There are lots of kids based franchise’s on the market now. They range from Yoga clubs to dance academy’s to nutrition advice but does running a business aimed at the under 12’s really make you a profit and how is this type of business effected by the credit crunch?
A popular and increasing market is that of children’s entertainment. Traditionally dominated by solo performers working in a local area, some companies are now offering anyone the chance to re-train as an entertainer under the guidance of their knowledge and under a known and trusted brand, something that is paramount to parents.
Running your own kid’s entertainment franchise is definitely not for the faint hearted, you need to be able to deal with stressed out parents and demanding children but it can be an incredibly fun and rewarding job too. You generally get to train in a whole range of activities such as balloon modelling, face painting, puppetry and magic something which doesn’t happen in a 9-5!
Great for those who want a job that is fun, fast paced and different from the rest whilst learning form those in the know. This should also always include behaviour management techniques plus support with marketing and promotions so look out for this when makingenquiries
One company currently offering a good package is Whizz Bang Pop. They have a strong reputation in the kids entertainment field. They are currently recruiting in the West Midlands and the South of England. They offer 3 different types of parties meaning parents can return each year but try something new, it also means they can offer activities for older children who often get left out of the party market.
Whenever anyone is looking for a franchise the first question they usually ask is “How much is this going to cost me and how much profit am I going to make?”
Well here’s the answer, children’s birthdays occur 365 days of the year and parents ALWAYS want to make their child feel special on their birthday. Even when times are hard a child’s birthday is rarely dismissed or left out. don’t forget Eide, Xmas, easter & halloween also offer the oportunity to make bookings and a great profit!
Obviously all franchise fees vary and this sector is no different however as you can set up your office at home this does keep costs to a minimum. Again check out ” title=”link title”>Whizz Bang Pop, Whizz Bang Pop who are currently offering their package for just over £6,000 which is not bad considering you can be up and running in 6 weeks.
