Calling all yoga teachers....here is your opportunity to be part of something big and start your own business!!!!
How do I start? Your first step is to take our 25 hour training course. The next training is at Breathe Joy Yoga in the Boston area on Oct. 2 and 3rd, 2010. Please learn more by clicking on the certification tab. Need to stay overnight to take the training? Call us for local hotels and rates.
What exactly is a Pretzel Kids licensee and what opportunities does this present? When you "license" rights to a brand, such as Pretzel Kids®, you are given permission to use a company's name, logo, and other materials/technology for a fee. Typically this fee is paid upfront and then renewable annually. Licensing a PK business gives you the rights to use our materials, manual, logos, songs, and website for listing your information and classes. You will also get class registration forms, parent letters, and more to teach and successfully run your Pretzel Kids classes. Licensing the PK brand also gives you instant credibility in the marketplace and minimizes your advertising and marketing needs. Essentially, we help you build your business and give you access to a growing brand supported by a knowledgeable and trained staff. Part of your licensing fee also includes yearly updates to our materials, which include new teaching tools, games and proprietary information as it becomes available.
What does it cost to license the PK brand? The weekend training fee of $599 includes your first year's licensing fee. After that, the license may be renewed each year for a minimal cost. The training fee also includes our proprietary Pretzel Kids manual and tools for business success start-up packet. For only $599 you are on your way to building your own business!
What's the difference between a license and a franchise? When you purchase a franchise, the start-up costs typically run in the thousands and ongoing charges are much higher. Many franchises insist that you have a physical storefront to run the branded business, which requires even more associated costs and overhead. A license, on the other hand, requires substantially lower start-up costs and ongoing operating costs, fewer restrictions on where you can run classes, low annual fees, and the ability to turn a profit in a matter of months if not weeks!
Where can I run my Pretzel Kids classes: ANYWHERE! Because you don't need a physical space of your own, you can offer classes at gyms, recreation centers, YMCAs, church basements, yoga studios, karate/dance studios, scouting troops, summer camps, schools, daycare centers, parks, homeschooling groups, and more!
What kind of income potential is there for me? This varies. Like any other type of entrepreneurial business/start-up, you get out of it what you put into it. Generally speaking, however, your income will be determined by the number of classes you teach and the number of students enrolled in your classes. You can earn a full-time income by running multiple classes, or you can have a fulfilling part-time business. It's up to you.
Besides classes, are there other potential revenue streams? Other lucrative revenue streams include birthday parties, health fairs, and other workshops and events. In addition, PK instructors will soon be able to purchase PK branded merchandise at a wholesale price to resell to those participating in PK classes and events.
What type of support will I have from Pretzel Kids corporate? After your training, where we supply you with the curriculum and tools to run successful classes, we are always available to support you. Just call us at 781-784-4848 or email us at info@pretzelkids.com. In addition, we will supply you with updates to our materials and keep you posted on opportunities in your area via email and newsletters . We also support the brand through our advertising and social networks (see Pretzel Kids on Facebook!)
Will PK corporate help me secure teaching jobs? As our brand grows and awareness for our high quality Pretzel Kids classes heightens, we are receiving more calls from people seeking PK teachers. When these calls come in, we pass along job leads to licensed teachers! In other instances, we may call you to teach a class arranged through PK corporate. In yet other cases, we will help you secure teaching jobs by talking to potential employers and reviewing your marketing materials. The bottom line: we are here to help you achieve success! To speak directly to a licensed PK teacher about their experiences, please call us and we are happy to put you in touch with a current teacher.

What is the market potential?
As many of us know, childhood obesity is on the rise. Healthy living, starting with kids, is at the forefront of national attention. Even First Lady Michelle Obama has made getting kids healthy and fit a top priority. To boot, even in a down economy, children's classes are recession-proof. Parents may cut back on their own expenses, but they do not want to deprive their children of enriching classes and activities. Combine these two market factors -- a renewed national emphasis on getting/staying fit and a recession proof child enrichment industry -- and Pretzel Kids is a powerful solution to what parents are looking for today! Pretzel Kids offers a non-competitive, non-judgemental fitness and yoga curriculum that helps promote healthy, balanced and happy kids. At Pretzel Kids, we are committed to helping children achieve success and feel good about who they are. We are dedicated to helping children build self-esteem and establish healthy fitness habits through our supportive curriculum and classes. Join us!
