    I am just getting started as Santa…this is my first year. I have heard wonderful things about your network, and have had the opportunity to watch some clips of you. While it is overwhelming to say the least, I am excited to get started and learn all I can to be a great Santa!

  2. Thank you! I’m very excited for everything you have to offer. I feel like we may have met in Midland. Were you at Charles W Howard Santa School this year?

  3. Thank you Ed for this incredible opportunity.
    Continuously on the pursuit of Santa excellence, I’m always looking to improve in anyway possible. Year after year I’d finish the season having had a great time but feeling I missed so many opportunities. With 19 years of Santa Service I had plateaued for the past 5, I stated searching Santa schools to see if I could find something that would work for me.
    Fortunately this year I stumbled across an intriguing interview with Santa Ed called The Business of Santa Claus – Ed Taylor [Christmas Special] on Business Ownership Podcast. That interview covered exactly what I was looking for and the integrity go Santa Ed Taylor shines through the internet.
    Just browsing through the free information was a complete breath of fresh air, there was no question Platinum is going to help me achieve my aspirations. My personal goal is to transition from my current career as a head doorman in a historical hotel in Toronto to a year round Premiere Santa.

    Ed, I really enjoy the online meetings and other information offered on the site. I’ve been playing Santa at the Village of Mundelein (IL) Santa’s Cottage for 30 years – with an occasional community event, charity event or home visit dashed in just for the joy of Christmas. As I head towards retirement from my “real” job I’m considering picking up some Santa “gigs” to help justify the expensive attire. I’m in the fact-finding mode on how to take my abilities to the next level. Santa’s Cottage is awesome – as I’ve had the children of kids (2 generations) who visited with me over the course of my 30 year career. Each year Santa arrives on a fire truck for the tree lighting ceremony and then the grand opening of Santa’s Cottage – where we had lines lasting nearly 2 hours this year! I look forward to learning more from all the Santa’s throughout the year! Ray
