Brief

Brief/Aim:

Trinket is a handmade jewelry and accessory business that also supports children with cancer and their families. The children are gifted handmade jewelry by us as well as by supportive customers, and 30% of each product sold is donated to these children’s families. The rest of the profit goes towards keeping the business running. For example: a constant supply of beads, other materials and equipment, website payments, store payments and bills etc

Potential running store

We, Trinket, sell our handmade jewelry and accessories both online and in store.

Each item is priced accordingly with a tag.

In our store, we offer a fully supplied workshop for customers to make their own jewelry and accessories.

We supply a booklet that includes items we design along with the prices and instructions on how to make them.

Our products are:

Wrap Bracelets

Earrings             

Angels             

Necklaces        

Key Chains         

Brooches            

Hair Pins            

Window Charms

Bonsai Trees     

Customized name bracelets

If the customer decides to make one of our products, they pay by the usual selling price.

  For example: If they make an angel, the cost is $15.00.

If the customer chooses to make something else that is not listed, they pay by the amount of beads. For this option, 1 bead = 20c

Once the customer has finished and is happy with their item(s), they proceed to the checkout. 30% of what they pay goes towards the families of children with cancer.

For example: A customer made or bought a necklace for $10, so $3 goes towards the families of children with cancer.

Customers also have the choice to either keep their creation or place it in the box to donate it to a child with cancer. This is not compulsory, the customer has still made a contribution from above.

In-store and workshop rules:

·        Open on weekends from 9am-4pm (Online store is available 24/7)

·        Children under 12 must be supervised at all times

·        Equipment or unpaid for beads do not leave the workshop
