Price Freeze On Canadian Franchise Opportunity Expected to Draw New Team Members
Freddy Marks has moved from the role of consultant with Outdoor Connection to holder of the Master Franchise Rights for Canada. He and his family are currently en route to Williams Lake in the Interior of BC, where he will have easy access to outdoor travel destinations.
Gibsons, B.C. Canada (PRWEB) February 21, 2007 -- Canadians looking for a franchise opportunity have until March 15, 2007 to buy an Outdoor Connection franchise at a drastically reduced price.
Freddy Marks, who has been working as a consultant for Outdoor Connection for three years has taken over the master franchise rights for Canada. To mark the occasion of his appointment, he is freezing the cost of a Canadian franchise. The freeze drops the price by almost 50%. "I want to offer Canadians a huge incentive to join the Outdoor Connection team and I want to build up the team at the same time. The new franchisee wins, and of course Outdoor Connection wins, too," says Marks.
People choose to buy franchises because they can start a new business with name recognition and the support of a proven system.
The Outdoor Connection franchise opportunity in particular appeals to sportsmen and other outdoor enthusiasts who want to work with their passion for the outdoors. Outdoor Connection lists over 300 lodges in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Africa. All lodges must pass the inspection of Outdoor Connection franchisees. This quality control ensures the client that each trip will be as advertised.
Quality of product is only one factor to check when investigating a franchise opportunity. Other issues to consider are brand name recognition, the age for the parent company, training, support, and cost (both start-up and recurring).
Marks points out that Outdoor Connection scores high points on each factor. He is counting on the superior positioning of Outdoor Connection in the outdoor travel industry to attract new franchisees.
Outdoor Connection is both the largest and the oldest outdoor travel agency in the world. The number of listings ensures that the franchisees have a great deal of choice to offer clients. With almost 17 years in the franchise business, Outdoor Connection inspire confidence in those who join the team.
New franchisees receive training and support in a group setting where they can network with like-minded people. In addition, Outdoor Connection presents updates at regular conferences, each at an Outdoor Connection travel destination.
Outdoor Connection offers all the support needed to run a successful business, including a Web presence for each franchisee.
Apart from Internet access, there is no equipment cost to running an Outdoor Connection franchise. In fact, it's possible to take this business on the road. It's completely portable.
With the baby boomer bulge pushing on the retirement market, agents can expect a significant increase in outdoor travel. Lifelong dreams of travel and adventure call to a new group of retirees who are used to getting what they want. They want to live their dreams.
Although the franchise opportunity offered by Outdoor Connection suits people of all ages, Marks anticipates welcoming the soon-to-be-retired baby boomers to the team. The job is not physically demanding and each franchisee sets his or her own hours.
Yes, women do take advantage of the Outdoor Connection franchise, too. Both Marks' wife and daughter work with him in his new role.
Marks cannot say how many franchisees he expects to add to the team. "There is certainly room in the Canadian market," he says. "A franchise, even at a massive discount, is a serious financial commitment. I'm encouraging interested people to contact me as soon as possible so I can answer the questions they should be asking."
