Typically, the latest marketing, sales, training, information systems and operational plans and programs are unveiled at the national convention, along with the latest advertising and promotional campaigns. Interactive workshops and seminars are always a part of this annual event, and franchisees are encouraged to attend a myriad of social gatherings to mingle with their counterparts from diverse sections of the United States. The primary purpose of the convention is to expose company franchisees to what''s new, different and unique with regards to the company, and to provide a productive platform for sharing successful ideas and sales concepts with all members of the company''s national franchise team.

In entrepreneurialcompanies becoming part of the nations largest window covering franchise organization, you immediately gain access to one of our most important and valuable assets, which we refer to as TurnKey Marketing. Semi-Annual Regional Meetings To ensure that all franchisees are entrepreneurialcompanies supported at the local and/or grass roots level, we meet regionally with our franchisees on a semi-annual basis to address any local concerns, problems or challenges that are “unique” to their specific trading areas. These meetings provide a forum for the exchange of fresh, timely information, ideas and concepts that lead to a more successful franchise. Some of the topics covered include: training, hiring, sales, marketing, new products, information systems, operations, procedures, installation, database marketing, administrative procedures, efficiency, running your business for profit, local challenges, “how to…” sessions, advertising techniques, and a variety of other issues of local interest.

A True In-Home Business As a company franchisee, you''ll work out of your home and vehicle. One of the primary selling features of the company concept is convenience - we bring the product to the customer and provide in-home sales consultations. Because of this, and the fact that you order inventory only when you close a sale, you''ll only need to stock inventory immediately prior to installation. Typically this can be accomplished in your garage. No worry about paying monthly rent for a store front and having that expense eating into your profitability. Low Overhead Overhead, which is typically associated with reduced profitability, is the cost of doing business. History has proven that the lower the overhead, the higher the profits. There are many components that can make up overhead, including store rent, advertising and marketing efforts, personnel, administrative costs and stored inventory, to name a few.
