Candy Bouquet FAQs
Candy Bouquet - The Proven Low Cost Franchise Opportunity
Initial investments depend on the size of the franchise owner's exclusive territory and leasehold improvements. Part of the investment also includes the franchise fee that is based on the franchise owner's protected territory.
No Royalty Fees!
We are one of the few franchises that do not charge a royalty. Early in the company's development, the franchisees helped set their own fees instead of royalties. Our company was developed on the concept that royalties are unfair.
The Franchise Fee and What You Get for Your Money
The inexpensive franchise fees are paid for the right to use the intellectual property and trademarks that have been established by the franchisor. As a result of time, skill, effort and money, we have developed a distinctive system relating to the establishment, operation, marketing, and promotion of the Candy Bouquet Franchise. Candy Bouquet's Operations Manual, alone, is over 700 pages packed full of tried and true methods to the operation. We also have hundreds of seasonal kits available for uniformity and wiring between our stores. These also save time and money.
Just a few of the benefits you receive as a franchisee are a confidential operations manual, protected territory, trademarked name and logo, business training, marketing training, Candy Bouquet design training, store layout and design recommendations, discounts from preferred vendors, rights to private labeled items unattainable elsewhere, and propriety.
Candy Bouquet has a Voluntary Advanced Certification Program, free to the franchisees. Upon the year completion, we give you a $250 certificate redeemable in our Distribution Center, an Advanced Training Certificate, and a Sterling Silver pin to be worn proudly certifying your completion of our Advanced Program. After completion of this program, franchisees are eligible for our Elite Certification Program. These franchisees are our top level stores, similar to a Crown Shop.
And with a franchise, you are buying a great reputation as well as a great opportunity. Remember most of the public will buy from a franchise instead of a single standing store.
The Association Fee and What You Get for Your Money
The association fee is a small, set amount like dues that are paid monthly. Royalty is a percentage of what you make. Candy Bouquet International, Inc. does not charge royalties. The association fee makes it possible to continually provide mail outs, new design updates, newsletters and continued support. Many other services are provided by Candy Bouquet International also.
