Mobile Phone Franchise  -  Fonehouse

The industry and technology within it is constantly evolving making it extremely attractive and exciting. A mobile phone is no longer a just a means of communication allowing you to make contact with people via the mobile telephone network. Mobile phones are now lifestyle essentials, merging many of modern life's gadgets (Sat Nav, MP3 players etc) into one device to improve the lives of their users. Due to this, mobile retailers are not restricted to just selling phones; moreover they have been presented with a vast range of mobile devices including laptops, mobile broadband, and other such items to deliver a full service to their customers.

The pace of mobile phone adoption is accelerating exponentially. It took 10 years to reach the first major milestone of 1 billion mobile units sold but only 3 years to sell the next billion then only one more year to sell another billion handsets. Such rapid growth represents an unmissable opportunity for any entrepreneur and one that Fonehouse have the ability, tools and experience to deliver.

A key milestone for Fonehouse was the launch of the Partner Programme in 2008. After many years of owning their stores Fonehouse changed their business to a franchise model. In a dynamic market where customer service is a key differentiator, this change in business practice allowed Fonehouse to increase service quality by inducting experienced business owners into the Partner Programme. The majority of Fonehouse's competitors own and operate their own stores, employing individuals who are not fully committed to the business for any real degree of time, experiencing high labour turnover as a result. Fonehouse stores are owned, operated and managed by business owners who are in for the long term and can really emulate the strapline of 'your local mobile specialist' by providing a familiar face and exquisite customer service to customers.

Although the business will be owned and managed by you, as a Fonehouse Partner you will be part of a larger brand widely  recognised in the mobile industry. As part of this your store will have the Fonehouse signage above the door and the shop follow the same format as other Fonehouse outlets inducing customer recognition through Fonehouse brand awareness activity.

Increased Purchasing Power

By being part of a larger organisation we are able to pool together the combined purchasing power of all of our Partners. This leads to increased order quantities and better economies of scale as a result. Ultimately this allows us to create more compelling/profitable offers as the product cost is lower meaning increased profit margins.

Upfront Commission Payments

At Fonehous e we believe in making you wait for your commission payments. Therefore we have implemented a bi-weekly commission payment system to facilitate increased cash flow for you to manage your business efficiently.

Head Office Support

Fonehouse Head Office is the central hub and driving force behind the Partner Programme. Here there are many resources including Account Management, Marketing and Accounts which are all available to support you in the operation of your store

What you earn as a Franchise Partner of Fonehouse is up to you. It depends how hard you work and how gifted you are. It's no different from anything else. But you'll be surprised at how the numbers can stack up. We would expect franchisees to earn between £50,000 and £150,000 per annum subject to normal business variables.

These figures are projections. They illustrate potential earnings but they are not intended to be a statement, representation, warranty or guarantee of individual franchisee earnings. As with any purchase, before you enter into a franchise it makes sense to satisfy yourself about the investment.
