a Meadowbrook Creations business
This is NOT a franchise
You operate your own business under your own business name
And you operate your business your way, not by some arbitrary rules we set up
There are no ongoing franchise fees. Other than the original license fee, you are not obligated to pay us another dime, ever
The same type of successful business that took us years to build can be yours in just a few weeks
You start with a collection of up to 30 products...
... together with all the plans, cut lists, templates, etc. needed to build them.
... together with marketing tools such as a professionally developed web site, and full color catalogs and brochures needed to sell them.
... represented by professional quality photography. This customer's comments say it all - "I did visit other sites selling similar products. I chose yours based on quality of photography and craftmanship, ease of use of the Website, and because there was a good amount of information to be found on your Website".
... together with the national best seller that is the best marketing book I have ever read. It is full of how-to's and tips that helped my wife and I build a successful stay-at-home business making over $100,000 per year with only basic woodworking skills.
Our products have proven themselves...
... to have worldwide appeal. Shaker furniture in general is one of the most popular styles of furniture in the world because it never goes out of style and it complements most other styles of furniture and decor.
... to be popular all year long. Our products sell just as well in the middle of a snowy winter as in the long, hot days of summer. Building our furniture and accessories is a year-round business.
... to spawn many custom projects. The professional quality photos and breadth of furniture offered on our web site and in our marketing materials tend to spur people's imagination, often asking for custom pieces to be built. In fact, many of our products came about as the result of customers requests.
One of the biggest benefits is that this is a cash-up-front business. You don’t have to worry about chasing down customers that owe you money because they pay you up front. The model we chose to use was this: 100% if the item sells for less than $100 and is expected to be delivered in 30 days or less; otherwise we take a 50% deposit with the balance being due when the piece is completed.
This business model is also one that easily grows with you, allowing you to "keep your day job" and start part-time if you wish.
This business model also allows you to set your own schedule and number of hours worked. Maybe you are retired and just want to supplement your income without having to work full time again. What if you get too busy? Keep reading...
