DIYframing Courses

Business Development Day 130/Mar/2009

---

This is a one day course, running from 10.00 am - 5.00 pm.  This is the first of two business development days, which along with a second day and 5 practical workshops, forms the Business Development week.  The two business development days can be purchased without any of the other workshops and will provide a strong foundation in how to organise, plan and start a framing business.

 

 Q What previous experience should I have?


The Business Development days are aimed at people starting out with framing who have decided to explore the possibility of starting a new business venture.  In some cases it will be a completely new challenge, whereas for others it will lead to the development of an additional income source, running alongside complementary services such as photography or running an arts based retail outlet.

If you are signing up for just business days, it is helpful if you iether have some experience already of framing or have completed our two entry level courses:

 

BASICS OF FRAMING

MOUNT CUTTING AND DECORATION

 

 Q What will the course cover?

Business Development Day 1 has the overall brief to start the process of planning the way forward.  During that day we use seminars, discussion, activities and set aside time to make a start with organising your own thoughts.  The areas covered are:

  • An introduction to the framing process, the tools of the trade and considerations that need to be taken into account at each step of of the process;
  • Gathering information about starting a business;
  • Creating a development plan so that targets and deadlines are met;
  • Considerations for creating a framing workshop (at home or in business premises)
  • Possible pricing structures and how to "cost" a framing job;
  • Considerations to do with staffing
  • Choosing suppliers

Q What do I need to bring with me?

There is no need to bring any special items for the two Business Development Days.
