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 successfulhomebasedbusinesses a productive platform for sharing successful ideas and sales concepts with all members of the company''s national franchise team.

A franchise with our company has value, above and beyond the price of getting into business, because the company has invested considerable time and money into developing a successful business prototype. We know the industry, and this knowledge will help the franchisee avoid the trial-and-error pitfalls that typically contribute to the failure of many small businesses. Minimal Investment Fees: The cost for a home-based business depends simply on whether you buy one territory or two at the time of initial purchase. The purchase price is made up of two components: the one-time franchise fee and the territory fee. Therefore, you can easily compute the cost of your business. In addition to the national name brand recognition you receive as a result of being part of our family, your investment includes: Round-trip airfare and hotel accommodations for your initial training,

No Standing Inventory When a business has to carry standing inventory, cash flow is decreased and the cost of doing business proportionately increased. In order to make your money work for you, ideally you would want to purchase your product only when an order is confirmed. This way there is no cost for holding inventory, and the sale is guaranteed. That''s the way the company franchise network operates! Centralized Marketing Efforts The saying goes “If a customer doesn''t know about your product, how can he buy it?” This is the theory of advertising and marketing - getting the word out! Part of the franchise network is a centralized marketing effort that takes advantage of economies of scale.
