Festive Franchise Growing in Popularity

09/08/2007

A festive franchise is bringing an American trend to the UK. The Christmas Decorators is offering a franchise opportunity to provide a specialist Christmas party decorating service to businesses and private householders. Founded in 2000 by Nick and Sarah Bolton, the concept of The Christmas Decorators is to have a decorations package available to suit every customer’s taste and budget.

The USA has several national chains providing external and internal Christmas party decorating services. "Seasonal decorating is big business in the US," explains Nick Bolton. "We're aiming to bring that way of thinking to the UK."

With a growing reputation amongst the hospitality industry as well as amongst celebrities The Christmas Decorators franchise is finding itself a solid customer base. Director of Sales Martin Coop claims: "This year's sales are already headed to be four times what they where in 2006. One restaurant chain even claimed their turnover to have increased by 40 per cent, having made a very impressive effort on both inside and outside decoration."

Nick and Sarah are hoping their franchise opportunity will attract people looking for a bolt-on business, such as landscape gardeners, lawn-care specialists or roofing contractors who have traditionally quiet periods over the Christmas party season. "We will train franchisees on all aspects of the business including techniques for producing eye catching designs”, says Nick. “This is a fun business for fun people that can generate fantastic revenues."
