Why would I buy a Revitalise franchise instead of opening my own Well-being centre?
We are really confident that the Revitalise proposition represents amazing value.
We have spent a great deal of time studying our market, watching growth patterns, seeking out ways to make improvements and ensure success. We believe that our offering is the strongest in the market today and represents the only established, proven business model in the holistic Well-being industry at this time.
When a Franchisee works with us they get a ‘ready-made’ world-class management team in place - and it’s included in the service.
This management structure and experience would cost any business literally tens of thousands of pounds to put together (it wouldn’t really be possible), and like everything else - you get this handed to you on a plate as p art of the package.
You will receive the full operational support of our own highly successful and experienced Management Team (Richard and Clare Brown) and additionally marketing and franchising expertise from our Franchise Doctors Partner (Jim Tickner).
The setup we have at Revitalise really is unique and, being frank with you, it would be extremely difficult to create a similar business with the same look and feel without our input, and it again emphasises why our business proposition is so appealing!
The launch of a successful Revitalise centre is going to take a HUGE amount of effort from the business owner and all of the other significant people in their business.
However, because we have done so much of the work already, the amount of time that you have to allocate is massively reduced!
Aren’t there enough Well-being centres like this already? Do we need more?
Well-being is a massive-growth business with the Lifestyle industry (worth £130 million in 2004 & expected to rise to £200 million by 2008)!
Although there are currently many healthy cafés, health shops and centres offering alternative therapies and/or classes, there is currently no direct competition to our holistic approach to Well-being!
We offer healthy eating, a shop and alternative therapies/exercise classes all under one roof. Our clients are able to take a healthy drink in our café or browse the shop, and after exercise or therapy, can meet up with like-minded people in the café, or enjoy a healthy-eating take-away.
Will I be able to attract sufficient customers and what happens if I can’t?
The success of this new venture will depend fundamentally on providing a service second-to-none in every area of the business.
To support this we will be implementing well planned, proven sales and marketing strategies that will generate revenue by both improving existing customer retention and attracting new clients, in order to make the Revitalise franchise successful. Our ‘Business Growth Acceleration Program’ will ensure this in the following ways:
1) Differentiating Revitalise such that it appeals directly to the core target market.
2) Creating a clear proposition (“Unique Perceived Benefit”) to customers.
3) Utilising best practice direct response marketing strategies.
4) Exploiting multiple lead generation channels.
5) Focusing on referrals for happy clients.
6) Testing and measuring to ensure sales and marketing is performed in the most cost effective way.
7) The Planet Revitalise package offers franchisees a structured, systematic and focussed offering and defined geographic territory.
The total care package has been developed to provide the new franchisee with all that is needed to launch and operate their Revitalise business immediately after training. This includes:
1) Assistance and advice in locating premises.
2) Leads and sales from the Revitalise website and other web-generated business.
3) Support for sales conversion, lead generation and local sales.
4) Assistance with store interior design.
5) Use of the brand name and logo.
6) Franchise Operations Manual.
7) Full Business Management and Technical Training.
8) Initial stationery and literature.
9) Ongoing training and support.
10) Assistance with the Launch of your Business.
11) Training in Revitalise’s in-house Client Scheduling System.
12) Supply of initial start-up product and guaranteed supply-line for ongoing requirements.
We will also promote your business growth whereby, upon achieving certain targets (revenue, profit and quality), successful franchisees are encouraged to purchase further franchises. In this way the successful franchisee can build their business into a substantial entity, enjoying accelerated and secure growth.
What’s the competition like?
As mentioned earlier, we have been unable to find anyone in the UK with a similar business model to that which we are promoting. We are not a coffee shop; we are not a therapy centre and we are not a health shop (we are all 3, and all under the same roof!).
Alternative therapy is offered by some therapists, either at a residential or business address, as are classes. Healthy-eating cafes also exist, as do shops concentrating on the Well-being market.
However, there are no businesses currently with a café/shop/classes/therapies offering similar to ours. We are at the forefront of this market, and we have already proven our worth at our premises in Hove.
The Revitalise franchise concept is unique in the Well-being marketplace, offering franchisees a complete package, including training, guaranteed supply lines, assistance with premises and sales and marketing support. This makes it extremely appealing to people who want to concentrate on the growth of their business.
What type of person is perfect for this business?
We are very selective about the people we take on board. Why? Because
our success is directly related to your success. Therefore we can’t afford
to accept just anyone. We know that the ability to earn over £90,000 a year is enough to attract anyone. That’s why we have a stringent policy on recruitment.
For starters you must have the following qualities, or we won’t even consider you:
1) Are highly motivated.
2) Have good business acumen.
3) Preferably some prior knowledge of the Hospitality marketplace.
4) Are customer-focussed.
5) Are organised and professional in your approach.
6) Can successfully manage a small but driven team.
7) Are ambitious for success.
And most importantly...
Have the drive, desire, and ambition to own
and grow a flourishing Health and Well-being business!
Can I really earn over £90,000 a year from just one Revitalise franchise?
Yes you can! It may sound hard to believe, but because of the way we structure our business, the systems we have created and the support of national sales and marketing, you can most definitely earn this money.
However, don’t for one minute think that it’s a ‘walk in the park’. You still have to earn your money! You do have to put the effort in, but because our systems are so detailed and straightforward you work smarter - not harder.
In fact once your Revitalise business is up and running and you have a sustained and stable business, you won’t have to work more than 40 hours a week, and often much less, to earn over £90,000 a year.
What support structure do you have in place?
We believe that the support structure of any Franchise organisation is one of the most important aspects of running a successful Franchise.
You have to know that you’ll never be left alone ‘to get on with it’. Of course, our training is so detailed you won’t need constant supervision, but you will need help from time to time.
That’s why we have a support structure in place that ensures your success.
The prime task of the Revitalise Central Support Team is to look after the franchisees. They do this by running the initial recruitment and training, monitoring compliance with the Operations Manual, mentoring franchisees (as required) and monitoring each franchisee’s business.
We guarantee that you’ll never feel alone. You’ll be comforted in the knowledge that we place huge value on supporting you and all of our other colleagues.
How do your training and systems compare to other Franchise organisations?
We’ve built a highly successful Well-being centre of our own. In collaboration with The Franchise Doctors, we have put together an incomparable set of training manuals and courses whereby, with step-by-step instructions, and an attention to detail that will stagger you, we know we can develop you into a fully trained and motivated Revitalise franchisee in no more than 20 days flat!
We believe we offer the best training available in our industry.
We don’t accept everyone as franchisees, but those that qualify already have the basic skills - we just give them our tools of the trade!
How much is the Franchise fee?
The Franchise fee will increase as franchisee take-up increases. At the moment it’s just £23,000 + VAT, but this will be reviewed upwards after each training course.
What does the Franchise fee include?
The Franchise Fee includes all of the following:
1) The Franchise Licence: use of the Revitalise brand name and logo.
2) Full, intensive residential training course of up to 4 weeks, covering aspects such as reception, shop, café, kitchen and running your own franchise.
3) Franchise Operations Manual which details all aspects of Franchise set-up and day-to-day running.
4) Reception computer, hardware and software, EPSOS till and scanner.
5) Initial shop sign and A-board.
6) Start-up literature pack, including menus, business cards, appointment cards and letterheads etc.
7) Assistance with finding suitable premises.
8) Café and Therapy room design.
9) Initial local Sales and Marketing costs for advertising through the Franchise Direct website, Google Adwords and Yellow Pages.
10) Assistance with recruiting and building a team of suitable therapists and class teachers.
11) Proven supply chain for all of your product purchases.
12) Exclusive Revitalise territory.
13) Access to the Customer Acquisition website and the Revitalise extranet.
You will receive up to 20 days’ training, including hands-on experience of both the Reception area and the Café, and classroom training on how to run your Franchise, using step-by-step instructions included in the Operations Manual and the Business Growth Acceleration Program.
Included in your Franchise Fee is also a complete initial sales and marketing pack (Marketing Package) designed to get your Revitalise business off to a flying start. The pack includes the following:
- Yellow Pages subscription and advertising: we will even write your advert using our own ground breaking techniques.
- Press advertising: we will ensure that potential clients in your territory know that a Revitalise business is opening in your chosen area.
- Direct Mail (flyers, leaflet and brochures): your new business will use various forms of hard-copy advertising in order to maximise market penetration.
We really have thought of everything and will be there throughout to ensure you have all the support and advice you need.
How long does it take to get back my Franchise Fee?
Unlike many other Franchise opportunities we’ve set the fee at a level where we know 99% of our people will have earned more than double the amount in their first year.
Can you guarantee I will be able to achieve the success you describe?
We are totally convinced your Revitalise business will be a massive success. In fact, if you don’t recoup your Franchise Fee in the first year, we will make up the difference!
That is a guarantee worth £23,000!!!
