Summary Description: 2005 has brought huge changes for High Country Home. What was once just a small company offering homemade soaps and pressed flowers has blossomed into a booming home furniture empire! Well, maybe not an empire quite yet, but we have sold a few hutches so far!

In order for us to stay focused on our furniture endeavors, we need to streamline our product offering. Instead of just dropping the line altogether, we decided to offer some of our home accessories lines as businesses in themselves. Last year we did this with our Homemade Soap Line with tremendous success for the buyer as well as us.

Our Stone Line was one of our first products, and has always been very popular in small shops, ski resorts, furniture & home accessory retailers, boutiques and with photographers. We currently manufacture three sizes of frames: 3x5, 4x6 and 5x7. A perfect complement to our frame is the aspen or oak leaf easel. Sales increased dramatically when we started offering these stands with the frames (see pictures below). We also sell square coasters in sets of four. Stone frames are very unexpected and timeless. They are perfect for cabins, a home on the coast, or mixed with other styles for an eclectic look. We have recently started marketing our stone in the promotional and corporate gifting industries, which shows much promise. There are so many possibilities; we just haven't had the time to pursue them!

This business could continue thriving as a wholesale company or you could explore new avenues selling retail to the public. There are throusands of retail shows throughout the country year round and this would be a great place to increase your profit margin by selling direct.

The hardest part about starting your own business is simply starting! If you are new to the gift industry, it can very intimidating to find customers, to figure out how to get the best prices on supplies, and how much to sell for! Then there's the initial inventory, marketing, and endless research! We have spent five years selling Stone Frames and Coasters, and have done the hard part for you. Read below for an outline of exactly what we are offering to help you have success from the start:

The_Opportunity: Customer DatabaseWe have a customer database of over 400 wholesale customers. These store owners/buyers work in or own shops from LA to NY. About 50 of these buyers have purchased Stone products from us before. Many of the others would but don't even know we offer it as we have mainly pushed our furniture for the past year and a half. You will receive our entire contact database in Excel format with customers who have purchase stone before highlighted. You are welcome to use our name when contacting these customers as an "in" with the buyers. Just a few of the customers in our database: Sears, Sundance Catalog, COSTCO, and RC Willey.

Catalog Pages  You will receive over 300 Stone catalog pages. These pages are full color - printed on high quality paper, and would make a great mailer to introduce your company as the new vendor for Stone Products formally offered by High Country Home. You will also receive the Adobe Illustrator file of the Stone Page to edit as you wish. Email me if you would like me to send you a file of the catalog page to view.

Art Fair Sourcebook  The secret is out. One of the many things we have learned through the years is that finding information regarding retail shows is next to impossible unless the show is put on by your sister or is in your own backyard. One of the huge advantages you will receive with this business is access to our Art Fair Sourcebook. We have purchased this for the upcoming year (2006) for over $300 and we will share the information with you. Simply call or email us to let us know the areas you would be interested in doing shows and we will give you the information! Whether you are looking to do a few, or a few hundred we can give you the information you need to apply, be accepted and do well in the retail industry.

Supply Information  You will receive an Excel file outlining all materials needed to create and ship a finished product. We will also provide all current vendor information and pricing. Depending on where you live, you won't be able to use the exact vendor for many supplies, but at least this will provide you with an idea of the type of vendor to look for and what you can expect to pay.

Cost Breakdown  We have broken down all costs involved with the production of each product, including materials and overhead. It is also in Excel format so you can easily insert and costs that may be different (i.e. cost of labor in your area), and it will calculate and new cost of goods sold and let you know what your new sales price should be. This is an invaluable tool as most businesses fail because they don't have an accurate idea of what a product is costing them.

Instructions for Assembly  A step by step assembly guide you can use for yourself or for employees. These instructions will save you hours of headache by helping you bypass all the silly mistakes we made in the beginning!

.jpg Images  You will receive over 30 pictures of the frames and coasters in different settings. If you know anything about Photoshop then you will appreciate all the hours that have been spent editing these pictures so that they are ready for print or web use.

Marketing Ideas  To help get those creative juices flowing, we will include a document with all our marketing strategies. Most of these will include sales avenues we have used and a few we wish we used. These ideas range from setting up home parties in your area to attending the best wholesale trade shows in the nation to participating in retail craft shows.

Support  We will be available to answer any questions you have via phone or email for 6 months. This is your chance to grill us on the nitty gritty, to ask those dumb questions you never dared to ask (What does Keystone mean?) and if you really need it, a shoulder to cry on!

Important Note: We will not be selling this as a buisness to anyone else! You will have exclusive rights to marketing this business in every state. If you would like us to sign a non-compete agreement, we will be happy to do so.

Inventory  You will receive our entire current inventory which includes completely finished frames and coasters, as well as some unassembled materials. Below is a list (comprehensive) and pictures (not comprehensive) of what you will receive:

- Wood Brackets in five sizes (4" - 7.5"). These brackets are glued to the back of the frame to provide a frame for the matte and glass to sit in. Each frame will have a bracket on the top and on the side that has a keyhole drilled out so that the frame may be hung on the wall. There is an average of 50 brackets in each size.

- Matte Board in all three sizes: 96 - 3x5, 145 - 4x6, and 68 5x7

During the Christmas season of 2004, we did 15 of these parties and each party brought in an average of $1000! We hardly had to do any marketing, the word gets around fast!

Type Business:                                                   Cellular Retail  
State/Region:                                                       Arizona
Revenues: $150,000                               Earnings: $100,000                  Type Earnings: Estimated
Price: $20,000                                          Down Payment: 20,000 
FF and E: 15,000 
Summary Description: Cellular / Wireless Superstore carrying T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon and other prepaid products. Abilbity to carry Cingular and Alltel, as well as Dish Network and Direct TV. Also accepting bill payments for almost every carrier. In this business, accessory sales alone cover the rent, so of course we sell all of them. 
Location/Facility: Located in Phoenix within 3 miles of the Metro Center Mall. It's in a strip center with excellant anchors, including a Frys Food Store, Hollywood Video, Baskin Robbins Ice Cream, Circle K and many more. 
The Opportunity: Make a ton of money, with minimal start up costs. This is an incredible opportunity for the right person who has the sense to make a change and open his/her own business. Only in the wireless business can you make so much money, with such little inventory and start up costs. Most business owners project a loss during the first few years, whereas the wireless business will return a profit to you in the first month. 
Comments: I have been in the wireless business for 2 years. I started with no money, and made a profit from day 1. I own 3 stores, including this one that is for sale. I recently entered into a partnership that did not work out, and that is why I am no longer interested in keeping my 3rd location. I am happy with the money I am making from my 2 other stores and am not interested in expanding or growing anymore.
My lack of interest in this location could be the best thing that has ever happened to you. Two years ago I took over a Planet Wireless that was "new" like this location, and I have been making money ever since. The previous owner was too busy with other locations and didn't have the time to properly manage the business. His loss was my gain. Now I am passing on the opportunity, let my loss be your gain.
For anyone who is new to wireless, I will help you get set up and make sure you sign the proper contracts so that you do not get taken advantage of like many new comers do. This alone is worth more than what I am asking for the business. Plus my connections will help get you a better deal, for which I ask nothing in return.
For anyone who already is in the business, and doesn't need my assistance, we can negotiate a price. 
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON FRANCHISE FEES, THE NAME OF YOUR STORE DOESN'T MATTER...YOU WILL BE CARRYING T-MOBILE, VERIZON, SPRINT, CINGULAR, ETC....THOSE NAMES WILL BRING IN THE CUSTOMERS, YOU DO NOT NEED TO WASTE YOUR MONEY...
