AllOver Media is building an out-of-home media network to reach captive audiences across the country.

We plan to grow our national network to more than 200 franchisees over the next few years. To accomplish this we need skilled, energetic entrepreneurs who understand the risks and rewards of owning their own business.

This franchise buying opportunity is ideal for anyone who is seeking a small business franchise, a home-based sales business, a no employees franchise or an entrepreneur franchise opportunity. It’s all of that and more. AllOver Media franchise opportunities offer less hassle and can be run as a no employees franchise.

We have extensive experience in out-of-home advertising. Our founder was a driving force in the establishment and growth of the indoor advertising industry. Indoor, or restroom advertising, is located in the bathrooms and common areas of family restaurants, sports bars, health clubs and nightclubs all over the country.

 Out-of-home advertising is a vital element in every well-conceived media plan. Over the past 20 years, traditional media has become more fragmented. Consumers are spending more time away from home and less time watching TV, listening to radio and reading the newspaper.

As consumers have become more difficult to reach, advertisers have sought new ways of targeting them. New advertising mediums have popped up all across the landscape: street furniture, bus shelter, transit, gas pump top advertising. All of these, and many others, are called non-traditional or ambient media advertising.

The category of non-traditional advertising is the fastest growing segment in out-of-home advertising–a $5.5 billion industry!

Amazingly, out-of-home advertising such as outdoor billboards, indoor advertising, and gas pump advertising has grown to almost twice the rate of traditional media over the past decade. Industry experts expect out-of-home ad spending to reach $8.6 billion by 2012.

So, how does an entrepreneur with a flair for sales and a drive to succeed build their an out-of-home media company? By looking to AllOver Media’s franchise training and support team!

 Our industry knowledge and experience in the field allows us to maintain a competitive advantage over others who may venture into out-of-home media in small (40,000 population), medium (up to 400,000) and large (400,000 plus) markets across the country. Our commitment to training, product innovation and superior service will help keep us ahead of the pack for many years to come.

This is an exciting time at AllOver Media. We are poised to grow and prepared to provide franchisees the tools they need to build a successful local business.

Running a business is considered the pinnacle of American entrepreneurship; the end result where profit flow and becoming your own boss becomes reality. There are a variety of reasons why someone would want to franchise. First of all, does franchising mean starting a business with its first penny? What about purchasing an already up-and-running business from owners who want to pursue other ventures or retire? Is total control of business operations a given when buying a franchise? Let’s review the intricacies of business franchising and see if it is right for you.

Talk to Me about Franchising!

Let’s say you’re opening the doors to your own Chili’s restaurant. This Tex-Mex oriented restaurant is hoping to service a legion of loyal patrons in the future, and you’re jumping ship waiting in the wings for this. To own your own Chili’s, you have to buy a franchise. Qualifications for buying a franchise vary, including the amount of upfront money. For starters, you must have $150,000 or more of non-borrowed money to qualify, with coverage for total opening costs that can range from $430,000 to $750,000. These funds go towards maintenance fees, rent, deep fryers, bathroom supplies – everything associated with the functioning of a Chili’s. Franchise rules say that 40% of the total cost of opening a franchise must come from your own funds not borrowed from a bank.

For starters, an initial franchise fee of (say, $45,000) must be given directly to Chili’s. This is the only fee you pay towards the company, with the other costs going to suppliers. Franchises will throw you into a strict nine-month training program where you’ll be introduced to the in and out’s of the business – service, protocol, inventory control methods, quality mechanisms, etc. A company will ask that you run the franchise from one location for a designated number of years, in addition to following décor protocol for the restaurant through using their insignias, labels, symbols, logos, and colors.

After the training program, Chili’s will present you with a store location that’s finished on the exterior but leave you to provide for interior work. A franchise owner will add any kitchen equipment, seating arrangement, and be responsible for the layout of the restaurant. Field consultants will be on-call to assist you with everything dealing with the details and make regular visits to check up on you. You will be expected to pay a percentage of your monthly sales plus a flat base rent or an additional percentage rent of your sales. The opportunities for creating lots of money comes with how well you deal with operating costs, its location (obviously, a Chili’s in Herald’s Square in Manhattan will fare a lot better than one in Harlem), and your own talents in maneuvering and handling the franchise.

In essence, franchising means paying a business for its overall strategy, plus the use of the brand. It means joining forces with a business by using its brand and marketing/operational philosophy to make your investment pay off. By operating it through its time-tested rules, you can increase the likelihood of success because the business has already established itself in the market. Do you become your own boss when running a franchise? The answer is a partial no – you only own the assets you used to jump start the business.
