What does Pearls of Wisdom NYC do?
Pearls of Wisdom NYC is a series of etiquette and social skills classes specifically designed for kids, ‘tweens, and teens! Our coach comes right to your home at a time designated by you teaching everything from table manners, to “NETiquette” (internet + etiquette), to how to have an effective confrontation with someone who is talking behind your back. We teach kids to have self confidence in every social situation- from a dinner party with adults, to partying with their friends.
How are they different?
There really isn’t anything like Pearls of Wisdom NYC out there…if you search for etiquette classes, you could find a stuffy cotillion or “Miss Manners” class that your child won’t relate to in the least. Pearls of Wisdom NYC presents learning manners as a matter of learning to respect yourself and the people around you in a way that is relevant to today’s younger population.
Why could Pearls of Wisdom NYC be BIG?
There are two main reasons Pearls of Wisdom NYC is going to be HUGE. First, again, because there’s absolutely nothing out there like it. The fact that we dare to teach social skills and not just traditional etiquette to this population makes us the only program of our kind. Second, because the material we teach is relevant to the population we’re dealing with and therefore is more likely to retain students interests as well as parents. Our material is designed and taught by young people, for young people and that makes all the difference.
How they plan to make money:
Our financial strategy is to begin by expanding our client list and number of classes we teach per month. In the coming months, we plan to expand into ebook that can be sold via our website, as well as a self-written children’s book that has been used as teaching material for the younger groups.
Our thoughts:
Certainly see a big need for this – however perhaps potential challenge is delicately getting around the issue of people who could benefit from your service not wanting to admit they need it.
