Miracle Method has also been the recipient of consecutive awards for franchisee satisfaction from the Franchise Business Review (FBR).  Not only does a Miracle Method franchise present a great opportunity for entrepreneurs, but the ongoing support ranks high among existing franchise owners.

Phil Panarisi, Miracle Method Franchisee in Indianapolis said, “…Our franchise is set to break another record this year and we could not be happier with the support we’ve received from both the corporate office and other franchisees.

Daily Herald: Chicago-based Veteran Opens Villa Park Miracle Method

Fred Haas, 62, has revitalized his career by extending the life of countertops, sinks, tile, bathtubs and more with refinishing services that cost up to 75 percent less than the cost to replace them.

A former Electrician’s Mate Second Class submariner, Haas has been a general contractor for most of his life, running his own construction business for 25 years. It was there that he learned the art of renovation, and his career had him working on everything from condos to hospitals. After the recession hit, Haas became worried about the future of his company, and with his passion for being a business owner driving him, he discovered Miracle Method.

“My future goal is simply to become a dominant player in the Chicago metro area,” Haas said. “I hope to have three locations running within the next five years. With the system and business plan Miracle Method has in place, combined with the money saving services I provide that any homeowner can benefit from, that’s a goal I know I can achieve.”

Miracle Method Franchise targets Las Vegas in Midst of Housing Boom

By

The recent unanimous decision by the Fed to hike up interest rates has a lot of people asking how their spending will be effected. But when it comes to home loans in particular, people want to know: “How will this affect housing sales?”

Miracle Method Franchise targets Las Vegas in Midst of Housing Boom

According to John Tubiolo, the Vice President of Franchise Sales and Development for Miracle Method, the nation’s largest professional bathroom and refinishing franchise, the Fed’s raising interest rates won’t necessarily affect mortgages. But this doesn’t mean the housing market as a whole won’t be influenced—he said a few small increases would show the economy is improving, and may actually spark a spike in local housing sales from people who have been “sitting on the fence” and finally decide they should buy before rates start increasing too much.

“Do you want a three percent interest rate with a lousy economy or a six percent interest rate with a booming economy? Rates are going up for a reason, because the economy is improving,” Tubiolo said.

The higher interest rates may cause a bump in housing sales for a few months from people who have been lagging in their decision-making, and for companies like Miracle Method, this uptick in housing sales can mean big business. According to Tubiolo, this is a good time for the brand to target housing markets in cities like Las Vegas, where homeowners are especially spurred by this recent hike.

“The recent rise in interest rates is a sign that the economy is improving, and this also means that the housing market is improving. This is a great opportunity for Miracle Method, as more and more people will be in need of home improvements to give their home the biggest bang for its buck when it’s up for sale,” said Tubiolo.

As the company enters into 2016 focused on growth, they’re looking hone in on an expansion in Las Vegas in addition to other specific markets like Florida, Texas and Arizona.

New Year’s Resolution- Take Control of Your Future; Start now by Buying a Proven Franchise!

By

Do you daydream? Envision yourself on a tropical island, drink with an umbrella in hand, the sun shining on your face? How about a bigger house complete with property so your neighbors aren’t right on top of you? What about working for yourself and managing your own business, rather than slaving away day after day and seeing someone else reap the benefits?

Starting your own business can be very scary, especially if you have never done it before. You’ve seen those little independent coffee shops and restaurants pop up in the neighborhood, only to close after a year or two in business. There are a lot of factors that go into whether or not a business is going to be successful, but your chances of success are exponentially better if you purchase a franchise with a proven system versus going it alone.

Maybe it’s time to stop daydreaming and take action. If you’ve been thinking about taking control of your destiny for quite a while, what are you waiting for? Make 2016 the year that you stop wishing and start doing!

Why a Franchise?

  1. Owning a franchise means you go into business for yourself, but not by yourself. You have a team of corporate staff and other franchise owners to help you every step of the way.
  2. Brand recognition and proven systems – the reason the systems are in place with the franchisor is because they are tried and true and the brand has already been established. This means consumer confidence.
  3. Training – franchisors offer initial training before you speak with your first prospect and ongoing training helps you stay current with industry trends. Rather than being responsible for your own education, the franchisor provides ongoing education for you.
  4. Marketing & advertising assistance – an established website, print advertisements and professionally produced television commercials all cost a lot of money and time. When you buy a franchise, you have access to professional advertising tools as well as professional consultants to help you make good decisions.
  5. Purchasing power – if you’re an independent business owner, you have to purchase your supplies at retail pricing. When you are part of a franchise organization, you can purchase expensive materials at significant discounts because of the power of a large network of customers for vendors.

Why Miracle Method?

  1. Miracle Method has been the preferred refinisher in North America since 1979. That is over 35 years of experience!
  2. High demand – no matter the economy, there is a great demand for refinishing services for both commercial and residential customers. Tear-out and replacement are not only messy and time consuming, but costly and wasteful on the environment.
  3. Great sales potential – many Miracle Method franchisees gross over $1,000,000 each year!!!!
  4. Proven Success – 63% of all of our franchisees have been in business for five years or more!
  5. Low Initial Investment – Get started for around $100k.
  6. Better margins compared to retail, food or restaurants.
  7. Dedicated support team – Miracle Method’s corporate staff is 100% committed to the success of our franchisees. We have the knowledge, experience and dedication to help you achieve success and what’s more? We care about our franchisees.

Are you ready to take control of your own destiny? Give us a call today to find out more about owning a Miracle Method franchise 855-212-7337 or visit www.miraclemethod.com/franchise.
