Open your own advertising business by starting a LumiAds franchise in your area
LumiAds is a pay per sales prospect system of advertising. In other words, the advertiser is charged for each potential customer introduced.
We use a combination of LED screens, posters and direct mailing in towns to inform consumers about the advertiser's products and promotions. Consumers SMS the phone number on promotional material with their choice of advertiser. LumiAds automatically sends back a discount coupon for the particular advertiser's promotion. The advertiser is charged for each coupon sent out per month.
More information about how LumiAds works can be found on the Advertise with us page.
The effectiveness and uniqueness of the LumiAds SMS promotion is driven by targeting consumers within a limited geographical radius to the advertiser's retail outlets.
Each location is controlled by a local franchisee who manages the relationship with the advertiser, administers promotional mailing and updates promotional material. The franchisee can work flexible hours and has a free hand in running their local franchise.
Why should you join up as a LumiAds franchisee ? Research has shown that 80% of all start-up businesses fail within the first 5 years. However, 75% of all franchises succeed within the same period.
Why is this ? When a new venture is set up there is always a steep learning curve to understand the fundamental factors governing the business. As a franchisee, you have access to all the knowledge necessary to replicate the LumiAds business model at your fingertips leaving you to concentrate on successfully managing the business.
