Miracle Method ranked in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 for 10 consecutive years!

Every year, Entrepreneur Magazine publishes its annual ranking of franchise brands based on financial and statistical data. Using this information, Entrepreneur recognizes the Top 500 Franchise opportunities in the US and Canada. It is estimated that there are somewhere between 3,000-5,000 franchise brands, so it is quite impressive to be included in the ranking – viewed by most in the industry as the best of franchised brands. 2016 marks 10 consecutive years of Miracle Method being included in the ranking.

“Being recognized by an organization of the caliber of Entrepreneur is an honor,” said John Tubiolo, Vice President of Business Development. “We are the leader in our industry and we strive to have the best systems in place for our franchisees so that they can experience success and growth in their businesses.”

As the leader in the refinishing industry, Miracle Method boasts the largest national footprint and growing. For a relatively small investment, $85- $125,000- the Miracle Method model is easily scalable with strong revenue diversity from both residential and commercial markets.

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. The support has been simply phenomenal and the executive leadership at the corporate office is right in step with giving us the tools we need to be successful.”

Miracle Method has an aggressive growth plan in 2016 looking to add at least 15 franchisees in target markets such as Florida, Texas and Arizona with additional territories available throughout the country.

“The demand for refinishing is booming. We need more franchisees in these territories so we can better serve these markets and our national accounts. We are looking for 2016 to be a big growth year for Miracle Method. It is an exciting time to be part of the Miracle Method network.” John Tubiolo

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

January 7, 2016 By miraclemethod

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.

Franchise Owners Mary Beth and Jim Hudek in Cincinnati, OH

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?

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.
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.
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.
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.
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?

Miracle Method has been the preferred refinisher in North America since 1979. That is over 35 years of experience!
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.
Great sales potential – many Miracle Method franchisees gross over $1,000,000 each year!!!!
Proven Success – 63% of all of our franchisees have been in business for five years or more!
Low Initial Investment – Get started for around $100k.
Better margins compared to retail, food or restaurants.
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.

A Time to Give Thanks

November 25, 2015 By miraclemethod

Although we are thankful all year, this time of the year reminds us to pause and take stock of all we are grateful for and express that thanks outwardly. We all get busy with the hustle and bustle of daily life and sometimes forget to appreciate all that we have and truly be thankful. Being thankful is more than saying, “Thank you” to the checker at the supermarket or being grateful when traffic is light on a rushed day. It’s good to be grateful for the little victories in life, but it’s also important to stop and evaluate what really matters in our lives and to let those we care about know that we are thankful for them and the way that they enrich our lives.

So, we would like to take this opportunity to say thank you.

Thank you to our hard working franchisees that bring innovative ideas to us and support the local economy by running a small business and providing jobs to the areas they serve. Our franchisees are committed to quality and service and we are so grateful that they chose Miracle Method.

Thank you to our staff for working so hard and your commitment to Miracle Method. We are so fortunate to have a team of creative, loyal, and intelligent people that believe in small business and helping our franchisees succeed.

And finally, thank you to our customers. We know that you have choices when it comes to updating your homes. We have been updating homes for over 35 years and we could not have done it without you.

Preparing Your Bathroom for Holiday Guests without the Stress

November 20, 2015 By miraclemethod

It’s mid-November and the holidays are just around the corner. It can be a very stressful time of the year with lots of shopping and cooking and preparing the home for guests, not to mention having the family together. The to-do lists can be overwhelming and it’s easy to overdo it and expect everything to be perfect.

The reality is, even when the holidays are approaching, regular life is still happening. The kids need help with homework. Dinner needs to be prepared. The laundry needs to be done. The dog needs to go to the groomer. The furnace is acting up, and to top it all off, your son dropped the handheld shower nozzle and chipped the side of the tub.

Take a deep breath, a chip can easily be repaired. You don’t have to call a contractor to rip out the tub and replace it. Miracle Method can help. Not only can Miracle Method refinish the entire tub, but we repair chips and cracks all the time. You want your guest bath to look nice for your guests and Miracle Method provides a great alternative to costly and time consuming replacement.

So, you’ve got the chip fixed, what are some other things you can do to make your bathroom look and feel great for guests?

A deep clean – clean the floor and baseboards and clean around all of the fixtures. Put on some music and get the family involved in helping.
Purchase a new bath rug at an online or local discount retailer. There are sales everywhere during the holidays. Don’t pay full price!
Pick up a scented candle and some decorative soaps to display on the counter
Place some travel-sized toiletries in a basket such as deodorant, toothpaste, mouthwash, a spare toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner and hand lotion. If your guests have forgotten something in your luggage, no need to worry – you’ve already got it on hand.
Wash the shower curtain and liner to freshen them up.
Clear out some storage space for guests to store their personal things.
Make sure there is extra toilet paper under the sink.

If your guests feel comfortable and at home, they will enjoy their stay more and you won’t have to be catering to them as much. Preparing for their stay ahead of time means less running around for you and more time for conversation and fun.
