Question:
Isn't a low cost franchise much easier to get started?
Research for your Low Cost Franchise
Whether you are buying a low cost franchise or not, you still need to determine that there is a demand for the product or service. Define your potential customers and figure out how and where they live. Do they buy your product or service on an impulse or is it a pre-planned and researched purchase? A low cost franchise like a snack or ice cream store depends heavily on foot traffic for impulse buys. Location is very important to these kinds of businesses. On the other hand, most people don't hire a cleaning service because they happened to walk by an office one day. For those types of businesses, advertising and publicly displaying information on the business is probably the best way to make an impact (people are more likely to research such services before purchasing them).
*Whether or not you find low cost franchise opportunities, figure out how to reach your prospective customers and what messages will reach them.
