Blue Moon Franchising FAQs
How much can I make as a Blue Moon franchisee?
The Federal Trade Commission and various state franchise sales regulations restrict us from providing you with specific profit projections. However, we do include our franchisee earnings within our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which you’ll sign when you pay your franchise fee. To learn more about real-world experiences, we encourage you to speak with existing franchisees during the application process.
How much money do I need to get started?
Our estimated total franchise investment ranges from $57,015 to $113,325 – with an initial fee range from $24,500-$57,000. In compiling this financial data, we relied on our own industry knowledge and experience, as well as that of our affiliate and existing franchisees. These figures are estimates only, and we cannot guarantee that you will not have additional expenses in starting your franchised business.
What’s the average ROI on a Blue Moon franchise?
We can’t publicly disclose actual numbers, but you get what you put into it. Unlike a food stall in a mall where your sales are pretty flat year round, our business model does require someone to work a territory up to sustainability (usually 12 months). Some have only dipped a big toe in while others have dived right into the deep end. We give you all the training, tools and technology to make the quickest ROI – but it’s up to you to follow through on it. On average, we see our franchisees make a return on their investment in under a year, while other franchise concepts may take over five years.
How long does it take to open a Blue Moon franchise?
The total turnaround time is about 60 days from first reaching out to us, coming to a discovery day, receiving the Financial Disclosure Document, signing the FDD and completing our mandatory two-week training class. During this time we plug you into our online systems and software – and it is not uncommon for our new franchisees to have sales calls during the later part of training.
What kind of training can I expect before I open my franchise?
Our two-week training program covers all disciplines of the industry, including:
- Proper marketing techniques
- Sales
- Set-up
- Event planning
- Our extensive front and back of house marketing platform
- Item assessment and identification processes
- Pricing strategies
- More!
What kind of technology is in place to help me?
We are constantly investing in the online marketing platforms that drive leads to our franchisees. We also plug you into our innovative sales platform that integrates social media, email, shopper rewards and sales data marketing in one place.
This opportunity looks great! What are my next steps?
Fill out a franchise application and speak with one of our representatives. They can answer all your estate sale franchise questions not addressed here. If you like what you hear, sign up to attend one of our “discovery days” where you’ll get a more in-depth sense of the business and a look at our FDD, which outlines all costs of running the business.
