Q.& A.
Super Workshop I am very interested in coming, but I have further questions. It appears from the agenda that all the product to be shown will be an additional investment on my part. In fact, some of it could be quite an investment. . . In examining my coming to the workshop, I need to know if I will be able to take the information and turn it into dollars without more investment or if everything I learn will require additional investment and how much. I would like to know, before I invest $$$ into a trip, if I can make it benefit my store. Time away, is also lost revenue, so it needs to make dollar sense to make a trip. I am sure you are well aware of this . . . ~ ~ Marcia (NV) ~
A.- There are three new software packages we will be training on at the workshop. As we demonstrate how to use them to make gift items you will also be learning new techniques. Many of these you can implement using the software you now have. I believe you will get your money and time’s worth, just from the ideas others will be sharing with each other much less the workshop itself.
Q. - What investment will be need to receive the Windows program - so we can have more lines for titles, signatures and just added information a customer wants to put wherever and be able to see the finished product before we print it.
A.- The beta version is $20 including 50 free warrants to all who want to beta test. Or, if you are a serious tester, it is available with 30 days in which no warrants will be charged at $100. (See requirements above.)
The final release, to non-testers will be available at the Super Workshop in Las Vegas Sept.27-29 at the following prices. If you came into the business after Jan.1, 1997, it will be $20 for version 1. Those in the business before Jan. 1 1997 will be $40. (No free warrants with the final release.)
Q. - Why do you charge your beta testers warrants..
A - In past projects like this, we have learned, that since our software is used to make products for re-sale this is a much wiser policy.
Q. - What type of investment will be needed to do Art On the Fly?
A.- Art On the Fly requires a color printer such as the Epson Stylus 850 which has a street price of under $400. You must have a Pentium running WIN 95/98, w/CD-ROM. The min. memory or speed has not yet been determined. If you are buying new wait until the release requirements are published. The software has yet to be priced but we are looking at around $500 startup. Mug presses, T-Shirt presses etc. are totally optional.
Q. - What type of investment would be needed to do Adventures in Art?
A.- Adventures in Art is a totally new business which can be ran in conduction with our current one or totally separately. It includes Art On the Fly, so to do both you need not invest in Art On the Fly separately. This package will range around $2,500 for current licensees, much more for others. Hard ware requirements are similar to Art On the Fly. In addition you will need a Digital Camera about $600+ and optional scanner $200. Mug presses, T-Shirt presses etc. are totally optional, as they are with Art On the Fly
