Good point chef - I would assume that's a good reason to provide the franchisee with work

We've covered the reason why people go for a franchise - try to keep, up,or at least read other people's posts


Andy - do you know who are the most successful franchise's are that are not shop based - (for example a plumbing franchise)
Darran

Dyno-rod and Metro Plumb ?

[Smudger]

Sorry it wasn't a question that I know the answer to, I thought you might know when you researched

It is really interesting to hear how you are going - there are always a lot of negative people out there but as long as you believe in what you are offering and work hard I am sure you can achieve great things for you and your franchisees.

I hope you do really well franchising. Good Luck and keep us posted.

Thanks

The guys I have partnered with are great. The franchise director has 26 years experience in the franchising industry, and the franchise manager was a franchise director at Fastsigns before joining Taylor Made. So, together as a team hopefully we can be successful - It's not just me on my own.

🤣🤣 I think you are a round the world trip from being in that kind of company as far as brand goes lol,fair play to you for trying.
I can think off the top of my head now but there is a National company that took over a lot of Office cleaning and Commercial window cleaning,they have a huge profile of work the only trouble is when the name gets mentioned it’s in horror.

[Clever Forum Name]

So many companies offer both now.

DPD and footlocker I didn’t realise are franchises as well.

Won’t be yet but I’ve had a chat with my franchisees and we have a surprise for Nigel

All this chat and no ones saying how much you want and how much I’ll get I’m hearing a lot of 💨,if someone thinks they need to pay 1000s to start window cleaning good luck to them once they’ve been doing it a while they’ll realise they didn’t,it’s like paying money to have a bloke on the other end of the phone for advise 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah lol you don’t want any potential buyers talking to someone like me about window cleaning and franchising 🤣🤣.
1, Think of a company name.
2, Get leaflets printed.
3, Select an area you want to work.
4, Put leaflets through doors until you’re fingers bleed.
5, Get a cheap website basic saying what you do and areas covered.
6, Get a backpack and traditional tools and practise on your house as often as you can and check results in sunlight,make a point of putting the time in everyday at some point even in the rain.
7, Once you’ve done this for a month see where you are in terms of window cleaning results if it’ll suit you and how much work you’ve managed to get back from leaflets and website enquires.

8, Before you do any of this when would you like me to pick you up and drop you down to the bank so you can withdraw me 15 bags,I only take cash and I’ll come in with you it’s worked out quiet well because at the moment we will both have masks on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💩💩💩💩💩

[NWH]

All joking aside the 7 points I’ve mentioned will get you enough work to get you started you don’t need to spend a penny,bit of initiative shoe leather and persistence always works with window cleaning and who knows it might not be for you and if it’s not it ain’t cost you anything.

30 bags if you want a Green Thumb franchise http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/working_lunch/education/1577048.stm

[CasaDeCabra]

I would target people who know nothing at all about the cleaning of windows if someone is providing leaflets and business cards and a business name what are they getting for their money,who’s buying into this do they not see that they could be doing the same thing for thereselves for 100 odd quid 🤣🤣.
I’d like a few more reasons as to why this is no different to driving down the road and chucking good money out the window  please.

I'd like to know why you've got nearly 14000 posts on an internet forum? that's stupid!

That was 20 years ago. I’d suspect it costs considerably more now. 220 francisees would suggest its a business model that works though. Good luck to them.

Exactly it does work for Green Thumb, and I bet they don’t get all the work in for all of their franchisees.

How long have you been window cleaning for?

[cgh window cleaning]

I have to some what agree with NWH why would you choose the ionic franchise over some like Vins or Damiens that supply customers and get you turning over money from day one.

It's easy to say others do not supply customers but please you can't compare almost national house hold names to a local company with a couple of vans.
Green thumb,Chips away,Dyno rod etc are all very, very well known brands and trusted brands with a proven track record the same goes for the likes of McDonald's and costa if you're even lucky enough to get excepted they very, very rarely fail.

[NWH]

Green thumb blokes are miserable they do a few where I go,and I’ve been window cleaning a day why are you offering me a franchise opportunity lol. Also Green Thumb in some cases do an awful job they treated a law at one of my jobs huge place they put about 30 sacks of the wrong stuff on the grass,killed most of it she wasn’t happy.
