Hey, it's us. Team TFC. For those of you who don't know us, we're your friendly Franchise Consultants, at The Franchising Company. (TFC). 

You doing okay? 

So listen, we are starting a monthly newsletter called: The Fran Beat. This is our first edition. Welcome to the show!  👋

Each month we are going to be dropping some killer insights about the franchise world. Profiling companies we think are interesting. We'll even throw in some bonus material.

But here's the thing¦

We're not here to chase you. There is absolutely no pressure to purchase a Franchise.  We are simply here to bring value to you. 

Maybe you'll find something compelling. Maybe you'll forward this to a friend who likes what they are reading. Maybe nothing happens at all, except a good laugh at one of our quirky jokes.   

Regardless, we're hoping you'll read (or heck, even just skim) and discover something you may have never considered. So, if you are interested or ever want more information - you know where to find us.     

In the meantime, we will continue to send you this awesome newsletter just to stay front of mind. Okay...on with the good stuff! 

Is It Boom Time Again...Already?

Quick history lesson. First there was World War 1. Then came the Spanish Flu. 

And consequently, the decade long party we now call The Roaring 20s. The country went wild in just about every way.  💃

Well, guess what? 

There are many predictions the same thing is about to happen again. If it does...will you be ready to take advantage?

REALITY:  History DOES repeat itself. And right now there are a lot of signals that indicate: 

1️⃣   There is light at the end of the tunnel as far as the pandemic. 

2️⃣   There WILL be a lot of opportunity! 

Why are we saying this? Well consider the following:  

 âœ…   The stock market is up...way up. 

 âœ…   The US is now averaging 3 million vaccinations per day. 

 âœ…   Job reports indicate hiring is occurring, unemployment is down to around 6.2%.

 âœ…   And the government took out it's wallet and peeled out $1.9 trillion off the brick!  

💰 💰 💰

Whoa! This has all the makings of a boom period about to land. Are you going to get in??

Franchise Opportunity #1 that we like: Send Me A Trainer

We think Send Me A Trainer is a game changer in the workout world. 

Here's the skinny (Ha! See what we did there?). Working out and staying in shape has never been more important. Show of hands -- how many of us have put on a few extra pounds during the pandemic?  💋  😁

We all want to shed those pounds. But not a lot of us are itching to get back to the health club and deal with...well...all the things associated with a health club. (Did that dude really just sneeze without his mask on?!?)

The landscape has shifted. 

Big box clubs that once dominated this industry don't have the same pull they once had. Today, experts are estimating the home fitness industry has increased by...wait for it...about $10 billion due to the pandemic.And guess where all that came from? From the big box workout clubs. 

Like so many things, working out from home has been growing for years. Research shows it will likely continue long after the pandemic.

Enter Send Me A Trainer.

This company has created a state of the art app that allows customers to customize the workout they want, when they want it, with the trainer they want. The best part...the entire workout happens in the privacy and security of the customer's home! 

This is a killer model. Because Send Me A Trainer isn't just in the fitness game -- they're also in the time savings game. Those companies that provide great service AND can save you time = win. Uber. Amazon. Netflix. Do we need to go on?

THAT is what SMAT does.

So how does it work? 

You download the app. Next, decide on the type of training based on your individual goals. (Yoga / strength / agility / golf / swimming / etc)...

Then you're given a list of trainers in the area, as well as their bios.

Finally with a click of a button - you are able to schedule the session and make payment in a secure environment.

Simple. Quick. Easy. 

This brand is on 🔭¥! In fact, they were recently on the cover of Entrepreneur Magazine. This exposure is fueling a TON of interest in the company.  Making NOW a great time to learn more. 

Franchise Opportunity #2 that we like: CleanEatz

I think we can all agree that how and what we eat are changing and changing fast. 

A recent study completed by Archers Daniel Midland turned up some great insights:

🍎   Consumers are more interested in the connection between gut health and immunity. 

🍎   There's more focus on metabolic health's impact on weight management.

🍎   They are eating to improve mental health.

🍎   Consumers want personalized nutrition.

🍎   They're planning to spend more money on health and wellness related items.

🍎   They want it conveniently. Ready to go. 

Things are changing so much that Whole Foods just announced a new partnership with the wellness app Headspace. They want to help people 🈁focus on mindful shopping, cooking and eating.

This is a long way from when we were kids and seeing how many hot dogs we could cram in our mouths.

Face it, as a society, we are becoming more and more aware of what we put in our bodies. 

So if you believe this trend will continue, more importantly, if you believe there's money to be made from this trend...then let us introduce you to CleanEatz. 

This is unlike any other food brand that we've come across. Let us explain. 

The Clean Eatz model provides two distinct offerings unmatched currently in the QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) sector. First, it's commissary/cafeteria style allowing guests to come in and select the food of their choice. The menu is varied with plenty of tasty options.  

The second is via a customized meal plan allowing guests to come in and grab and go pre-packaged meals based on their need to lose, maintain or gain weight. 

No other restaurant (to our knowledge) is providing both types of options and no other category is providing a menu organized around weight goals. 

And that is what makes CleanEatz a real stand out in the category with plenty of potential. 

If you're interested in learning more, click below and let's dive in!  

What's Coming Up?

Next month we switch the focus to cleaning. You know Marie Kondo, right? Well, she has sparked a major trend on cleaning and decluttering. So, while we are still in Spring Cleaning mode, our next edition will spotlight The Cleaning Authority.

There are a lot of services out there but this one stands apart. It has been around since 1989 and has nearly 220 units open. Want to know more? Stay tuned for next month!  (Or, just reply back and let us know.  We'll hook you up!).

What Else? 

We love feedback! All kinds. (We promise, we can take it).

So let us know what topics we can cover to make this newsletter be all it can be. Just reply back, lay it on us.  

Also, if you know anyone that might find value in our newsletter, please forward! We don't have any cool swag to offer, but we definitely pay for closed referrals. 

That's it for this month. If you made it this far -- you're a rockstar, and would probably be a killer Franchisee. (hint hint¦)

See you next month. Until then¦Go get yours.
