Critical Questions to Ask When Reviewing Franchise Brands

September 6, 2016 By miraclemethod

If you’re interested in investing in a franchise, take the time to seriously evaluate each opportunity. When you take the time to ask the right questions, you are more likely to identify successful opportunities. We recommend asking each franchise you are exploring these top five determining questions.

How do you keep a focus on growth and innovation?

Businesses who fail to maintain a high level of creativity or consistently make improvements, easily get left behind. For example, companies like Blockbuster, Borders and Kodak slowly disappeared after resisting change. When searching for the right franchise model, it’s important to learn more about the development plans of the franchise. Ask questions like, “what are your future plans for expansion?” Or, “How has your business changed as technology rapidly evolves?” Brands that stay fresh in the market are the ones who are consistently focused on innovation and continue to be more successful.

Are you able to easily adapt quickly to changes?

As many are aware, when dealing with any type of business environment there will be several changes that occur from unexpected forces. From organization structure to minimum wage, healthcare requirements and the overall economy, businesses are challenged. Whether it’s a large or small impact, the key to surviving good and bad economies is a proven business model.

How do you define your company’s competitive advantage?

Whichever franchise offering you choose to select, take a look at the competitive advantage offered. Whether its price, service, quality, location, or an existing customer base, having an advantage over your competitors will set your business apart. As always, understanding your customers is key to running a successful franchise. When reviewing franchise brands, use great resources like 2016’s Top Franchises from Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 list to guide you through the decision process of buying a franchise.

What is your strategy to maintain customer retention?

In any type of business you enter, return customers will be one of your top quality sources for leads. Successful franchises always take the necessary steps to keep customers coming back. Remember, if a franchise is not actively gathering and analyzing customer feedback, they are missing out on significant opportunities. Dedication to customer experience generates awareness and referrals, leading to even greater success!

Chuck Pistor, President of Miracle Method says, “Obtaining direct feedback from our customers helps us to improve business operations, correct shortcomings, and deliver excellent customer service.” The Miracle Method Franchise is rapidly growing to keep up with the impressive demand for its refinishing services, combined with a proven business model, unparalleled training programs and ongoing support systems.

What type of training and support will be provided?

The number one question to discuss when reviewing a franchise opportunity is the type of training and support that will be provided. Startup and ongoing training programs backed by extensive franchise support are critical to launching a successful start-up. Training programs are the building blocks to learning new techniques for a more productive workforce. Ultimately, excellent franchise training and support will not only create a strong and consistent brand, but maximize revenue opportunities for the entire network.

Success to Investing in a Mobile Franchise

June 10, 2016 By miraclemethod

Advantages of Mobile Franchise

Choosing the right franchise opportunity is an important and often difficult decision. Have you considered the benefits of selecting a franchise opportunity with a mobile service model? Mobile franchises are one of the fastest growing sectors in franchising – so if you haven’t considered it, you should, and here’s why.

GENERATE MORE SALES WITH LESS INVESTMENT- The total costs of expanding a mobile business often comes down to purchasing an additional vehicle unit, meaning significant less overhead for growth. Let’s take a look at adding one Miracle Method service unit. At an approximate investment of $26,000 ($16,000 vehicle, $6,000 equipment, and $4,000 technician training) on average can generate over $156,000 of sales a year, a weekly range of $3,000-$4,500. Each vehicle becomes a direct source of revenue for the franchise, a convenient alternative to a traditional franchise which may require a new an entirely new location to achieve growth.

NO LARGE RETAIL FACILITY REQUIRED- Have you researched the going rate for retail space in your area? Wow, price for retail spaces in many markets are cost prohibitive for a new entrepreneur! Many franchise options with a mobile service model require smaller facilities in a less visible area, which means, more affordable. Cash is king in starting a new business; the last thing you need to be concerned with is a large monthly lease expense, property taxes, and additional fees. Choosing a mobile franchise model can help you avoid extensive facility acquisition costs.

GENERATE HIGHER SALES REVENUE – Use Entrepreneur Magazine to research annual franchise rankings and select a mobile franchise model with a higher average sales ticket for a greater ROI. For example, the average ticket price for Miracle Method is about $1,100 – converting to a quicker return on investment than the average mobile franchise unit. A higher per job invoice helps achieve revenue goals quicker. Refinish a single tub for $350 or make 58 sandwiches at $6 each – seems like a no brainer!

EFFICIENT PLATFORM FOR BRAND AWARENESS – Promotion made simple! Company vehicles effectively serve as a universal branding tool for mobile franchises. Double your exposure while on the job site and while traveling to and from. Vehicles provide a super easy, cost effective marketing solution to increase brand awareness, rather than a traditional billboard or signage. A one-of-a-kind moving billboard will attract attention, engage new leads, and translate to increased brand awareness.

SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY – What’s new today, is old tomorrow. Immediately after home renovations are complete, home infrastructure begins to age. The constant cycle of replacing outdated surfaces in residential homes and commercial properties allows for continual refinishing updates. A successful franchise product or service exhibits a high level of demand, like the booming business of Miracle Method’s Surface Refinishing process. As trends begin to fade, the demand for constant kitchen and bath renovations will always exist. Mobile unit profitability combined with high demand, equals a great business opportunity.

CONSUMER DEMAND CONVENIENCE – Whether it is a sandwich, dry cleaning, glass repair or home services – convenience equals competitive advantage. Mobile business models are on the rise because consumers continue to speak – convenience matters. Miracle Method offers free estimates where color choices are brought right to the customer and the process of completely transforming the look of existing bathtubs or countertops can all be done without customers ever leaving their home.

Miracle Method of Northwest Atlanta Franchise Starting Huge Dorm Renovation

May 4, 2016 By miraclemethod

With over 35 years’ experience in the home building industry, Mike Simmons is running a Miracle Method Surface Refinishing franchise that tackles arguably the most important rooms of the home – kitchens and bathrooms.

“I’m a second-generation builder. My dad was the old-type home builder where he taught me how to do everything. People would call my dad about building a house, and we would go and frame it, do the shingles, siding, trimmed it out,” said Simmons.

Mr. Simmons was raised in Indiana, and moved to Georgia and started out remodeling homes, then moved into building houses including a number of them in Cobb, Georgia.

Since 2012, together with his wife Kay, Mike has been the proud owner of a Miracle Method franchise in Northwest Atlanta.

Regarding searching for a business opportunity, Simmons said, “We were looking for something different, something you could grow a company in a downturn market,” adding that a former employee had introduced him to the company during the economic downturn around 2008.

Since the beginning, the Simmons’ Marietta-based franchise has done a number of jobs across the North Metro Atlanta area, spanning from Paulding to Gwinnett counties. Outside of residential work, much of their works has been has been for commercial properties, including hospitals, schools, universities and hotels.

The Simmons’ franchise employs 11 people and up to 16 during the busiest times of the year, generating over 1 million in revenues in 2015.
Mike and Kay were the recipients of the President’s Award for 2015, which is hand selected by Miracle Method President Chuck Pistor to recognize Exemplary Service and Commitment to the network.

Miracle Method of Northwest Atlanta is preparing to begin one of their biggest projects in their 4 year history – refurbishing an estimated 340 bathrooms and floors at a university campus, mostly dorm bathrooms but also other areas including a tiled foyer. They will begin the work during the school’s Spring break while the students are off campus. Any work that is not completed during Spring break will be finished during the summer.

Mike and Kay just celebrated 32 years of marriage. Working together presents its challenges, but they create a good balance with one another. Mike is a very driven entrepreneur and Kay is more focused on the numbers and she keeps them grounded.

Miracle Method Surface Refinishing is looking to add 15-20 new franchise locations throughout the US and Canada in 2016 to keep up with our record growth. For more information visit: miraclemethodfranchise.com or call John Tubiolo, VP of Franchise Sales and Development at 855-212-7337.
