 From the same highly
successful ORCA Websites team, the
ORCA Local franchise enables you to start and run your own internet
business helping
local businesses promote themselves to local
people. | | 
Dean Watmough, Managing
Director |
Everyone has a close affinity with
their local town and their local community, but if local people do
not spend with local businesses, that means less revenue is
injected in to the local economy. The vast majority of local
businesses survive and thrive on referrals, word of mouth and
advertising campaigns within their local area. When times get hard,
as they currently are, the first thing they do is abandon their
advertising spend (particularly in the local papers)
inorder to cut
costs.
Your role as an ORCA Local franchisee is to work with local
business owners to arrange exclusive offers that they are
willing to make available only to ORCA Local website members and
ORCA Local Key Card holders.
As more people visit your ORCA Local website and register as
subscribers, or register their ORCA Local Key Cards, they opt-in to
receive regular emails from you about the latest offers your
clients are advertising on your ORCA Local
site.
 
The Key Card is simply a plastic
card that attaches to a key ring.
Key Card holders are then able to
claim the exclusive offers that your clients (local businesses) are
promoting on your ORCA Local site and to make life even easier,
your clients display the ORCA Local Key Card window sticker to
ensure that Key Card holders know which businesses are
participating.
Magnus De Woul, Business
Development Director |
People still spend in recessions,
they just become more bargain conscious and more prudent about what
they buy. And
where is the best place to find bargains? The
internet!
Although the majority
oflocal
business owners are aware of the internet
and even use it in their personal lives, they simply haven’t
incorporated it in to their business lives. Dramatic as it sounds,
the internet is the future of business and those not using it
effectively are fighting a losing battle. | 
John
Walker, The Federation ofSmall Businesses |
The timing for this venture is absolutely perfect. Small
businesses need customers now and ORCA Local gives them the
opportunity to reach local people
fast.
| 
Your two-day residential
training programme has been designed to give you a thorough insight
in to the principles behind the ORCA Local internet business model
and it is an extremely rewarding and enjoyable experience.
On completion of your training, you will
literally be up and running and earning
money! However, we take your continued development extremely
seriously and you will therefore be supported on an ongoing basis
by one of the finest franchisee support teams in the
industry.
|
Your earnings potential is
substantial, with your first year’s turnover expected to be
between £25,000 to £40,000.
With the very limited overheads you will carry, the majority of
this is profit! The original ORCA Local Skipton pilot site
www.orcalocalskipton.co.uk) was generating over £1000 per week
within just 7 weeks!
What’s more, business owners were calling us to see how they
could get on board! | |  StuartHarling, ORCA Local
