Have you ever thought about being Santa?
Working as a professional Santa and/or Mrs. Claus can be very fun, rewarding both personally and financially. In our training you will learn just how much fun it can be and the financial freedom that being a professional Santa can bring you.
When we started, My wife and I went to one of the best Santa schools in the country. It was very costly. It was a two day workshop and a big part of the first day we learned about the history of Santa. We also spent time in those two days learned about the history of all the different Santa Clubs and Organizations. This was good information but I was paying a lot of money to learn this information and it was not what I really needed.
I needed information to help me know what to do when that kid was sitting next to me and I am Santa. I needed to know what my role was and information on all the different events. I needed information on how to grow my Santa business.
That is what you will get in the Santa Training Academy.
We look at all the events, that you as Santa and/or Mrs. Claus can go to and review what your roles are at each of these events. And what you need to know to make it a good event.
Your outfits. What they need to look like, different types and where to get outfits, and maintaining you outfits. Look at the different belts, boots etc.
Questions kids can ask. And trust me, they can ask some interesting questions. And sometimes it is a honest question and sometimes a trick question to see if your really Santa. You will learn the difference. And when you get hit with questions, both types and you have a good answer, it make the event so much fun.
The advantages of working for a contract company / agent verses being your own agent. Can you do both, work for an agent and yourself?

You will walk away with the knowledge we have after many years.
Pay rates can vary depending on the type of event your at. So how much do you charge for being Santa and/or Mrs. Claus? What are the average rates of pay? After our training you will have a much better ideal of what you can and should charge for your service.
