Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I join your company ?
Because we have 18 years experience in this business ,we have tested our franchise in 34 countries , we have unique ”stand out from the crowd ” products , we know how to adapt them to individual markets and how to increase sales year on year It’s a simple business that simply works !
Can anyone else operate in my area ?
No, your territory is exclusive to you as defined by postcode
How much income can I expect to earn ?
You can expect to earn from £15 to £65 per shop depending on the position and type of outlet Your income also grows as you increase your presence and hence product range within each outlet . You will be able get into over 200 outlets your area and some pro active franchisees will go on to supply hundreds of outlets in time
Do I need expensive premises ?
No ..you can operate the business from home with a small storage space What are the overheads like ? Very few ,just you ,your car and your fuel plus some minor expenses . Once you grow your network it makes sense to take on a part time ”school run ” merchandiser who can use their own car .
Do you charge royalties ?
No ..we only make money from card sales to you . it’s a true interdependent relationship .. the outlet sells to it’s customers ...you sell to them .. we sell to you .That means you can rest assured that we will maintain the style,quality and innovation of our product ranges . Everybody wins !
How long before I receive any income ?
You will collect your first monies 4 weeks following every single outlet you install your products into . You have almost instant cashflow coming into your business . You don’t have to wait months to generate an income
How much training will I have ?
You will have one day’s training in head office and then two more days in the field getting you into your first outlets . We don’t undertake to find dozens of outlets for you, as some companies do, because I know from experience that you would prefer to wait a month or two to get a particular good shop that might sell 100 plus cards per month than have a bad to mediocre shop that a company salesman ,working to a deadline in your area would have to say yes to there and then . It’s your business ,only you will get the best outlets and develop the best relationships with your potential customers.
Do you find shops for us?
Throughout the year we will be attending trade shows to find shops for our franchisees as well as approaching a variety of buying groups and smaller chains to accelerate growth for all our franchisees We charge a small marketing levy of £ 50 per month to help support our national marketing and trade shows . This is the only fee we charge to you . As a result of this, you may find that we often have outlets waiting to be supplied in your new area .
Is it a hard sell ?
NO ! our products are offered on a full sale or return basis to shops .. All you need to do is convince them to try our range by telling them : ”mr shopkeeper, if it works for you ... great we continue .. if it doesn’t ,then you lose nothing and I just remove the stand and cards from your shop ” Funny thing is a lot of shops I set up over 15 years ago with another company still have those same stands in !
