Annual Franchise Convention In addition to its semi-annual regional meetings, the company holds its national franchise convention in a different venue each year - a place where it feels opertunities its franchisees will enjoy themselves and can relax and absorb new information, ideas and concepts about the business and the window covering industry in general.

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 opertunities 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.

By combining a small financial investment from each franchisee, we are able to produce and execute a marketing and advertising program in a much more cost effective manner than a single franchisee could on his own.
