Learn why the time is right and how you can come out on top with your own custom closet franchise with Closets by Design.

This is Your Time to Shine

While 2020 has been a challenge for many businesses, it has actually worked to our advantage. This is an opportunity for you to establish a foothold in the industry.

Many companies have been forced to cut back on spending for advertising and marketing. This helps to lower the cost of advertising rates while also leaving a vacuum in the market that you can fill!

These developments make right now an advantageous time for entrepreneurs in general, but there are all also plenty of reasons specific to the home improvement industry that make a custom closets franchise a particularly smart idea.

The Housing Market is Doing Surprisingly Well

One thing that has surprised many people during the economic downturn of 2020 has been the resilience of the housing market. This has been a time of economic upheaval and seismic shifts in employment rates. As such, it would stand to reason that the housing market would slow down as well. It turns out nothing could be further from the truth.

The housing market is actually booming, and with a hot housing market comes more people wanting to improve the value of their homes. They may be wanting to boost their home value or upgrade a home they’ve recently purchased.

Home Improvement and Remodeling is Booming

It’s more than the booming housing market that makes the custom closet industry so attractive. The market has also seen a surprising uptick in the home improvement and remodeling market. In a way, it makes sense.

People have been spending so much time in their homes that they want them to be as nice as possible or have noticed room for improvements they never thought of before. One of the first ways people upgrade their homes is with their closets.

With nowhere to go and nothing to do, many people are finally getting around to those home improvement projects they’ve been meaning to get around to. That means finally upgrading their closet! For some homeowners, this may mean expanding their existing closet. For others, it may mean converting another part of their home into functional storage space. As a professional Closets by Design designer, you can help point them in the right direction.

Rely on Yourself and Take Charge of Your Destiny

In uncertain times, the only person you can truly rely on yourself. This is just as true for your career as it is for your personal life. Entrepreneurship is your opportunity to take the reins of your career and be the one in charge of your own success.

Don’t let the market or a pandemic dictate your destiny. Instead, take life by the horns with your own business. With a proven system that has been tested by more than 35 years in business and robust franchise support, a Closets by Design franchise can help you lay the foundation for your future.

For many people, after so many years of working in the same field, they may think that their career 2.0 needs to be in the same industry as their previous job. It turns out that this isn’t the case at all! This is especially true when it comes to franchising. It turns out that there are skills franchisors value much more than being handy with a power drill.

Here’s what you need to know about the skills necessary to have a successful career as a Closets by Design franchisee. You don’t even need to know a hammer from a hacksaw!

What We Look for in the Ideal Owner

One of the most common questions we hear from potential franchisees is if they need prior carpentry or woodworking experience before starting their own custom closets franchise. The answer is “no.”  As a matter of fact, some of our most successful franchise owners come from backgrounds in banking, finance, government, and healthcare fields.  Most of our owners came with no manufacturing experience at all.

What’s most important in a franchise owner is leadership and understanding how to develop people. Having prior experience in the fields of sales and marketing can be a plus for potential owners, but they aren’t a necessity.

It takes a strong leader to run a business, and that’s exactly what franchisors are looking for when vetting candidates. If you’re a born leader with the right people skills, it doesn’t matter which industry you come from. Even more important is having a great attitude. They say that skills are something you can learn, while the right attitude can’t be taught.

Expect Extensive Training and Support

When you choose to invest in a franchise, you don’t have to go through your journey to business ownership alone. Another benefit of partnering with the right franchise is the level of training and support you can expect to receive.

Franchisors want and need their franchisees to succeed. To ensure this success, there are robust training programs available to support franchisees in all areas of their business. These cover everything a potential franchisee needs to know to get their business up and running.

Thanks to a comprehensive training program covering sales, marketing, operations, manufacturing, and installation, you can be sure that you’ll learn everything you need to know to operate your Closets by Design franchise with confidence.

Know How to Appreciate a Good Business Plan

When you choose to invest in a franchise model, you are deciding to partner with an established brand and business model that has stood the test of time. If you aren’t planning to follow the established model, then why would you invest in a franchise?

The right franchisee should enjoy following an established system and know how to stick to the plan. After all, these plans are designed to provide the best opportunity for success for customers, the franchisor, and the franchisee.

Much of the appeal that comes with investing in a franchise is the privilege of hitching your wagon to an already established brand. With the right brand, franchisees can take advantage of decades of brand identity and loyal customers to lay the foundation for their franchise.
