prayer Name as a gift from her mother, who had seen one that her neighbor had. The lady saw our sticker that says “individual gifts and group fund raisers” with our phone number. She took her Prayer Name to church just to SHOW others and see if there would be an interest. When she called us for information on how the fund raiser worked, she already had 43 orders for Prayer Names.

Using our full display setup, my wife, Diane, and I have both together and separately had one day shows that have netted us more than the cost for the whole package we are offering.
With 12 years part-time and many years full-time, I could give many, many, more examples of the acceptance of Keepsake Names Prayer Names and WITHOUT ANY DISCLAIMER AT ALL I CAN SAY THAT SUCCESS WILL DEPEND LARGELY ON YOUR SHOWING THEM!! and SHOWING THEM!! and SHOWING THEM!!

Each person will have to start by answering this question, “What am I willing to do to reach my financial goal?” It is true that you can work as little as you like–but the bigger your financial goal, the more time and effort you’ll probably have to put into your business to realize your desired results.

Q. What would the Startup cost?

The Startup will include your Program to create Keepsake Names Prayer Names, the Keepsake Names Prayer Verses for people to use when creating their Prayer Names, plus other forms for taking and placing orders. The cost for the entire package is $140.00.

Would like to show pictures of our 1^st brochure (do not use the wedding picture unless you can switch a picture.)

Statement

We started with the 3 roses, parchment, and many cut-outs as pictured! We soon began adding pictures until we reached what we are offering today.

We did continue with the cut-outs and offered them as “special priced items.”

As the business grew, we stopped the cut-outs only because of the time required. We purchased the fabric from our local fabric store. The only real problem we encountered was when a Mother-Grandmother would want the same cut-out for the NEW Grand baby and we found out that pattern was no longer available. “Be polite and come up with “the best-selling cut-out at the present time.”

When presenting Keepsake Names, along with your award winning smile, you will need several samples to display with matting and frame. This will help complete the “Finished Look” for the potential customer.

Your large 3 ring binders with the plastic inserts work great so people can view all options. One for 8” x 10” pictures – one for 10” x 8” pictures – one for 5” x 7” pictures and one for parchment.

Note: Remember that almost all of the parchment can be cut for the 5” x 7”.

Some pre-printed Prayer Names from all the options sizes will also help put the completed picture in the head of those who are looking – as already stated. The addition of matting and frame will make a positive statement.

Dianne and I want to share with you what we have learned as we went along so you will not have to learn everything as you go.

One of the first things we did when we started going outside of our home was to purchase several thousand colorful bags for people to put their Prayer Names in. That worked where everything was neat and tidy. However, when we did our 1^st Fair, we replaced many Prayer Names that had been taken out to read or show someone ended up with about everything imaginable on the prints that a Fair would produce.

That’s when we invested in plastic bags and stiff backing.

Folding the bag to fit the print and backing and securing with a small strip of clear tape keeps everything clean and flat while allowing it to be handled without damage.

Another “must” to achieve top quality print is to have good quality paper. We could buy the best paper offered by our local office supply store at $19.95 per 100 – one hundred sheets. The end result well worth the results.

After meeting a local distributor, I started buying in bulk. Our 1 and 1/2 car garage was converted into what looked like a mail room filled full with mattes & pictures, boxes & other supplies. Our ability to purchase in bulk allows us to offer savings to you.

Once you purchase the software we will give you a link to our PDF of prayer verses for you to use in your business.

We also offer Paper Packages for ease of buying and top quality products, please click here to view our paper package selection.
