When you’re looking to invest in a franchise, knowing which one is right for you can be harder than it seems. So if you’ve come here scratching your head, well, you’re in luck. We hope that these tips will help you learn how to discern what franchise will be best for you and your salon and if that franchise is with Cherry Blow Dry Bar.
What is your budget?
Different franchises can have vastly different costs depending on their business model. Will the amount you’re going to invest in this franchise be worth how much you expect to make in return? Deciding how much you’re willing to invest and how much would be wisest for you will weigh in greatly on the franchise you choose to invest in.
What to look for in franchises
When you’re looking at your options it’s important to consider a few different factors. First, how successful has the franchise been? Is there a strong chain and well-known brand already established? You should also consider how professional the franchisor is when you first contact them. If they’re calloused and dismissive of your questions and concerns, it’s probably wise to avoid that franchise. Seek out one that will answer your questions promptly and is willing to clear up any confusion you may have. Another helpful tip is to consider the current market. How does the franchise handle marketing and advertising? How do they handle sales? Think about how these will be received in your area, and in general. If it will work well and you can keep up with it, then it might just be the franchise you’re looking for.
What do you want to do?
There are a couple of different types of franchisees in the world. One is the Owner type of franchisee, who tends to be hands-on and very much involved in keeping the business running. The other type is the “Absentee”. Being an absentee owner isn’t a bad thing, it just means that you hire out people to manage the majority of the business after investing. So you want to be sure that what you’re investing in will fit the type of franchisee you wish to be. Do you want to be hands-on? If so will you be an effective worker and enjoy the work involved? Or are you more apt to hire employees instead? This is important to know because different franchisors offer different opportunities with their franchise.
Talk to current Franchisees
One of the best things you can do when you’re looking to invest is to talk to the franchisees of the franchises you’ve found yourself interested in. Talking to people who have already invested is a great way to be able to get an inside view on how they work and how successful they can be. Be sure to ask them about things like licensing fees, support systems, and the pros and cons of having invested in the franchise.
