I have a hot system I don’t know if you’ve heard this 🤣🤣🤣 some franchises will take you’re money insisting you need this when in reality you don’t to clean windows,you buy a backpack a cheap filtration system and fill barrels and you are fully equipped to clean windows.
Before anyone bought into this I’d say give yourself 2 weeks just knocking doors see where it gets you you might surprise yourself and save yourself a shed load of money.

How is a franchise a low star up cost?

Darran

[Ched]

Not sure 'Ongoing expense of Franchise Fee' is a plus point, I realise that the tick means 'yes', so it is correct.  It's certainly an interesting info graphic but not sure it quite sells it.
Might be worth rethinking that one?

Plus lower startup costs? If someone bought exactly the same kit not getting the 'franchisers discount from economies of scale' I am sure that would be cheaper than the discounted kit plus the franchise fee!

I think there are great plus points of a franchise you could make, like ongoing support, proven work systems, etc. Be careful as if it's advertising material it's open to the Advertising Standards Agency inspection!

Just looked at your franchising web site and within the training section it doesn't actually say you will receive training on any of the equipment! I assume you teach them during the 5 days how to use the kit? If you do might be worth mentioning that?

I am not trying to knock your franchise just asking questions I think might help you.

Better plus point would be lead nd prospective customers supplied from franchise...

I know it's your baby, but looking at it I get the feeling it's all about the franchise rancher than the franchisee
Could be that already being in the biz I see  like your own territory, don't wash - a newbie may think they get an area devoid of other windy's and how big is a territory ?

Own territory within the franchise that’s all that means.

[NWH]

They won’t put another 1 of their franchises in competition with another 1 don’t forget about the other 20 cleaners in his area though lol.

Own territory within the franchise that’s all that means.

Yes we all know that. The point Smudger was making was that a newbie Franchisee  may think he’s got an exclusive area without any other window cleaners at all.
Anyway, I thought you weren’t going to say any more on the matter?

[deeege]

Makes little sense to use this as marketing material for a window cleaning franchise.

As has already been said, almost every box is wrong or at the least misleading.

Low start up costs? Far higher costs with the franchise model.

Bigger purchasing power? Are you really going to get a discount on your resin because you can order 3 bags of resin instead of 1?

Ongoing expense of franchise fee can’t be marketed as a benefit over a solo startup.

There’s that much good FREE info out there now that also negates the value of having ongoing support from an experienced operator.

I wish you well with this model but without supplying work I can’t personally see it working for the franchisee.

It won’t mean that no one knows who’s calling into an area,it’s pointless trying to make a case to people who’ve been in this game for years we all know how it goes and what you need to do to support a franchisee they need a constant supply of work to keep them going and customers replaced that they lose coz they will lose some.

You’ve got to be joking if I want to waste money I usually go to Vegas at Christmas 🎄 and have a blow out,at least when I waste my money I know I’m wasting it or I’m under no illusion 🤣🤣

Territorys arent needed if you are supplying all the work.

Its all about sales at the end of the day, its doesnt matter what your model is if you can sell it.

I  enquired at a certain window cleaning franchise company so i could see how they work, very nice website, about 10k plus to buy in and they dont supply any work either. But they have got quite a lot of franchisees and their email marketing is brilliant. Looks very slick.

[NWH]

What like a slick double glazing salesman 🤣🤣

I was hoping Andy might answer some of the questions posed - if it's a good idea it will withstand interrogation

I’ll have a read through the latest posts and answer any questions a little later on today 😊

[Smudger]

excellent

I don't want you to feel its an attack - but more in the form of dealing with a potential franchisee that asked awkward questions
