Success as a Timber/Stone Doctor comes in many forms. For some ambitious franchisees, this means purchasing multiple territories and having family, friends, employees or contractors come on to assist in their operations. Having multiple territories allows you to maximize your marketing efforts and grow your business quickly, across a larger area.
Owning and operating a multi-unit franchise model with The Timber/Stone Doctor is affordable. It’s actually not much more expensive than buying into a single territory. That’s because many of the start-up costs that go into starting a Timber/Stone Doctor franchise are covered in the initial territory investment, and do not apply (or are far smaller) when purchasing a second (or third) area.
A discount of 10% of the license fee is offered for 2 or more territories when purchased together.
Single unit Timber/Stone Doctor territories are designed based on population, with a minimum of 300,000 people per territory. Franchisees have the option of purchasing adjoining territories to become multi-unit franchisees. This strategy helps to maximize the power of marketing efforts and customer referrals, giving a larger geographical reach for franchisees, and also a greater population to service.
Word-of-mouth is essential in growing a service-based business. When customers experience Timber/Stone Doctor workmanship and service, they often share their experience with friends, family and co-workers. If those friends, family or colleagues live in an area which is owned by a different Timber/Stone Doctor, there is an obligation to refer the business on.
If you own the license however, the referrals stay with you. By owning multiple territories, you not only enjoy the yields from your marketing efforts in your primary territory, but you also gain leads and business from customers in the adjoining territories you own.
