By combining a small financial investment successful 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. All too often, when an individual starts a business, he/she does not have in place the support mechanisms he/she needs to succeed. When you buy into a franchise, especially a franchise, you receive comprehensive support services designed to ensure you are able to take advantage of every market opportunity. Over the last 12 years, we have gathered home invaluable proprietary consumer data from all across the nation. Consumer data which goes far beyond the typical one or two-dimensional type databases. Proprietary consumer data that not only reflects the demographics of our most valuable customers but profiles their actual lifestyles and psychographic characteristics as well.

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.

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 businesses 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 successful ideas and sales concepts with all members of the company''s national franchise team.
