Franchising, Part Deux

Posted in Main, business-a-go-go at 1:02 pm by carrie

Okay, so… I’ve gotten a bit of buzz about opening a Violets are Blue Franchise so I’m going to talk a little more about it :)

I’m going to learn as much as I can about the subject of duplicating my business “model” (it’s not really a model… but we’ll just call it that! ha!) then possibly hold a little “clinic” at the shop about running a store. I’ll answer questions and possibly serve punch and pie (now… everyone will be there because hey… free punch and pie).

If you are truly interested, gather up your questions and let me know! I do have a few out-of-towners so if you think you can drive in, please let me know your schedules so I can plan accordingly :) I don’t think I’ll be organized for at least a month, especially while we try to get our classroom up and running. Perhaps I can talk someone into video taping it so we can send copies to those who couldn’t attend :)

No pics in this post! But I have some coming since we are putting together this garden party for Saturday afternoon! Ugh! What is with not being able to find a gardener? We’ve had 3 just disappear on us and I spent all week calling around with only 2 callbacks. And one guy wanted over $600 to do a simple “mow and blow”. Perhaps I’m in the wrong business! Landscaping and lawn mowing, here I come! ;) Although, I’d have to work on my skills… our yard currently looks a little choppy to say the least!

Happy Friday to all!!!

    I would definitely love to be a landscaper where I live on the Cape… they make lots of money and get a glorious tan in the process! How exciting to be thinking of franchising!
