Julie's: 5 Marketing Points for Franchise

Franchising is the most dynamic business model in the world and it has been going on since the early 80’s and 90’s. In many ways, being part of a franchise system offers immense advantages such as instant brand recognition, among others.

 

Mature entrepreneurs looking for a business opportunity understand this concept. In a way, they are best described as “Franchise Hunters,” realizing that no business is simple and that successful franchises are bound by corporate structure and operational safeguards.

 

Here are four specific strengths of Julies Bakeshop that make it an ideal franchise business.

 

 

 

Why Julie’s Bakeshop

In the market for a brand that sells? Join the country’s number one bakeshop – Julie’s Bakeshop!

Julie’s Bakeshop’s (JBS) leadership in the neighbourhood bakeshop category is unquestionable. The many innovations and best-practices JBS introduced when it started in 1981 are now considered industry standard and are imitated by other bakeshops. And while the rest are still catching up, JBS continues to bring more innovation and expansion models. Now, JBS is not only considering expansion in the Philippines but outside of it as well.

 

Ultimately, the foundation for the extreme popularity of JBS is the high quality of its bread products. Years of experience have translated into making a proprietary JBS blend.

2) Franchise hunters want efficient financial and operational control systems.

 

Full Support

Until recently, franchising used to be thought of as a principle reserved for multi-billion dollar foreign food chains. Small and medium scale entrepreneurs have quickly followed suit and in turn created a world of opportunity accounting for 15 percent of total retail revenues in 2010.

 

In principle, it is simply “the practice of using another firm’s successful business model” So what small and medium entrepreneurs lacked in competence and operational expertise, franchisors offered and together, these partnerships flourished.

 

Profitable franchises are those with highly efficient financial and operational systems. Systems already tried, tested, and put in place to protect a franchisee’s investment. Created and supported by trained and experienced professionals who have mastered their fields.

 

Julies’s Bakeshop is manned by a team of professionals who provide support in Marketing, Operations, Construction, Accounting, Franchise Development and Human Resource Development. It’s Research and Development Department runs a fully operational laboratory to continuously improve on over 200 varieties of bread and other bakery products. It has three fully-staffed Franchise Support offices – the Head office in Cebu, and full-management offices in Davao and Metro Manila. Each office more than adequately staffed to meet the needs of the growing number of JBS Franchisees.

 

3) Franchise hunters want wide marketing support scope and community exposure

 

Always Number One

To maintain market leadership and spur sales growth, Julie’s Bakeshop employs a wide range of Marketing and Advertising Support systems. Working with experienced Marketing Communications groups, JBS has well-placed and effective material in tri-media as well as a comprehensive Public Relations program. All planned for JBS to remain on top-of-mind of its customers.

 

Julie’s Bakeshop has also taken to heart its commitment of giving back to the community thru numerous Corporate Social Responsibility projects throughout the whole year. Among them are feeding programs, supporting medical missions and educational programs and scholarships because beyond the business is a heart that cares.

 

4) Franchise hunters look for efficient supply systems. – quick availability of supplies from highly reputable sources at fair market prices

 

Strong Partners

To ensure product quality and profitability, Julie’s Bakeshop partners with many of the Philippines’ food groups to guarantee quick availability of supplies from highly reputable sources at fair market prices.

 

All Julie’s Bakeshops carry more than just bread and bakery products. Always ahead to ensure that customers get a little more than expected, Julie’s has partnered with Coke, Selecta, Nature’s Spring and very recently Purefoods. This partnership with industry leaders has catapulted Julie’s into new heights.
