The purpose of this question is to recommend the appropriate venues and services for each segment of your program.

"Single Event" is a one time event. "Single Event with possible later events" is if you you anticipate offering additiional events if the single event is successful. "Continuing Series of Events or Program" is if you plan on offering a program on a regular schedule. An example is a teacher training program offered multiple times a year.

We host recurring professional trainings throughout the year. Some are programs that repeat monthly while others offer advanced trainings that follow basic courses. If you are interested in offering programs on a regular basis we have special contract rates and services available.

Products that support and enhance your program can be beneficial to participants and profitable for organizers. Our director has a background of over 30 years lecturing and training worldwide. Products were developed for many of these programs which were enthusiastically embraced by participants and provided additional revenue streams. The one downside was the logistics and expense of packing, shipping, setting up, repacking and shipping. This is even more challenging when it involves international shipping, customs and duty.

Taksu's resources of design and manufacturing enable us to design and make products to support specific programs and participants lifestyle. Since all of this is handled in country there are no shipping and customs fees. With our partnership program there is no direct expense to the organizer and a percentage of revenue is shared with the organizer. The only direct expense are items that are specifically customized for a group which means they are targeted for that group only.

An example of one of our collections are products that are specific for Yoga, Bodywork and Movement practitioners. These include yoga and movement accessories, mat and other bags, mat holders, props, clothing, jewelry, travel accessories, banners, room decorations, essential oils, natural lotions and other items.

We realize that running a program is more than a full time job and the idea of adding anything more can seem overwhelming. We know this from direct experience which is why we have made this program as effortless as possible. Three options are available: 1) Products are set up within the training space so participants can explore them during breaks. 2) Products are set up in a separate location as a satellite store near the training area. 3) Products are setup in our Galeria located a hundred meters from our main Taksu entrance. In all three scenarios we can provide staff to handle sales at specific times in the first two scenarios or full time at our Galeria. This removes any burden from you the organizer to oversee product sales and stocking.

We are fully licensed and experienced in worldwide export which means if students wish to purchase selections at wholesale for resale within their own business we are happy to work with them. You, as the organizer, will receive an override commission on export sales from your group. Our preferred wholesale pricing is available to the organizers for export orders.

An essential element of every program is the invaluable information that is presented. Sales of both audio and video recordings were always the top seller in all of our directors programs. Years of experience streamlined the process and now recordings can be dowloaded from password protect cloud storage so participants do not need to carry anything with them and the long process of reproduction of CDs, DVDs, and Flash Drives is eliminated.
