Simply Engaged: A new trend... tell us your thoughts...

Friday, January 27, 2012

We once blogged about the highly controversial 'Wedding List' trend and your reactions were vast and varied both for and against!

Well Simply Bows and Chair Covers have recently discovered an ever growing trend for 'Engagement Lists' among our bride to be's and want to know your thoughts...


As with the majority of our UK trends this new phenomenon has originated from the USA. It is becoming so popular that now that Debenham's has seen a doubling in the number of engagement lists registered by customers in the past year.

Wedding lists tradionally focus on items for the home; cookwear, bedding, towels and other not terribly thrilling items! The Engagement lists however seem to include the more romantic items available.... heart shaped cake tins, silver plated heart shaped photo frames etc, his and hers robes etc.

Ladies and gentleman... tell us what you think.... a delightfully romantic idea to celebrate the commitment that two people have made to each other... or a greedy excuse to get more presents in an ever-growing material world?!

Kenapa Harus Kartini?


Indonesia punya satu tannggal yang biasanya dijadikan momentum emansipasi wanita. Tanggal 21 April. Tanggal itu adalah tanggal dimana kita bisa mengenal sosok kartini lebih dekat.

Banyak pertanyaan atau sanggahan mungkin juga kritik. Kenapa harus kartini yang dipilih sebagai simbol emansipasi wanita Indonesia?

seperti kita ketahui dia adalah perempuan jawa yang sangat konvensional, taat kepada adat istiadat yang ada di daerahnya. Sebagai putri dari salah satu bangsawan di daerah saat itu, KArtini sempat mencicipi dunia modern pendidikan.

Semasa dewasa Kartini dikawinkan dengan seorang laki2 yang sudah mempunyai beberapa istri. Kartini dijadikan istri ke-empat. ini salah satu polemik yang akan membuat orang berpikir kenapa Kartini mau saja dijadikan madu, mengingat beliau adalah orang yang berpendidikan dan berpikiran maju. Tentu saja Kartini sangat gundah sebagai wanita yang sangat radikal pemikirannya dibandingkan perempuan2 jawa di masanya, Kartini mengalami masa dimana beliau harus tetap menuruti perintah Keluarganya karena dalam adat jawa perempuan digambarkan sebagai sosok yang penurut.

Kegundahannya itu dituliskan kepada sahabatnya yang ada di Belanda, tentang ketidaksukaannya dan pemikiran majunya mengenai gambaran perempuan yang bertolak belakang yang ada di daerahnya.

Kelak surat-suratnya itu dijadikan buku. Dimana perempuan yang jiwa dan raganya terkekang tapi mempunyai pemikiran yang luar biasa. Dia berbeda dengan perempuan lain karena dia menulis, menulis pemikiran hebat jauh melebihi masanya. dialah - Kartini, tanpa embel embel gelar apapun di namanya.

maka perempuan-perempuan Indonesia menulislah!!

NASA Denies Existence of UFO

Headline
Alien conspiracy theorists re-use images from the NASA space agency to prove it was a cover-up regarding UFOs. How?
This time, the 'weapon' used by the experts is video footage of existing telescopes on the spacecraft that NASA's STEREO-B is being 'parked' on the side of the sun which gives a 360 degrees in the inner solar system.
This video shows Venus, Earth and an object triangle that leads to Earth. "Compare them with a planetary object ever seen a telescope, the object is very large," said YouTube users 'BeePeeOilDisaster' comment on the video that was recorded on December 27 to 29 years ago.
News 'errata' from NASA then quickly emerged thereafter. A few days later, NASA scientists STEREO update the site with more recent images. This is not the first time u pembur aliens found what is believed to be UFOs.
"Peculiar feature in this video is Venus who enter the field of view of the lower left," said NASA scientists as 'rectify' the video was quoted as saying by FoxNews .
How do you think?

Simply looking for fabulous people: National Franchise Opportunities

Wednesday, January 18, 2012

Simply Bows and Chair Covers are frequently receiving enquiries for events in areas where we don't have an office... this is incredibly frustrating for both us and our brides/ event coordinators.

Our main hot spots for such enquiries currently are Edinburgh, Berkshire and Surrey.

Are you looking for a exciting new challenge our lifestyle business has to offer?

 

 Recruiting Franchisees

Our recruitment process has been designed to be informal and completely transparent so that you have all of the information about our franchise that you need to make an informed decision before there is any commitment.
The recruitment process takes place over two meetings. The first is to explain how the business operates and to give you some background information.
The second is for when you have decided the franchise is something you wish to pursue. Here we ask you to sign a confidentiality agreement and we will then disclose our contract supported by financial information.

Franchising

Franchising is now a well established industry with a successful track record, and you’re possibly already aware of some of the general potential benefits franchising offers, such as funding arrangements with most of the high street banks, operating your own business but with the ongoing support from the franchisor. As the franchise network grows additional benefits will include greater brand awareness which in turn generates more demand for your service. You’re in business for yourself but not by yourself.

The Simply Bows & Chair Covers Franchise

The franchise is described as a ‘lifestyle’ business because it allows you to have the flexibility to have a great lifestyle whilst working from home. Franchisees need to be confident about their business the service provided, and they must also enjoy meeting people, socialising and talking about the benefits of the service they provide. Our franchise is based around a franchisee working to provide the service in specific territories. Franchisees will be responsible for promoting the business as well as delivering the service. Each territory is protected, and this will allow individual franchisees to build up their businesses over the long term.
Our business format has been designed to be as simple and straightforward as possible therefore be managed by most people given the right training.

Our service

We provide high quality chair covers and table linen with a creative edge for people who wish to add a touch of glamour to their events. The UK has a vibrant and varied events calendar. Our clients range from event organisers, venues to private individuals booking their own wedding. Our services are in demand throughout the year and we have built up a preferred supplier status with many of our clients through the great work we have done regularly in their venues. We also get many referrals from our brides and other service providers in the industry.

Personal qualities required

We are dedicated to providing a high quality service that regularly exceeds customers expectations because we want repeat business and we want satisfied customers to tell others about our service. Our prime concern is to ensure that customers get value for money with a service that reflects well on their event. In order to succeed, you must have high personal standards and a commitment to providing a quality service.
In addition, you need to be organised, self motivated and have a determination to succeed. If you go ahead with this business, then the onus will be on you to manage it properly, giving it the attention it deserves. We will assist you with training and support, but you must be ready to work to develop and maintain the business at all times.

 Am I suitable?

Ideally, you will have some business experience, attention to detail, and of course understand the principles of good customer service. However, we offer a full training and support programme to assist with the development of these skills. You do need to be prepared to work hard, follow our systems and be fully committed to developing the business off the ground in your area.

What does the Simply Bows & Chair Covers Franchise offer?

The franchise offers all of the initial training and support that you need to help get your business off the ground. The first twelve months of any business is crucial, and our comprehensive franchise support service includes:
  • Use of the unique Simply Bows & Chair Covers brand
  • Pre opening support to establish the business
  • Assistance with the production of a business plan and raising finance, if it is required
  • An in depth induction training programme
  • Comprehensive local launch strategy, including marketing and promotional activities
  • Ongoing advice and support, with access to our in depth knowledge and experience
  • Stock
  • Marketing Collateral
  • A business operating manual (containing details of our operating systems, marketing, administration, etc)
  • Initial stationery pack
  • Uniform
  • Point of Sale

As a franchisee, what is my role?

As a franchisee, you will be responsible for the delivery of the Simply Bows and Chair Covers service. Marketing the business, dealing with client enquiries and of course solving any problems that you encounter are all part of the role of the franchisee. There is also an accounts and administration role which you will need to deal with effectively to ensure that the business is run smoothly. Most franchisees will appoint an accountant to support them in this area.

Do I get a defined territory which is also protected?

Everyone has their own defined and protected territory. We know the size of area that is required to make a viable business and will provide you with all the relevant information. As a franchisee you will be expected to respect the territory boundaries to protect your own business and that of your colleagues. 

If you would like more information on our franchise opportunities please contact Sarah on enquiries@simplybowsandchaircovers.co.uk
