First assignment was to create a flyer for my business idea and then to share it out and get feedback. Here it is. Feedback away...
I am also in the process of finding a space where I can offer these classes. In addition to offering regularly scheduled classes at a set location, I really want to be able to go to people who can't come to me (i.e. home-bound, nursing homes, etc.) and also I want to be able to go into schools and workplaces. I think outreach health and wellness services are where it's at - or where it will soon be - plus, I think people are more likely to create regular at-home practice if they learn how to practice at home. Does that make sense?
Possible spaces that I'm looking into include:
- The YMCA
- Hagerstown Community College
- The library (of course, but there may be some conflict of interest bits I'll need to navigate)
- Churches
- Fitness centers/Yoga studios
- Spas?
- Doctors' offices/counselors' offices, etc.
The other piece of research I had to do was into pricing models but you tell me, please, those of you who are reading this: which pricing model would you be more likely to commit to:
- The course model: you sign up for a 6-week course (i.e. Introduction to Qigong pt. 1) for which you pay a flat fee of $125. Six classes total. You can then choose to sign up for another 6-week course (i.e. Introduction to Qigong pt. 2), for which you pay the same fee. Etc.
- The tuition model: you sign up for a one-year contract during which time you can take up to 3 classes per week at set days and times. You pay monthly $150.
- The pay-per-class model: you show up at the advertised days and times and pay on the spot $10. No long term commitment.
Are there other pricing models I'm missing?
Other things I'm thinking about that maybe you can help with:
- Is it too soon to sign up for a PO Box for my business?
- Should I form an LLC first before all else? How do I do that?
- Should I go ahead and get a mock website up since I have the domain?
- Is there an order of operations that most start-ups follow because I feel like I'm kinda hen-pecking?
Insights and guidance are welcome...
