Corporate Support and Demand for Services Draws Couple to Miracle Method Franchise Ownership

By

Like many other Americans, David Dowdy has experienced the loss of a job. He worked as a senior corporate buyer for Circuit City until it closed its doors in 2009. His wife, Elizabeth, taught customer service at a nearby college, and after David lost his job, they decided to look into the opportunity of owning their own business.

With the help of a business broker, they began to look at the options available to them and researched ten franchise concepts. They attended four different Discovery Days and considered one serious job offer before they chose to start a Miracle Method franchise. The key factors that influenced their decision were:

  1. The overall franchisee satisfaction with the level of support received from the corporate office.
  2. The need in the community for the product and its ability to thrive in a time of economic recession.
  3. The national staff was genuinely dedicated to its franchisees.

In just two months after establishing their franchise, the Dowdys opened their first showroom. Less than two years later, they opened an even larger showroom. Elizabeth said “Our showroom legitimizes our business to the customer… it’s a huge asset in closing sales and I can’t imagine not having one.”

In a time where many small businesses struggle to survive, the Dowdys’ franchise proves Miracle Method’s recession resistance. They increased their sales by 41% in their second year, of which David said “We wanted a recession resistant business and we got it. We anticipate double digit growth again this year.”

The Dowdys offer the following advice for anyone looking to open their own franchise: “Ask tons of questions and move on if they stop answering. For every question we asked, Miracle Method responded quickly and accurately. The National Office continues to be very responsive to our needs.”

If you’re ready to own your own business, we invite you to visit the Miracle Method website to franchise ownership. We will be there for you every step of the way, just as we have been for the Dowdys and all of our other franchise owners. Call us today at 800-444-8827 to request info and get started.

The floor of my fiberglass tub is very soft. Can it be reinforced?

By

Fiberglass is one of the more common materials used in the creation of bathtubs and showers. While it is a very common material, it is also a material that is known to cause some issues. After a few years of use, some homeowners find that their fiberglass tubs or showers develop a soft spot on the floor. This soft spot can lead to cracks and water leaks. It’s important, therefore, to take action as soon as you notice that soft spot!

Miracle Method Surface Refinishing can restore your fiberglass tub to a like-new condition. We have a unique repair and refinishing process in which we use the most advanced resins and fiberglass refinishing materials to rebuild and patch any hole, crack, or damage, as well as reinforce soft spots. While we’re there, we can also restore the finish to your lackluster tub, or even change the color if you wish.

As most fiberglass tubs and showers are built into the structural framing, repairing and refinishing a fiberglass unit in place can save homeowners significant money.

A repaired and refinished fiberglass tub or shower by Miracle Method will look just as wonderful as it did the day it was installed, and best of all – you won’t have to deal with the hassle or expense of replacement.
