The increasing numbers of seniors represents a growth opportunity for companies of all kinds since older Americans control 70 percent of the disposable income in the US. Numerous businesses are rushing to serve this fast-growing marketplace, but only one - 101 Mobility - has positioned itself in a unique market niche to capitalize on America's monumental shift in aging lifestyle.<br /><br />101 Mobility is the nation's first full-service sales, service and installation provider of a complete line of affordable, high-quality mobility and accessibility products and equipment including stair lifts, auto lifts, ramps, porch lifts, power wheelchairs and scooters, plus a wide variety of other medical equipment such as walkers, hospital beds and more. 101 Mobility just launched a franchise program and is seeking to become the only full-service dealer with a nationally recognized brand in the the mobility products industry.<br /><br />101 Mobility is on the incline: More than 90 percent of seniors have a desire to "age in place" by remaining independent and in their own home. As a result, according to MedTech Research, durable medical equipment is one of six homecare product categories expected to benefit from demographic and healthcare trends and is likely to experience significant market growth, expanding at a compound annual rate of more than four percent through 2012!<br /><br />Join your hosts, Marty McDermott & Don Johnson as they meet with Dave Pazgan, CEO of 101 Mobility.

Consumers have information at their fingertips. They expect quick answers, and they are not interested in "being sold" on a product anymore. The franchises who adapt to this new environment should prosper.<br /><br />Also, the franchise industry has been capitalizing on baby boomers that are living longer. One trend is franchising concepts which allow retired folks to enjoy themselves longer. Examples include: cruises, fitness centers, and golf-related franchises. Senior medical and non-medical care is also a rapidly growing segment.<br /><br />Other sectors that should continue to grow in 2010 include:<br /><br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Children's education</span> franchises and parent outsourcing is still expanding</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Green</span> continues to grow</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Home-based franchises</span> are popular due to convenience and low investment</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Food sectors</span> with new concepts are constantly popping up</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Discount retail and resale shops</span> are increasing since consumer spending is down</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Local businesses</span> that support locally grown produce</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Alcohol</span> that is affordable</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Pet spending</span> is up according to the American Pet Products Association</li></ul>Franchise Buyer Direct (Sell Franchise)http://www.blogger.com/profile/06395292361390707922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202406863084355578.post-35521695125901015612010-04-27T14:55:00.005-04:002010-04-27T15:01:22.415-04:00Don & Marty Recently on the Lynn Johnson Motivational Radio ShowDon Johnson and Marty McDermott, hosts of Franchise Interviews, were recently interviewed themselves on the Lynn Johnson Motivational Radio Show, a nationally broadcast show that was about franchises.
