Why Gotcha Covered?
Look around and you will see windows everywhere. Every home and every business has windows that need to be covered. This $20 billion industry is largely unbranded. Here’s some of the reasons we think it’s the best opportunity you’ve never heard of:
- Fragmented industry – the largest retailer has 3% market share, and the rest is mostly small, independent dealers that lack buying power, marketing sophistication or technology
- Simple business requires no design experience
- Lifestyle business, 9 to 5 with flexibility for work/life balance
- Regardless of the economy, windows always need to be covered
- Low startup cost – high income potential
- Cash flow friendly with no inventory or aging receivables (customers pay before ordering)
- High Gross Margins on Sales Contracts (Over 50%)
- High Sales Contracts Average Amounts ($4,000+)
- High Appointment Closing Ratios (Over 50%)
- High Customer Referral Rate
- Large Marketing Territories
- Flat-fee Royalty with low initial investment
Ideal Candidate
Our franchisees’ backgrounds are diverse, ranging from stay-at-home moms to CEOs. Very few have design experience, and we’ve found that it has no bearing on success. Here is what does make a good franchisee:
- High-energy, friendly personality
- Hard-working and self-motivated
- Desire to work with people
- Sales and marketing experience is a bonus
