Testimonials from Wee Piggies & Paws™ Franchisees:

Wow, where do I begin! I have had a desire to own my own business for years, however, could never find anything that was worth while or believable!

When I first discovered Wee Piggies I got butterflies! It was defiantly a scary decision, but I am so glad I went for it.

Debbie's energy and enthusiasm is a real inspiration. What has impressed me the most is the detail that goes into everything..I mean Everything..I received everything I needed to start and everything was labeled. It was so easy to set up.

With the detailed training and group support it has been a breeze to get started.

I couldn't be happier with my decision to become a Piggie! I not only get to stay home and meet lots of great people, but to be able to give something so beautiful to someone and see the expression on their face is very gratifying.

Thank you so much for everything you have done Debbie.

Corri ( Red Deer, AB)

I really thought Debbie did a wonderful job on the start up kit.

She makes getting started in this business foolproof. After training I thought I would never be able to remember how to do all of the steps involved in creating these beautiful works of art. I was very pleasantly suprised to find everything in the start up kit organized into logical bins and clearly labelled so there was no confusion. I could get started right away since all the materials were already organized in a way that helped me remember the process. Well done!

Thanks,

Anne Margaret

Byron, GA

The start-up kit I received was amazing, everything you need and more is included. I love the support we have both from Head Office and the other franchisees. All the ideas everyone shares are very beneficial. I love it. I love the fact that I can do this from home, pick my hours and the work load and I get to play with babies all the time. I think that this is one of the best home based businesses.

Wendy, Brampton ON

Thank you Debbie for your amazing hospitality. The weekend was planned perfectly with the food, agenda, hands on, timing.... etc.

I do realize every little detail you put in. Getting shirts done was a nice touch like you say over-do everything.

It was great having all the paperwork done before hand, it really helped me prepare mentally since I had a visual.... and I saw the support on the secure site & forum. (Not sure I would have jumped in so fast had I not saw the background support). This is a very well run franchise. Also it was imperative Shane came, not only for the physical help with all the stuff to bring home but he now has such a open, positive mind, he understands and knows what goes into every step, and that is important when running a household. It was just a bonus we got a weekend at Niagara Falls too!

Thank you so much for all the details, extra's, etc

Donna, Grande Prairie, AB

I can only hope if you are taking the time to read this you are looking into purchasing a franchise or buying some of the products that are offered. We tend to be very discerning parents with our daughter Shelby, as I am sure all parents are. We first came across Wee Piggies & Paws while trying to preserve as many memories as possible of her early years. The more we viewed the products offered the more we realized this was a business venture we must take. We had reviewed many other franchises and for various reasons they just were not suitable. Wee Piggies and Paws was a fit for us on so many levels.

We loved the product, it truly is a product we would and did chose to conserve memories with our daughter.

The quality was exceptional.

The support system from the other franchisees is second to none.

Training was very professional and you walked away knowing exactly what to do and how to do it from both a product standpoint and a marketing approach.

Most importantly is Debbie herself.

Debbie started the business from the ground up and as a result she lends tremendous insight into what you need to do in order to be successful at your franchise. If one listens to the advice and directions she gives, you are assured to be a success.

We have embraced our franchise and in return it is paying us back on a multitude of levels.

Best regards,

The Orwins, Hamilton

"The thing that impressed me the most is that when I read the what was included in the franchise package, it said it included everything needed to start your Wee Piggies & Paws™ business. You know what? It included EVERYTHING! Right down to a roll of scotch tape and a dispenser for it. Every detail was well thought out, in both the start-up package, as well as the training session. I left training feeling confident and excited about what I was about to begin, and that feeling continues. The on-going support from head office allows me to build my business in a way I never thought possible!"

6 months later: " I remember being so impressed with the start-up package that I thought I wouldn't have to re-order for at least a year. Well, I've found myself 6 months into building my business, re-stocking absolutely everything in my workshop! My business continues to grow beyond my expectations!

Rebecca, Calgary Alberta

"I am really enjoying this so much! I have never had a passion or a hobby that I was really into and I think I have found it. I think you may have changed my life.

Terry Ajax, ON

I initially discovered Wee Piggies & Paws while watching Breakfast TV one morning and I immediately went on the Internet to discover what this company was all about. I had goose bumps when I saw the tiny little statues of babies' feet and the precious little hand & foot prints on the website! When I discovered that there was a franchise opportunity available in my area, my fingers almost burned up my keyboard - I couldn't get my email sent to Debbie fast enough! I am now a very proud and satisfied franchisee for Wee Piggies & Paws in Peterborough, Ontario and I shamelessly admit that the excitement hasn't stopped since that first, fateful day. The training that was provided by Debbie was comprehensive, well-organized and a lot of fun! Not only did I leave the training session with the skills necessary to make these wonderful memories for parents, I also came away with a trunk full of supplies so complete that I didn't have to purchase a thing to start the business! In the few short months that I have been operating this franchise, I have experienced the excitement of the growth of this business and I will never tire of watching the expressions of the parents when they see their little ones' hands or feet forever preserved!

I highly recommend Wee Piggies & Paws to anyone who loves children and enjoys the challenges and exceptional rewards associated with a winning business!

"I love the overwhelming reactions of the parents who are getting plaques and Shadow Boxes done, - it's all so worth it! My last client was misty-eyed when she saw the Shadow Box and then broke down in tears when she read the poem "Walk a little slower, Daddy". I'll never tire of this!"

Marie, Peterborough, ON

"I just want to acknowledge how incredibly impressed I am with not only the amount of time Debbie has taken to help me with this venture, but also the commitment she has made to ensure the success of each franchisee. I really appreciate it."

Tamara Etobicoke, ON

"I was so impressed with the entire franchise package.
All the supplies, materials and training I received enabled me to literally start my business the day after I got home from training. I am still amazed at how much stuff we received. It felt like Christmas all over again! I am having so much fun"

Conny, Dartmouth Nova Scotia

"When I first started talking to Debbie about purchasing a Wee Piggies franchise, I already had a small business doing lifecastings for infants and children as well as carrying great baby keepsake items (baby time capsules, keepsake containers, etc.). At that time I had been operating my own business for about 6 or 7 months and I was exhausted from spending my days - and nights - being on the telephone and the computer doing research to satisfy my constant need to keep finding better ways to do business. I was tired of wasting time and money and was getting frustrated because I didn't have anyone I could call to bounce ideas off of who really knew what I was talking about, let alone how to help me. And, more importantly, I wasn't spending as much time with my children as I wanted to.

One night while doing about my 30,000th hour of research on the Internet, I stumbled upon the Wee Piggies website and immediately got butterflies in my stomach! Needless to say, I couldn't sleep at all that night and the very next day sent Debbie an e-mail. As "they" say, the rest is history!!

The training was beyond belief, the support from head office and the other Wee Piggies franchisees have been incredible, and I feel like I can now have the best of both worlds - being a stay-at-home Mom and a career woman. Now I am not only making a difference in my own children's lives, but in those of my customers as well! I can't think of anything better than that."

Kim, Edmonton, Alberta

"We were pleasantly surprised to see how prepared you were. We were taken aback when we walked into the training room and there was a binder containing every step-by-step instruction we could have hoped for; and the supplies...we almost couldn't fit them all in our car"

12 months later: "Thanks for all your hard work Debbie. You make it so easy to be a part of this franchise."

Justin & Amanda, Brantford, Ont.

"The training was amazing, every little detail was clearly explained. I was so impressed with the amount that we covered in such a short period of time!
The supplies we came home with far exceeded my expectations"

1 year later:
"We couldn't have a better, more supportive or more encouraging Head Office who is there for us at the drop of a hat.......Somehow you've managed to pull together a group of people of different ages, locations and circumstances and turn them into a tightly knit group who have a genuine interest in each other."

Celia Brampton, Ont

Your outstanding training session exceeded my expectations. From product development to business strategy, your expert knowledge and attention to detail clearly reflects years of commitment and research. Instructions were easy to follow and detailed documentation eliminated the need for note taking. The atmosphere was friendly and it was a pleasure to meet the other franchisees. Also, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of time available for practice and discussion. Upon completion of the class, I felt that I was provided with everything I need to establish a successful business.

It’s refreshing to be part of an organization committed to high quality products in an era that mass production supersedes excellence and longevity.

Thank you for your support and encouragement throughout my entire franchising experience.

I have to say for the first time in my life...I LOVE MY JOB !!!

Joanna Scarborough, Ontario

Amazing training
Wonderful lifetime memory to remember
Excellent step-by-step manual
Super tools and materials supplied
Overwhelming, my wife said
Magnificent to have our kids work with us and enjoy it too
Exciting interaction with kids and their families

Khal & Loulia, Burlington Ont.

"The training was great! You included everything to start us out on our own. It made it really easy for us to come home and start practicing on our kids right away.
I thought it was great that we could bring our kids and use them and others as well."

Jenn, Grimsby, Ont

"The training was AWESOME! Both Lucy & I felt that the hands-on training was invaluable. Not only were we able to be ourselves and learn from our mistakes, we had a blast doing so. We were given all the materials required to start up. I am still in awe of all the tools that were included in our kits, not to mention the details in our training manual. Of course we can't forget the fact that our little ones were able to join us and the food was delicious.
Debbie & Blake definitely know how to take care of their franchisees!"

Bernadette Mississauga, Ont.

"This was the easiest, quickest way to get a business off the ground, and at a reasonable cost.I was going to pursue another career option before I found Wee Piggies, but it involved an expensive 2 year correspondence course and then I would still have to work or baby-sit kids to make ends meet. With this business, I figure that my expenses are going to be a bit more at first but I can begin right away and should be able to easily make a profit in about 1 year. And for that I Thank You!!!!"

1 year later:
"I can't believe how fast the time has flown by. It's been a blast! I cannot think of anything else I would rather be doing or a better group of people (from the top down) I would rather be working with. I don't think that there is any other franchise out there that gives you as much freedom and support at the same time. With Wee Piggies, it's like a big family, I do what I want, when I want, but there is always a helping hand there if I need it (whether it's from another franchise or HO). Oh, and not to forget the extras, such as getting group rates on supplies or credit card service. Being so busy these days with the baby, it's nice to have a group that will source out stuff and share with the whole group. I feel truly blessed to have found this career! So Debbie, I thank you!"

Louise, Kitchener, ON

"The hands-on training was FANTASTIC. We were both stunned by the amount of equipment you supplied us with. Your training session was one of the best I have ever been to, and I have attended many.

Bill & Joanne Bolton, Ont.

"Debbie is committed that every franchisee succeeds. Her attention to detail, organizational skills, marketing expertise, continuous R&D for new products and her passion for her art guarantee every stay-at-home Mom can have a rewarding alternative career.

Thank you Debbie for giving me this opportunity".

Nol and Jaime North York, ON

There are not enough words to describe the excellent training I received. Everything was so well set up and organized. I couldn't imagine how every possible item needed to get started was there. Debbie has everything very well thought out and organized. The training was EXTREMELY helpful and fun. The days seemed to fly by as I experienced hands-on learning. An excellent caterer even brought in the meals & snacks!!
From the first day I decided to take on this new challenge there has been nothing but SUPPORT from Debbie as well as my fellow "Wee Piggies". It is amazing to see how everyone is so involved with each other in such a positive way. I first received a warm welcome, then encouragement and useful suggestions. WOW WHAT A TEAM!

3 months later:
"I am truly in love with this business and I think all of the support I receive from you and my fellow 'Piggies' certainly plays a part."

Thanks for this exciting opportunity to be in business.

I can't believe how busy I have become.
WOW!!!!!!!! Loving it.
