Countrywide Signs franchisees told to prepare for surge in workload…

Following last month’s big announcement that the Countrywide Signs franchise has been chosen as the approved supplier of property signage to Purple Bricks, the UK’s largest online estate and letting agent, we’ve seen a surge in interest around the UK. So, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has already reached out.

All the current Countrywide Signs franchisees are geared up and ready to go when the new contracts go live on 1st April, and are getting ready for some seriously busy times ahead. They can expect a big increase in the number of jobs booked, and an even stronger profit margin thanks to the supply chains and extra revenue streams which will come with the new partnership.

This is a major development for everyone involved in this already very well-know and highly trusted brand, and word is spreading fast. The head office team have even heard from a few other national brands who are interested in regional arrangements.

What could all this mean for you?

Well, the important thing, of course, is that this franchise opportunity can now offer you more than ever before, especially in terms of winning business right from the very start, and enjoying an even better return on your investment.

However, you’re not the only one it’s going to appeal to. I’m am already receiving more calls about the Countrywide Signs franchise, and expect there to be a big rise in the number of new franchisees taking advantage of this news in the next few months. Each one of those means one less territory available… There are still some premium areas up for grabs, such as Hampshire, Cumbria, and Lincolnshire, but these won’t last long!

So, this could be the perfect time for you to pick up where you left off when it comes to researching this opportunity, and that all starts with a chat with me – just click this link to schedule a call.

In the meantime, keep an eye out for my next email where I will be going into more detail about how the Countrywide Signs franchise is using innovative technology to help their franchisees managing jobs, plan efficient routes, save time on admin tasks, and even market themselves to existing and future customers.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
