Help Protect Children While Owning a Flexible, Home-Based Business

Back in 1994, Jan Switzer was a stay at home mom who was very involved in her children’s lives and the school they attended. Each year, the school invited Ident-A-Kid to create emergency identification cards for the children in the community. Switzer loves children and loves being involved in the school system. She had planned to go back to work since her youngest child was in kindergarten but did not want to work a 9-5 job because her children were her priority. It was at that time that the current franchisee for Ident-A-Kid in Switzer’s community suddenly passed away and she made the decision to purchase the territory.

Ident-A-Kid offered Switzer the opportunity to work with children, stay involved in local schools, have flexible summers, and be home and available for her children. Franchisees do not need previous experience to own an Ident-A-Kid. The franchise is affordable and comes complete with the finest technology, comprehensive training and unparalleled support.

Trusted Brand and Reputation
Ident-A-Kid is the first child identification program in the country and was developed after the founder’s friend lost her child for a few hours and wanted an identification card that she could keep in her wallet. Ident-A-Kid has built a reputation over the past twenty years for offering the finest and most effective identification card available. There are many child identification businesses around but they simply cannot compare to Ident-A-Kid.

Helping the company to remain the industry leader, Ident-A-Kid offers franchisees an extremely supportive national office that is always looking at ways to improve their product and locate the best equipment and technology. Ident-A-Kid also offers parents the best quality card on the market. Additionally, because Ident-A-Kid is devoted to child safety, they go an extra step by offering schools a free Complete Campus Security System ($200 Value) to keep children safer. All of these factors have led to the company’s nationally recognized and trusted brand.

A Flexible Schedule that Leaves Time for Family…
These days, Switzer’s children are all grown up. Her oldest daughter is 27, her son is 23, and her youngest daughter is 18 and Switzer is the proud Nana of two grandaughters . Ident-A-Kid has always offered her a flexible schedule and today, her oldest daughter, who is mom to two daughters of her own, enjoys a flexible schedule working for Switzer’s Ident-A-Kid franchise.

“I’ve always had an extremely flexible schedule. When the kids had school events, I was always able to attend. Plus, I was finished shooting photos at schools by 1:00 and then I could go home to be with my children and finish processing the cards from home,” said Switzer.

Today, she spends most of her time visiting campuses and speaking to school principals. “We update the cards every year in schools and day cares, so I don’t have to spend my time always trying to find new customers. I just bought an additional territory and my daughter is now going to the schools to shoot the photos and record the data. It’s a great, flexible job for her as a mom.”   

A Proven Business System
“The national office is always available and it’s not intimidating to ask them questions. Even though I’m alone in my territory, I have always felt like I have help and support for the home office,” explained Switzer.

Ident-A-Kid offers an extremely affordable initial investment and low overhead. Your investment includes a completely turnkey business package which includes the finest equipment on the market. In fact, the fingerprint scanner Ident-A-Kid uses is the same state-of-the-art scanner the FBI and Homeland Security uses. With the company’s incredible equipment package, 100 children per hour can be processed.

Switzer added, “Training is also incredible. By the time training was over for me, I had no questions at all and felt confident in running my new business. Even without any computer experience, I found the computer software to be very user friendly. This is a simple business to run.”

The Market Demand is Massive…
Ident-A-Kid offers you the opportunity to own a rewarding business with extremely high market demand as Switzer explained, “Everyone with a child wants an Ident-A-Kid card! They’re reasonably priced so every parent can afford them. In 2005, we did a card for a little boy here in South Texas. He was kidnapped and his grandmother gave his Ident-A-Kid card to the authorites, who then promptly posted it in an Amber Alert. She believed that the Ident-A-Kid card was a very important tool that was used to help get her grandson returned safely home. It’s so important to have a current picture, fingerprint, and an accurate height and weight for a lost child. Most parents simply do not know their children’s current height and weight. I just love this business! It’s so rewarding. I love being around children and I love that I provide a vital tool to parents. I also love owning a business that allows me to have the time to spend with my family, which is the most precious thing in my life.”
