there appears to be THREE levels of fees being charged by Chocolate
Fountain companies: Cheap, Medium and High End.
- Cheap ranges
from £199 - £350
- Medium from
£450 - £650
- High
End from £700 +
The Course is designed and orientated for
Part-time or Full-time operators to charge within
the medium price band - around the £500-650 mark per event or
function (a night).

Why
around this 'medium' pricing structure?
There
are MANY reasons, but here are just a few:
1.
Sustainable income
Operators charging anything less than £500 per event/function
are NOT making sustainable money/income for themselves (after costs
etc., are taken out, in other words a net amount).
2. Price wars
Within
the Cheap ranges (£199 - £350) there is a price war
with operators undercutting each other on a daily basis. As a direct
result, in this price range you will see quite a few 'businesses'
up for sale on such sites as e-Bay. There is a good chance a Bride
or a Corporate that has booked one of these Chocolate Fountain companies
may not see the Chocolate Fountain company at their event or function
- "Gone Out of Business". From our surveys, operators that are quoting these prices stay within the Chocolate Fountain business anywhere from 5 months to 13 months - before quitting.
3.
Reinvestment of Profits
Competition is good for business, but so is the Profit in this business.
Reinvestment back into ones
business is also good (for all concerned). At the 'Cheap' -end of the market useable
or meaningful profits cannot be ploughed back into the business to sustain growth.
The profits are very limited and tend to be just a few pounds, hardly
worth investing back. Those charging within the Medium and High
end brackets can and tend to invest sizable amounts to improve their
services and facilities on offer. This can and does benefits all
- clients and operator.
4.
Making a comfortable living
With all the government taxes, rules and regulations, it is becoming
(overall) harder and harder to make a comfortable living. £500-700+
per event or function enables the entrepreneur to make a comfortable
living plus invest back into the business. In the Seminar/course
we demonstrate how to make with just ONE Chocolate Fountain machine
in excess of £100,000 per annum - a more than comfortable
living!
The
first part of the seminar includes a long session on Finance, covering all aspects of finance from; how
much to charge (breaking down the various charging components) as well
as why to charge the amounts we do for an event.
Pricing is one of the key factors to making this business a success (and not going 'bust'). We also cover why NEVER to get a Bank loan, NEVER to use your credit cards, NEVER ask family and friends for finance and skirt round all "conventional" (and expensive) finance routes. We even have one section in the course entitled: "How to raise finance with out using a penny of your own". Our idea of you as a delegate, or I should say the premise we work from is:
You will have Lots of enthusiasm,
None or little money to invest,
but want to make money NOW from Chocolate Fountains
The LESS you have to invest of your OWN money, the more money you can make for yourself. Don't worry, we are NOT advocating some dodgy deals or anything remotely illegal or wrong! The ideas we show, demonstrate and advocate are legal, above-board, transparent and perfectly legitimate. It's how we and hundreds of others have started. It's all a matter of 'thinking-out-of-the-box'.
