First Quarter Emphasized Franchise Growth and
Innovation
OMAHA,
Neb., April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Blingle!,
the premier outdoor lighting franchise, opened the first quarter of
2024 in a shining way, featuring positive momentum forward to keep
franchisees poised for success.
Its highlight to open the year was a shift in its franchise
model, aimed to help franchisees manage their cashflow in a much
more predictable manner. After hearing insight from franchisees on
the support and options they wanted, Blingle! began a flat rate
model. In this new model, royalties switched from a percentage of
revenue to a flat monthly rate. Additionally, most of the
franchisee services are now optional, ultimately saving the
franchisee money if they wish to not use select services.
"As part of our efforts to continually improving our franchise
model, we gathered feedback from all of our franchisees to see what
they were looking for from us," said Josh
Skolnick, Founder of HorsePower Brands. "Our goal is to
serve our communities, which includes the franchisees, with ease
and provide them with a service they can be proud of using."
To pair with this new model, Nels
Peterson was promoted to Vice President and Brand Leader. Peterson, an experienced lighting
expert with over three decades in the industry, will serve as a
day-to-day resource for the franchisees, while also over seeing all
field operations. His goal in the first year of the new role is to
open 24 new locations this year in tandem with launching Blingle!'s
new university and training that it receives from product
vendors.
"Blingle! is continuing to grow in the lighting space as the
outdoor lighting trend gains steam," said Peterson. "In my
position, I am able to support the franchisees with my expertise so
they can install projects that achieve the vision of each
client."
In addition, the brand opened 3 new locations and signed 2 new
franchise agreements to start the year. The new locations that
opened in the first quarter include Naples, Fla., Miami,
Fla., and Richmond, Va.
Blingle! signed franchise development agreements to bring the
brand's premier lighting to Port
Charlotte, Fla., and Kansas
City, Miss., in the second quarter of this year.
