Creative Colors International offers budding entrepreneurs an opportunity to open a thriving upholstery business with multiple revenue streams to ensure profitability.
If you want to open an upholstery business, but the red tape and risk associated with starting from scratch are making you drag your feet, franchising may be the key to taking charge of your future. Opting to open an upholstery franchise can help new entrepreneurs minimize risk and increase profits. Starting a business with support and training will give you a head start to success.
CCI is the leader in the repair, reconditioning, protection, and color restoration of leather, vinyl, fabric, plastic, and carpeting. A CCI upholstery franchise supports a wide variety of industries, including automotive, aviation, marine, furniture, commercial, and residential markets. CCI offers a proven business model with the experience new business owners need to determine startup costs, insurance, and equipment. The total initial investment for a CCI franchise is between $86,980 and $102,100. Here are a few of the benefits of owning a CCI franchise.
Solid Reputation. Jim and JoAnn Foster launched their first mobile leather and vinyl repair van in 1980. J&J Creative Colors currently operates 18 vans serving customers in the Chicago, Illinois, area. In 1991, increased customer demand and growth prompted the pair to begin helping other people achieve their dreams of business ownership by selling franchises. Franchising allows CCI to duplicate J&J’s success by providing ongoing support, training, and innovation. CCI has earned recognition as both a top 500 franchise and a top franchise for under $100,000 from Entrepreneur magazine.
Mobile Opportunity. CCI’s mobile vans come equipped with all the tools they need to provide stellar service to customers. The mobile vans allow franchisees to make their own schedules and achieve the work-life balance many hardworking Americans are missing. As an added bonus, back-office operations can be done from a home office to cut costs.
Cost Controls. Reducing expenses enables your business to profit and grow. CCI provides its franchisees with the technology and tools they need to offer competitive prices. All of our franchises attend in-depth training at our corporate office to learn the tools of the trade. A CCI field representative spends one week with each franchisee as they launch their business to provide support and advice. Ongoing training and the introduction of new products and concepts are provided through regional meetings, advanced technical seminars, annual conferences, and field visits. Our franchisees also have access to CCI’s Intranet and a toll-free technical support line for guidance.
Marketing Expertise. Having a robust marketing strategy is central to the success of your new business. In addition to your mobile van serving as a billboard to advertise your business, CCI franchise owners have access to various tools and sales aids to help facilitate growth. In addition to traditional marketing strategies like print flyers, postcards, and brochures, CCI offers franchisees the tools they need to maximize online advertising and website search engine optimization.
Demand for Upholstery Services Soars
The time is right to open an environmentally friendly upholstery franchise. As businesses in your local community grapple with labor shortages and supply chain issues, owners are pulling out all the stops to ensure they outpace competitors and attract talented staff. In addition to making sure they provide customers with stellar products and services, businesses are ramping up sales by offering customers and employees a welcoming and well-maintained facility. Local businesses are learning they can cut costs, increase employee satisfaction, and build their loyal customer base by hiring an upholstery business to repair leather and vinyl furniture. Taking time to freshen up their interiors by fixing rips, tears, scratches, and burns on furniture will help make their business shine and save up to 90 percent of replacement costs.
In addition to countless B2B opportunities, upholstery businesses can also capitalize on the booming home services industry. The home services market is slated to grow 35.81 percent to $1219.07 billion by 2026, according to Verified Market Research, a market research and consulting firm.
Spending more time on the home front this past year inspired people to tackle home repair projects they had let slide. At least 61 percent of homeowners completed a home improvement project following the outbreak of the pandemic, according to a survey of 1,400 homeowners conducted by Harris Poll. Less recreational spending enabled Americans to make major investments in their homes, such as interior remodeling to add space for home offices and installing swimming pools to create a vacation vibe. Smartphones are also helping fuel the industry’s growth by making it easier for Americans to compare prices and book appointments.
