Color Me Mine franchise information

According to Maria Baker, Executive Director of Franchise Development, "When you own a Color Me Mine franchise studio, you gain several important advantages over individuals who choose to go into business on their own. As a franchise owner, you are part of an established system of operations from the moment you open your studio. You receive two weeks of comprehensive training and have access to experts with years of business experience in the field so that you don't have to rely on your own trial and error. You become part of a team of savvy operators who meet annually to share experience and expertise, log onto a franchisee web site for marketing materials and ideas, and become part of an organization that has national name brand recognition."

Color Me Mine emphasizes the education and hands-on training of each of its franchise owners. Color Me Mine's Studio Operator Certification Program is scheduled several times a year. Classes typically begin on Monday of the first week at 9 a.m., continue through the weekend, and conclude on Thursday of the second week at 6 p.m. All owners or managers may attend with no limit to the number of people per studio. It is important that you devote full time during the training period so that you remain focused and attentive as we teach you design techniques, marketing programs, technical skills, management, problem solving and customer service. We encourage you to find lodging near the Home Office and to rent a car.

Color Me Mine's unique concept offers the franchise owner a business that requires low start-up capital, is fun to operate, is difficult to compete against, and that makes a worthwhile contribution to the community. Even after factoring in the 5% royalty and 1% national marketing fund contribution, Color Me Mine franchise owners enjoy a lower cost of goods sold and lower studio operating expenses than independent studio operators average.
