Roni Deutch Meets with Franchise Interviews, Thursday Dec. 9

Franchise Interviews speaks with Roni Deutch, founder of Roni Deutch Tax Center, this Thursday, December 9 on BlogTalkRadio.com at 10AM EST.

Roni Deutch has built her reputation as one of the most successful tax lawyers through hard work and dedication to the needs of taxpayers. Her competitive spirit and insatiable work ethic have made her a household name with nearly half of all American adults. Through her years of practice, she saw that many of her clients' tax problems were caused by sloppy and unprofessional tax return preparation.

Ms. Deutch decided it was time to put her experience to work for taxpayers across the country. Roni Deutch Tax Center is now filling the need for competent income tax preparation. In the February 2009 edition of Entrepreneur Magazine, Roni Deutch Tax Center is in the top 2% of the fastest-growing franchises out of over 3,000 franchise concepts in the country, and was recently ranked fourth overall on the 2010 Franchise Times "Fast 55" list for its high average unit growth.

Every 24 hours in the United States, 10,000 people turn 60 years old. 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.

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.

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!

Franchise Interviews Podcast - Great Quotes in Franchising

FRANCHISING 2010 AND BEYOND

In this economy, franchising will continue to grow, and there are other interesting things going on in franchising in 2010 which don't involve the latest craze, gimmick or silly launch.

One trend is social media and marketing. 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.

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.

Other sectors that should continue to grow in 2010 include:

• Children's education franchises and parent outsourcing is still expanding
• Green continues to grow
• Home-based franchises are popular due to convenience and low investment
• Food sectors with new concepts are constantly popping up
• Discount retail and resale shops are increasing since consumer spending is down
• Local businesses that support locally grown produce
• Alcohol that is affordable
• Pet spending is up according to the American Pet Products Association

6 Things to Know Before Starting a Franchise

6 Things to Know Before Starting a Franchise
By Jim Sebastiano, MatchPoint Consultant

1) You will be flying solo. After training you are on your own.

2) Have a cash stash (because of the credit crunch).

3) Money will be tight. Make sure to have money put away for living expenses that will last six months to a year.

4) Don't get suckered. Review the franchise disclosure document. Ask a lot of questions and don't get sold on anything. Also, watch out for resales that are too good to be true.

5) Do your research. If you follow the program you should have a 90% success rate. Follow the program and choose a good location. Also, talk to other franchise owners before buying. Lastly, have a franchise lawyer review liability disclaimer clauses.

6) Be forewarned. As the franchisors start to hurt, it is possible they will go into the red.

East Coast Wings and Grill March 3 on Franchise Interviews

Sam Ballas, CEO of East Coast Wings and Grill Meets with Franchise Interviews, Wednesday, March 3 at 10AM EST on BlogTalkRadio.com.

Sam will be talking with Marty and Don about why East Coast Wings & Grill has enjoyed 24 consecutive quarters of positive same-store sales increases despite other restaurants seeing consecutive losses.

Committed to family, and far different from the norm in the chicken wing segment Ballas and Kontos took over in 2000, after they noticed that the vast majority of wing concepts focused on pushing alcohol sales to make money. By creating a warm and inviting decor and focusing on families, customers started flocking to the restaurants.

Another reason for their success is the diverse menu offerings. The East Coast Wings & Grill menu offers an array of high quality food including wraps, salads, overstuffed sandwiches, burgers and more. While the wings will always be the staple and have won every major chicken wing award in North Carolina, East Coast Wings & Grill differentiates itself from other wing concepts by providing high quality food other than wings. The menu offerings consist of more than 90 percent fresh, never frozen food.

ABOUT EAST COAST WINGS
East Coast Wings & Grill, a fast growing casual dining chicken wing franchise, has 12 locations in North Carolina and many more are expected to open in 2010. The franchise concept not only caters to the chicken wing lover, which hit previously unseen levels of popularity in 2009 including the sale of more than 13 billion whole chicken wings, by offering 75 different flavors of chicken wings, but also wraps, sandwiches, burgers and more, all using fresh - not frozen - ingredients.

Guerrilla Marketing for the Franchisee

Guerrilla Marketing for the Franchisee met with Franchise Interviews on February 11, 2010 on BlogTalkRadio.com.

The Book: Guerrilla Marketing for the Franchisee. Many franchisees enter into a franchise business and think owning their own business will be much easier than it really is. Consequently, they often become discouraged from not experiencing the success they thought they signed up for. Other franchisees don't understand marketing and what it actually takes to grow their business. There is a false sense of security thinking that the sales will automatically come because they signed up for a "turn key" system. At the end of the day the success of each franchise business comes down to the operating franchisee.

This book teaches business owners how to own their own success and failures, what marketing is and what it takes to compete in today's tough business environment. Guerrilla Marketing defines marketing as "every bit of contact you or anyone in your company has with any part of the public." With over 14 million books sold worldwide, Guerrilla Marketing is one of the best known marketing brands in history - because it works. We had the pleasure of meeting with Todd Woods, CEO of Guerrilla Marketing Strategies, Inc., and Eddie Leonard, Chief Operating Guerrilla.

Kiplinger Article on Franchises

Franchises Getting Upper Hand Over Independents

Kiplinger, Jan. 2010 by Jonathan N. Crawford

Franchises are making gain on independents, especially restaurants. By 2012, franchise eateries including fast foods, family sit-down places will outnumber all others. From 2000 to 2008, the number of franchise restaurants grew by 20%, while non-franchises fell by 4% (according to NPD Group marketing research company). Deflated customer spending and crimped credit cards could even accelerate this trend.

“Franchises have been far from insulated from the recession, but overall they have performed better,” says Jonathan Maze, editor at Franchise Times trade magazine.

On the whole, franchises will outgrow their non-franchise rivals this year. They are typically better positioned than a mom and pop shop and they benefit from brand presence, corporate marketing an advice from the franchisor.

Moreover, lenders may be less tightfisted with franchise owners than non-franchise owners, according to Darrell Johnson, president and CEO of FRANdata, and independent research firm. In fact 60 new franchise brands were added last quarter 2009.

The overall economic output for franchises is expected to rise 2.8% this year. The biggest gains will be in personal services, quick service restaurants and business services, according to Pricewaterhouse Coopers.

Unishippers on Franchise Interviews Wed. Feb. 3 at 10AM EST
