Welcomemat Services Opens Up Franchise Opportunity In Red Hot Local Marketing Sector

Cutting-edge franchise creates next revolution in local, technology-based marketing; Rolls out the ‘Welcome Mat’ for savvy entrepreneurs

Atlanta, Ga. – The next revolution in local marketing isn’t discounting, couponing or online group deal buying – it’s loyalty programs.

Stevie Award finalist for “most innovative company”, Welcomemat Services specializes in helping businesses turn new movers into loyal customers. The company is now rolling out the “welcome mat” for those savvy entrepreneurs looking for a franchise opportunity in the estimated $133 billion local advertising market. With 12 territories open in the South, the marketing firm plans to add 15 franchises throughout the United States in 2011 and over 200 in the next five years.

WelcomeMat recently finished an online presentation explaining the company’s new franchise model here: http://www.welcomematfranchising.com/ppc/video.php

Designed specifically to introduce families and individuals who have recently moved to their neighborhood to retailers and service providers, The Welcomemat™ loyalty platform begins by delivering a printed package of sophisticated invitations to a unique group of new movers in an area each month. Welcomemat Services is also the first and only loyalty marketing platform designed to bar code new mover information into every invitation.

By focusing on a segment of the population that is highly likely to become loyal, Welcomemat Services is helping businesses grow profits by adding more long-term customers, while helping the franchisee increase revenues as well.

Ron Bunten of Sport Clips has seen immediate results. "Welcomemat has been a wonderful marketing tool for Sport Clips. New movers are vital to our success and Welcomemat’s clean and highly targeted approach has enabled us to capture a large group of new, loyal clients each month.”

With exclusive territories offered, WelcomeMat offers a low-inventory, low start-up cost business model with the potential for exceptional return-on-investment. The required investment for a single, home-based franchise unit ranges from $49,900 to $77,050, which includes a franchise fee of $35,000. To augment the company’s growth, Welcomemat Services is seeking sales-savvy individuals to develop the local Welcomemat networking and own their share of a brand that is creating the next revolution in local, technology-based marketing.
