Don’t Get A Real Estate Franchise You certainly don’t need to be part of a real estate franchise group Take the recent departure from Harcourts of the ‘$500 mill” goliath Harcourts Coastal Owner Dane Atherton decided to become an independent agency under the Coastal name. There are other big independents out there as well to keep Dane company. Toop & Toop backed by a 2500 rent roll operates one of SA’s most successful real estate businesses. NSW and Vic also have great independents with some branching out into franchising with their own brand. Jellis Craig, Noel Jones & Di Jones spring to mind. The common traits these independents have, including Coastal (who spent 13 years under the Harcourts logo), include: * generally big offices in terms of staff numbers * operate their own marketing department within the business with experts in digital marketing and traditional marketing on board. A lot of these staff members are degree qualified at least, some holding MBA’s With high qualified staff comes high wages. There are no short cuts here * have grown a business into a profitable success story. They are already in possession of a ‘can do’ attitude * they are good networkers. They’ve got a bunch of ‘trusted advisors ‘ around them; all of which share information between each other. Franchises make it easier to network because everyone is wearing the same badge at events and conferences * in house IT support. Franchises have that as part of their fees but you can outsource this service * an seo friendly website. There are plenty of suppliers who can provide state of the art website for $20,000+ SEO services would be an additional charge Back at the beginning I mentioned you don’t need a franchise to brand your real estate business From the list above, you can definitely operate as an independent successfully BUT If you don’t have marketing, IT or SEO expertise with in your office or have the $$$$ to bring them into your team, a FRANCHISE would be a better option you you #franchise #indepentent #whoisgregreed

Some useful tips from Nigel Toplis for making your franchise work. "All successful businesses are built on hard work, drive, energy, ambition and persistence, and franchised businesses are no different. However, if you want to be consistently successful and build a robust business that will stand the test of time then you need more. If you are fortunate enough to have the huge advantage of being in a franchise then take advantage of the systems, processes, proven best practice and networking opportunities that are available. To not do so would be negligent and frankly stupid! I have 8 tips to making your franchise work – and each is a challenge for you."  #franchise #franchising #franchises #franchiseopportunities #franchiseopportunity #franchisebusiness #franchiserecruitment #franchiseadvice #franchiseinformation #runningafranchise https://lnkd.in/exNDS2tf

The British Franchise Association looks at WHY ARE SOME FRANCHISES BOOMING DESPITE THE ECONOMIC CRISIS?. It is a well-documented fact that historically, franchise operations do well during tough economic times; franchisees follow tried and tested business models with full head office support, so whilst many businesses sink without trace, franchises often manage to keep their heads above water during even the choppiest of economic seas.

Great article from Franchise Business Review, who has really been pushing out some excellent studies as of late! In this instance, the team explores "What the Top Ranked Franchises do That Other's Don't". For brands of all sizes, this is a gold mine of information. The two biggest themes that stick out to me are clarity and community. Mainly, how are you being transparent with your franchisees and prospects? Have you set a framework of interaction/communication within your franchise network that provides a benefit to your franchisees and you, the franchisor? I encourage you all to look inward and evaluate how you embrace these ideas within your brand and whether any improvements need to be made. #franchising #culture #operations #bestofthebest https://lnkd.in/eiAaJzJN

What is Franchise Social Media? The following is an updated article that was originally posted on several sites online including Franchising.com and in-part right here in this blog. As social media continues to be a significant component of a franchise brand’s digital footprint and an essential element in direct or complementary franchise development efforts, I thought it prudent to update and re-post accordingly. https://lnkd.in/dERfZ6gF #franchise #socialmedia
