Low-Cost Franchise Opportunities

Your traditional low-cost franchise opportunities include: Anytime Fitness, Orange Theory Fitness, Crossfit, Curves, Gold’s Gym, Planet Fitness, Pure Barre, Snap Fitness, and UFC Gym locations are very popular low-cost franchise opportunities. Unfortunately, the cost to start one of these types of franchises can be in the range of $250,000 all the way up to $2 million. When looking for low-cost franchise opportunities in 2015 or 2016 a large number of entrepreneurs don’t want to start half a million dollars in the hole. Rather than sinking an entire life’s savings, plus business loans, into a franchise it is smart to look for cheaper opportunities. Splash and Dash for Dogs will allow you to open a pet store franchise for under $60,000.

Taking the time to research all options available before starting a franchise is imperative. This type of business venture will consume one’s life for many years down the road. The hard work upfront will allow small business owners to live the lives of their dreams later. Becoming your own boss could make a world of difference in overall happiness. Once your pet store franchise has been established and it is making money you will have the opportunity to make your own schedule and decide when you want to go on vacation.

Finding Year-Round Franchises

Something that can be very difficult in the fitness and gym industry is fickle members. It is well known that the largest number of sign-ups for a gym membership happens in January. People get back from the holidays and they have a New Year’s resolution to lose weight and get in shape. They may think they are going to spend three to five days in the gym every week but it simply does not happen for most Americans. They have delusions of grandeur thinking they will be able to lose 30 pounds of fat and gain 10 pounds of muscle in a few short weeks. Unfortunately, this is simply not the case and these “newbies” to the fitness industry end up giving up for the rest of the year and not going back to the gym.

Dog Grooming Franchises

A dog is going to need bathing and grooming year-round. Much like humans, pets are going to need to be washed on a consistent basis. People do not have to go to the gym three to five times a week but it is strongly suggested that they bathe multiple times a week. Sanitation is a necessity in life as unsanitary situations could cause sickness and possibly even worse. One of the reasons gym memberships decline after the new year is that people realize they have more important things to do such as advance in their career, spend time with their pets and families and bathe.

How to Effectively Email Market Your Pet Store Franchise

/in , /by

While some people think Facebook, Twitter and social media is the preferred method of communication it is important to note that the majority of business decisions are made through email and in real life. Internet users will often search Google to find what they are looking for but they are not going to communicate with a business on social media. They may ask a basic question on Twitter or Facebook but they are not going to complete a transaction through this mediums. When money is exchanging hands email is the preferred method as Internet users trust Gmail or an email system much more than a social media website.

With this in mind, it is very important to understand how to effectively email market your pet store franchise. The first thing you must do is provide a way for current or potential customers to submit their email address. Some businesses will have a sheet of paper at the counter while others will require an email to complete a transaction. The value of getting an email address is to reach out to customers when it comes to future deals and opportunities. Coupons and discount codes are sent out through email every single day in the retail world.

It is important to understand that Internet users can be overwhelmed with information. To effectively market your products or services it is strongly suggested not to send too many emails. How many emails are too many? That is determined by your audience. If you are a pet store franchise it is very likely the case that one email a day is too many. In fact, one email a week might be the optimal number of emails. To get the most reach with your email marketing it is a good idea to have a consistent schedule. Picking a particular day of the week and time to email every week is usually the most effective way to reach your audience.

With Gmail and other email services working hard to segment types of email it is highly likely that any type of email marketing will go into the “promotions” or “sales” folder. Unfortunately, some Internet users will rarely look in this part of their email. One way to combat this is to send a personalized email instead of a mass email to a large number of users. By sending a personalized email there is a higher likelihood that it will show up in their main inbox. This also shows that particular individual that you appreciate their business and you are not trying to spam them with too many offers.
