Social Pottery Franchise

Who are Social Pottery?

Social Pottery, with its roots in Camden Town, London, in 2015, was the brainchild of Marian Walteros. With a unique blend of legal expertise, marketing know-how, and a passion for art, Marian teamed up with co-founder Giuseppe Ventura, whose expertise in traditional Sicilian pottery became the cornerstone of Social Pottery's creative ethos. Originally designed as a community space for pottery and relaxation, Social Pottery rapidly evolved into a haven for artistic expression and mental well-being. 

At Social Pottery, we pride ourselves on offering an experience that is truly unique and memorable. No matter the occasion – whether it be a birthday celebration, a hen do, or a corporate event. Our pottery painting and pottery making classes are one-of-a-kind 

Social Pottery are now expanding, and we have a variety of new franchise opportunities right now in several locations. If you want to join with us as we continue our expansion across the UK, we would like to hear from you. 

What does a Social Pottery Franchise consist of? What do you get as a Franchisee?

So many people think of starting their own business - not just for the financial rewards but for the opportunity to be your own boss and run your own life. But the downside is that although you get all the rewards, you also take the risks. Taking on a franchise within a proven operation reduces those risks substantially. By joining Social Pottery, you can reduce them even more!

Track Record of Success – we have a developed a method of doing business that works well and produces successful results. 

Strong Brand - One of the biggest advantages of franchising is that the company is building a brand on a regional or national basis that should have value in the eyes of customers you're trying to attract.

Training Programme – we have a training programme designed to bring you up to speed on the most successful methods to run the business. 

Ongoing Operational Support – we have staff dedicated to providing ongoing assistance to franchisees. You're not alone when you're building and running your business, and you can always call on experienced people when you hit a rough spot or want to share new ideas for growing the business.

Marketing Assistance – we will offer you marketing assistance to provide you with proven tools and strategies for attracting and retaining customers. 

Purchasing Power – as a franchise you can take advantage of the buying power of the entire system to negotiate prices for everything you need at significantly lower levels than you could achieve as an independent operator. 

Risk Avoidance - the biggest reason to buy a franchise is that, if you're smart, it will help you avoid much of the risk of starting a new business.

What exactly is a franchise?

A franchise is a business relationship between the owner of a trademark and system (the Franchisor) and an individual wishing to use that identification in operating a business (the Franchisee). The franchisee invests in the business model and uses its developed brand, operating systems, training and support.  The franchisor and franchisee share a vested interest in success and work together for business growth.

What are the benefits of being a Social Pottery franchisee?

As a Social Pottery franchisee you have the freedom of having your own business without the fear and stress associated with going it alone. You can rely on the backing of a strong brand and a dedicated support structure.  You will be part of a team of franchisees all committed to building their businesses. With active support and ongoing feedback, you’ll have guidance and encouragement at every stage of your business development.

Do I need to be creative?

You don’t need to be an artist – you just need to enjoy the creative process and have the enthusiasm to help others enjoy it as well!  

How do I find the right location?

Selecting the right retail site is vital to your business success.  We will assist in site selection and highlight the key elements of a strong location, but your knowledge of your local community is key!

What hours will I need to work?

As a franchisee you have to be prepared to work retail hours as a hands-on owner-operator.  But rest assured our retail hours are family friendly…no late nights or early mornings. Like every business – the more time and effort you put into the more you’ll get out of it.  So be prepared to work hard!

What skill sets have contributed the most to the success of a franchise?

A strong customer service orientation is most important to help you build and nurture lasting customer relationships. Effective self-management and a proven work ethic are necessary to ensure that you stay focused and in command of your business. Good financial discipline is key to managing the business and cash flow demands and staying focused on the key drivers of profitability. A love of creativity and passion for the Social Pottery concept also make a difference, generating natural excitement around your business.
