THE OPPORTUNITY
Franchising with Cookie Advantage allows our customized gift franchisees to start a low cost business that offers proven marketing solutions to businesses that implement a customer follow-up and appreciation program, utilizing the delivery of cookie packages by mail as thank you gifts or incentives for return customers or new referral business. When you become a Cookie Advantage franchisee, we will allow you to use our ‘Cookie Advantage’ trademark, trade names, services marks and logos for the operation of a Cookie Advantage low-cost start up business.
Customer Retention Programs are the ideal way to finalize the customer experience, achieve profitable repeat buyers and turn referrals into sales. Our customized gift franchise helps customers put their brand in front of customers 365 days a year and motivate their customers to refer business through incentives and word of mouth advertising to their friends and family
Franchisees will sell our customized packages to business customers, then bake, prepare and package the cookies for shipping.
Low Startup Investment: For a candidate with the right mix of talents, a Cookie Advantage customized gift franchise is not only easy to begin, but financially far more accessible than many other franchise opportunities. See The Investment, below, for details.
High Income Potential: Not only is it comparatively easy to start this low-cost start up franchise, but the income potential is significant. Income will be impacted by the geographic area and available client base, but the Cookie Advantage franchise owners all over the US are delighted with their Return on Investment and realize impressive incomes.
Work/Life Balance: The Cookie Advantage Founders had in mind the creation of a business that was not only lucrative, but that would not require owners to spend their entire week at work. Our franchisees enjoy a 4-day work week, Monday through Thursday, and find it necessary to work far fewer hours than a typical business owner. This allows them to spend time on the things that are important to them like family, travel, and more.
Low Overhead: Once you’ve purchased your initial equipment for producing your baked goods, and the printing materials to create the promotional items, your costs per month will be for postage, shipping materials and ingredients for the baked goods. These costs will vary as your business grows.
Limited Employees: Many of our franchise owners manage their entire businesses on their own. All of our operations have a minimal number of employees who manage the packaging and shipping of the gift packages. A Cookie Advantage franchise can be run on a limited number of people with great success.
THE INVESTMENT
Most potential franchise owners will be faced with options that cost between a few hundred thousand dollars to a few million dollars. With Cookie Advantage, a new franchise owner can be fully equipped with everything they need to get started for a comparatively low investment that will include the equipment and systems that will get you off the ground quickly.
Our franchise fee is $29,500, with a total investment range to start your business from $75,410 to $131,000. Your investment will vary depending upon the production equipment purchased (used vs. new), your production location, licensing and permits, computer hardware and software purchases, the inventory you procure, etc. Royalties are paid at 6% of Gross Revenues per month, or $800 per month, whichever is greater and a $100 technology fee.
