Cover Story
Retail Zoo and a Culture of Growth: One Franchise Partner at a Time
An ever-growing trend in the franchise sector is to see a number of successful single-brand operators creating a “stable” of brands under the one broad management structure. Taking their expertise and success in their single brand also allows them to enjoy efficiencies in many aspects of the business that would not otherwise have been possible for a brand on its own. By Emma Webb
R
etail Zoo is a perfect example of this “brand stable” strategy in action as the parent company of three successful Australian franchise systems — CIBO Espresso, Boost Juice Bars and Salsa’s Fresh Mex. Franchise Buyer recently caught up with their Global Business Development Manager, Olivia Elsley, about how the franchise system works. Although Boost Juice Bars, CIBO Espresso and Salsa’s Fresh Mex are all individual franchise brands, they all fall under the Retail Zoo banner, with many of the resources shared among the three businesses. Of course, the most well-known brand amongst the stable is Boost Juice Bars, with the inspirational founder and entrepreneur Janine Allis still very much

involved with all three brands. Areas such as leasing and shop fitting for all brands are taken care of by Retail Zoo, while each brand has its own general manager and marketing team. “The whole back of house is run in silos to ensure the integrity of them as individual brands to the marketplace,” Olivia says. As if looking after three franchise brands does not keep the team at Retail Zoo busy, Olivia says they are always on the lookout for suitable brands to acquire. “As a multi-brand management company, we are always looking for opportunities,” she says. “We are always looking in the food retail niche, but the opportunities need to be the right ones so that they are the right fit for our entire business.” Retail Zoo is not only looking to expand through acquiring other brands,

but it is also looking to grow through its existing franchisees. “Our number one challenge is selecting the right franchise business partners to maintain the original culture of the brand from when it commenced and having new partners become that culture and keep up the intensity and energy levels,” Olivia says. She adds, “When a franchise brand starts and customers love it, they then want to multiply it to experience that brand in many other locations. The challenge is keeping the authenticity of the brand and maintaining this, as you add new sites and new franchise business partners into the business.” “Our goal is to grow the core business, which is the single franchise business of the single storeowner. This is our key focus in all that we do, as that success then leads to the single storeowner becoming a multi-storeowner, which means the brand continues to grow.” “A lot of brands measure success in store number growth. The goal of Retail Zoo is to have franchisees making more money in more sites of their business and not growing Retail Zoo at the expense of the franchise business partner.” “It was a foundation principle of Boost to be very partnerfocused and this has not changed, and in my experience, this is a refreshing approach in the industry.” Remaining competitive is about staying ahead of the game,
according the Olivia, who says Retail Zoo is investigating new ways of delivering its offerings to its customers. “We are certainly looking at ways to make it easy for customers to utilise our brands through the digital space,” she says. “The challenge is always getting customers to utilise digital contact with shopfronts as an impulse. We are working on new technology, which is all about making it easy for customers to interact with us and not be at the shopfront but having the product ready for them when they want it, recognising your customers and being aware when they arrive in the proximity of your store. As far as where the three Retail Zoo brands are expanding, Olivia was quite clear. “Some may not realise that Boost still has a lot of new store growth in regional and metropolitan stores, so this is an area we are focused on. As for CIBO and Salsa’s, we have a broader national expansion strategy in place for both brands.” “We are employing a lot of data to site selection, so we are able to see and articulate a lot more opportunities. I am firm in the belief that the future of location expansion in the franchise sector is all data-driven, so this is something to be on the look out for when considering location opportunities in any type of business and from any franchise system.” To find out more about Retail Zoo or the franchise brands it represents, visit www.retailzoo.com.au.

Top Global Food and Drink Trends for 2016
Global market research company Mintel has released its food and drink trend predictions for 2016.
1
Vegetarian alternatives to go mainstream. Dairy, gluten and meat alternatives will no longer just be consumed by those with dietary needs.
2
Less processed foods, more natural. Consumers will continue to be concerned with eating natural and “less processed” food products.
3
Sustainable practices will be necessary. Food manufacturers will be required to demonstrate their credentials in environment and good sustainability practices.
4 5
Eating for the body and beauty. Consumers will have an increased focus on eating for beauty.
Matching food with exercise programs. The connection between exercise and diet will increase, as more people become concerned with matching what they are eating with training programs. As consumers progress in exercise regimes, they will want their diets to progress and evolve to match.
6
Verifying claims. In 2016, consumers and regulators will continue to insist that all brand origin and stories be better verified.
7
Matching diets with DNA. Recent consumer interest in “ancient grains and superfoods” will result in consumers seeking to match diet with their personal physiology and diets that connect with their ancestry or genetic make-up.
8
Social media is key. Social media will continue to play a significant role in the way people eat. Consumers will continue to share pictures and stories about their food on platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
9
Single meal portions. “Across age groups, more consumers are living in single-person households occasionally eating meals alone. These meals for one require right-sized products and packaging as well as promotions that further erode any stigma of dining solo,” said Mintel’s Global Food and Drink Analyst, Jenny Ziegler.
10
Fat is no longer to be feared. There will be more awareness surrounding fats and acceptance of the benefits of some types of unsaturated fat. Fat content will not be the first thing consumers look at when examining product labelling.
11
Appearance is everything. “Flavour has long been the core of innovation, but more visual and share-focused societies call for innovation that is boldly coloured and artfully constructed. Finding inspiration in global foodservice offerings, brands can experiment with vibrant colours and novel shapes to make packaged products worthy of consumer praise and social media posts,” said Ziegler.
Overall conclusion from Mintel “These trends explore how consumers’ evolving priorities, opportunities from advancements in functional formulation and the almost inescapable reach of technology will affect food and drink in the coming year. Consumers are not the only influencers, as shifting economics, natural phenomena and social media are shaping what, how, where and with whom consumers are choosing to eat and drink. The trends will play out differently across the world based upon a variety of factors, including cultural norms, regional availability and societal needs. In some cases, established trends from one area are migrating to new regions, while a few emerging trends have the potential to disrupt the worldwide landscape,” said Ziegler. ausfoodnews.com.au

Dymocks Survey Shows That We Are a Nation of Booklovers New research into Australia’s reading habits shows we are a nation of booklovers, with two thirds of us hoping to unwrap a book this Christmas.
T
he OmniPoll survey conducted among 1245 Australians aged over 18 years finds that three quarters of Australians say they love reading a good book. Women lead the trend, with 83% making regular “metime” to read compared to 66% of men. In heartening news for those searching for last-minute gift ideas, 62% of Australians hope to receive a book this Christmas. Attitudes are much the same across age groups, but more women (70%) than men (54%) feel this way. Sophie Higgins, Head of Merchandise and Marketing, Dymocks, sees the results of the survey as powerful affirmation of the enormous appeal of books. “Publishing trends come and go, but it is heartening to see that good books never go out of fashion,” Ms. Higgins said. At the time of the survey, nearly 2 weeks out from Christmas Day, over half the adult population, around 9.6 million people, say they are likely to give someone a book this Christmas. This included almost 60% of women. The popularity of books as gifts is part of a national trend. The Retail Council’s recent report1 into holiday spending ranks books among the top three gift purchases this Christmas, ahead of toys, music, electronics and other entertainment equipment. When it comes to Christmas spending, younger Australians are more likely to buy books as presents than the older generation. Fifty-eight% of the aged 18-34 surveyed will buy books as Christmas gifts compared to 47% of the over 50s. Higgins said the survey results show that, regardless of whom you are buying for, there is a great book to suit everyone. “This is a bonanza year for booklovers with an incredibly diverse range of new releases. Usually there are four or five standouts that everyone will buy as that special gift. This year, though, there are books to suit every taste. We cannot wait for Boxing Day when we can start reading them all.” 1Retail Council’s annual survey of Christmas shoppers.

The findings correspond with strong book sales in the lead up to Christmas. Dymocks reported a sales uplift of over 15% in the first week of December compared to the same time last year. “Books make the perfect gift, and unlike other items, their appeal lasts well beyond Christmas. With books, you do not need to spend a lot of money to find the perfect present. We know our customers love to give books as much as they like receiving them. If you are stuck for gift ideas, a personal recommendation from our well-read staff will help you find your next great read,” Higgins said. Dymocks expects strong trading right through to Christmas. “December is our biggest month of the year. Over 25% of our annual sales occur during the Christmas period. Sales will be strengthened by the release of major new Star Wars books in mid-December to coincide with the world wide movie premiere,” Higgins commented. www.dymocks.com.au
OmniPoll key findings

The Face Behind the Phone
Driving for 2 hours to get to work may not be most Australians cup of tea, but for many Manila-based telemarketers it is a small price to pay for a rewarding career. By Leona Devaz
“W
elcome to the Philippines, a place that is now one of the world’s thriving hotbeds of outsourced call centres or better known as BPOs — Business Process Outsourcing”, Trent Leyshan joyfully booms. Founder of BOOM! Sales, Mr. Leyshan recently visited Manila to develop AGL Energy’s offshore sales capability. Not only was it exciting to be in a new country, but it was also an eye-opening experience that formed the basis of his mini-documentary “The Face Behind the Phone”. Philippines is the second largest global BPO behind India. As Leyshan explains, “If you think local jobs are being lost to offshore, you are right. Give me the best person for the job, someone who cares and someone who is passionate.” His 7-minute documentary provides a detailed snapshot of five Manila-based employees and their insights into working in the sales industry. It ranges from 23-year-old Deborah, who quit school at 17 and works “tremendously hard” to pay for medicines for her brother, to a new dad Karl, who lives outside of Metro Manila and invites Leyshan to celebrate his daughter’s first birthday. The documentary gives a palpable sense of family
values, gratitude, enthusiasm and a deep-seated desire to create engagement with Australian customers. Leyshan admits nothing could have prepared him for the first day of his sales training. “They were so excited by someone coming over to train them, which made a real impact on me.” He says, as a corporate training professional, “It is in complete contrast to how some people and some companies value training back here in Australia.” The answer lies with leadership. “Most training fails, as it is not lived and breathed by the leaders of organisations — and I mean live and breath.” This is the fundamental difference between an employee lamenting, “Here is another training session that will go nowhere” and employees “wanting to learn more and more” and have passion for what they do. Leyshan’s aim is for people to see “the faces behind the phone” and understand that “they are not soulless, faceless manipulators trying to sell products. They are trying to make their way in the world and see this role as a real opportunity.” A MUST WATCH “The Face Behind the Phone” with Trent Leyshan https://vimeo.com/139776817

basics of digital marketing in place, like a mobile-friendly website. This is no longer an “option” — it is a MUST. Not only will you be penalised in search engine rankings without it, you will also be losing business. According to Comscore, 78% of mobile searches for local business information result in a purchase — if you are not in the search results and showing properly on mobile devices, your business will literally become invisible. There is no doubt that your franchise must implement digital marketing to be successful in the future, but the true key to success is KNOWLEDGE — understanding what tools and strategies support your corporate goals and direction, and how you should allocate your time and money across the many strategies available. Whether you are a franchisor or a franchisee, it is essential to understand the fundamentals of marketing, website design and online strategies so you can make informed decisions to grow your business for the future. are able to get our message in front of exactly the right people at the right time. For example, with Gmail Sponsored Promotions advertising, you can directly target people who have received emails from your competitors — so if you are a travel franchise, you can get your advertisement in front of people who are currently receiving emails from flightcentre.com.au or smartraveller.gov.au. Social media gives us the ability to create communities and conversations around our brands, launch new products and learn what customers love and hate about our business, giving the opportunity to improve and provide the best experience possible. However, this wealth of opportunity may also be the death nell for many owners and operators who are not prepared to keep up. Many business owners have fallen into paralysis from the sheer overwhelm of possibilities, and even the big companies have been stung by misjudging their use of digital marketing tools. When McDonald’s launched the hashtag #McDStories, they expected people to share their nostalgic memories of eating at McDonald’s when they were young — but within hours the tag had been hijacked by people telling horror stories about finding fingernails in burgers and being hospitalised for food poisoning.

With Xpresso Mobile Café,Your Second Van Costs Just 20 Cups of Coffee per Day, and You Own It for $1 After 5 Years! That is the deal according to Jonathan Payne, who is making it easier for franchise partners to grow their own “coffee empire” faster with this innovative approach. By Leona Devaz

presso Mobile Café franchisees are making money. In January 2016, John Kay, a Logan, Queensland- based franchisee, is starting his second business. It will be the first time for the mobile coffee van franchise (and John) and is only the start of things to come. Managing Director, Jonathan Payne, says it is testament to two factors. The first one is “The system works. If you are not making money, you will not get a second van. We assist franchisees to get into their second van at cost and we have a finance solution to get them onto the road.” The second is an entrepreneurial spirit. “This franchisee looks at the bigger picture and he is robust. We are in a relationship where we support each other — that is what the franchisor/franchisee relationship is all about.” Franchisees within the Xpresso Mobile Café network can operate their second van anywhere within their territory. This premium mobile coffee franchise prides itself on giving large territories enough for franchise partners to support an additional two to three vans, if they choose. “It is all about assisting each other to succeed. Everyone has the ability to do it. It is up to them. We do not push them,” Mr. Payne explains. In a competitive coffee landscape, he believes this point of difference is crucial. 18

“Our competitors pigeonhole them into small areas, whereas we genuinely want people to succeed,” adds Payne. With Logan being an area of commercial and light industrial businesses, there is a need for employees to be served high-end coffee and cold lunch products — “the morning solution and lunch solution”. The food offering is popular and an area the business is starting to place a focus on. Their exclusive partnership with Di Bella coffee has given them another edge, actively promoting a philosophy of “Crop to Cup”. This ethos focuses on supporting communities who are the source of the coffee products, as “sustainability is a huge part of who we are”. The green buying program not only improves the quality of the green beans but also creates value for franchisees. “We also use biocups, so all our cups are compostable,” says Payne. He says 99% of cups have plastic component around them and are not biodegradable. With the vans fully equipped to deliver the produce, Payne jokes the fit-out is worth more than the van itself. However, it is level of detail that is meeting their client’s expectations for great coffee and service. www.xpressocoffee.com.au

Sales Growth Strategies for New Franchisees
Many people who purchase a franchise that is already up and running (as opposed to a brand-new site) are looking to increase sales, but there is more to this than simply choosing a sales number.
T
By Kate Groom and Peter Knight
here is more than one way to increase sales in a business, and the choice will affect marketing, staffing and business operations. Because of this, it is important to know which approach a franchisor recommends, how they will support it through marketing and what it means for how you run the business. To have that conversation, you will need to be aware of some basics of sales growth strategy. Let us take a look. Increasing sales might sound simple enough, but there is a lot to it. It is more than finding new customers. That is because sales revenue involves the price you charge and the number of transactions you make. Therefore, to increase sales, there are three main approaches a business can take. Increase price, decrease number of transactions. This is a “premium pricing” strategy. It means offering more to your customers, which allows you to charge more. It is more than simply putting your prices up; your customer must perceive additional value. Decrease price, increase number of transactions. This is a “discount” strategy. It means reducing your prices with the aim of increasing the number of transactions. You need to make sure the increase in volume counteracts the impact of the price reduction. Increase price, increase number of transactions. This means putting your prices up and also selling more. It needs to be carefully planned and thought through, as there is a lot involved.

Each of these has different consequences for marketing. For instance, with a premium approach, you will want to attract customers who can spend more. This should be reflected in promotions, store fit-out and point of sale. The decisions do not stop with marketing. With a premium pricing approach, your customers will expect a high level of service. What does it mean for the staff you recruit, how you train them and how you measure their performance? A successful discounting strategy means more customers. To cope with increased volume, staff may need to become much more productive, so the question becomes how will you make this happen. Once you have understood the approach to growing your business, write down the key things you will do to achieve your sales growth targets. These then become part of your business plan.

Franchise Your Business
Can You Franchise Your Business?
Well, yes, you can. Virtually every business I have come across in over 30 years has had the potential to be franchised. By Brian Keen
H
aving said that, of course, there are exceptions, and I know it is not feasible to create a franchise system for all businesses. • Some businesses are so specialised that there would be no market for additional outlets. • In other cases, the product is so complex it would be very difficult to reproduce an identical business, even with careful systems. • Yet, other cases are dependent on the particular skill set of one person and this combination of skills is difficult to replicate. However, businesses like these are very few and far between. More often, there are two other issues. The business owner’s business skills First, it might be that you, the business owner, do not have the skills (personal, business or management) to grow the business through franchising. Tom Potter (of Eagle Boys Pizza) put the changes in business focus and structure, which occur when converting to a franchise really well when he said, “I have moved from the pizza business to the people business.” If you are looking to franchise your business, it is likely that you are a driven business owner with entrepreneurial characteristics. Most of my clients reflect this profile, and their people skills are sadly lacking. Always dealing with the detail needed to systemise and delegate tasks is not easy to take on board. But create a team around you of people who have the skills you lack and then let go. Then you will find you have a beautifully leveraged franchise system.

FRANCHISE BUYER
The business is too complex A frequent issue where the entrepreneurial personality will try to take everything on board. Niching a business down so that it is simple as it can be is seen to be boring. Entrepreneurial businesses tend to grow and grow. The problem is that most franchisees will not have the skills to cover everything. Neither will they have the desire to work all times of the day and night to try to get the job done. Secondly, by trying to sell to the whole market and be everything to everyone, you will lose focus. Therefore, the first task a new franchisor and I go through is to simplify their product to meet the market and the skill set of potential franchisees.

5 Myths of Store Design That Every Retailer Needs to Know
Over more than two decades of designing retail stores, I have come across a multitude of ideas about how design theory should be into practice. Whilst some are time-tested truths, others are mere urban myths. By Mark Muller A widely — ) n u o n ( a. Myth elief or ide b e ls a f t u held b
L
ike all good myths, these ideas have a semblance of truth and rely on delivery by a trusted source to create what appears to be a convincing argument. Here are five store design myths on which I would like to set the record straight.
MythNo.1
Bigger shop = more display
As both consumer trends and competitive market forces change, store owners invariably need to increase or decrease the floor area accordingly.
24
FRANCHISE BUYER
The change in total floor space is often miscalculated due to the misunderstanding that all square metres are equal. The truth is that every additional square metre of floor area does not necessarily equate to an additional square metre of display space. Design factors impact this, such as the number of aisles for customer walk space and the ratio of wall shelving to freestanding shelving. For example, increasing an existing store size by adding an extra 1 m of width to a store that is 20 m long will technically add 20 sqm of floor space. However, 1 m is not enough to fit an extra run of shelving because the width of the shelving plus an extra aisle will require at least 1.8 m. Therefore, unless the existing aisle widths can be condensed, there is no benefit to the extra 1 m width. The take-home lesson here is that, whilst total area is important, the shape of a store affects the total length of wall space, and rectangular stores have more wall space than squares.

Store Design
MythNo.2
The quicker we can serve customers, the happier they will be
In these fast-paced times with increased demands on work, family and social commitments, people are more time-poor than ever. It is easy to translate this to the assumption that customers put the saving of time ahead of any other factor in their choice of store. This can lead storeowners to configure the design of their stores to allow quick entry, fast product selection, efficient transaction and swift exit from the store. Whilst some of these actions can improve the customer experience, not all improve the business performance. After all, a customer that is not in the store cannot buy anything. A better rationale for the business is to create a store environment that increases customer circulation around the store and encourages them to stay in the store with better product displays. By all means, speed up the entry and transaction time, but encourage browsing during the product selection and exit phases of the purchase path to increase sales.
MythNo.3
Signs will change customer behaviour
Retail stores can have many types of signs — department, promotional, directional, operational and many more. By the time a customer moves from the entry through the shop and to the sales counter, they have been so bombarded by messages that they tend to switch off in the relief that they are finally going to talk to a real person. However, POS counters themselves can also be littered
with small signs from well-intentioned staff who have become frustrated with repeating the same statements. These statements often appear on counter fronts but are often ignored by customers;
n “Queue Here”, n “Cash Only”, n “No Credit” and n “ID Required”
The truth is that it is normal human behaviour to only seek out messages that apply to an individual’s current needs, not the needs of the staff. A better solution is to train staff to introduce the messages verbally either in a prior conversation on the sales floor or during the purchase at the counter. Unfortunately, installing a variety of small signs is often an indication of staff frustration or even laziness, not to mention a good way to make customers feel silly when they ask a question and have a written answer pointed out directly in front.
Myth No.4 environment
Natural light makes a better store
I have often heard the virtues of natural light in an architectural space extolled by designers and clients alike. Whilst it is true that natural filtered light can create a pleasant atmosphere in certain spaces, it is more of an enemy than a friend to retail environments. Natural light is, in fact, the cause three different problems in retail stores. Firstly, the UV light from the sun is so intense that
www.FranchiseBuyer.com.au • November-December 2015 •
FRANCHISE BUYER
25
Store Design even in a filtered situation it can be enough to fade stock. The shelf life of products and packaging exposed to natural light is much less than those under artificial light. Secondly, the brightness of either direct or reflected sunlight is so powerful that it can completely annihilate any ambient or accent lighting effect attempted inside the store and can even make the rest of the store look dark. Thirdly, creating a successful retail experience requires that customers forget about what is outside the store and be immersed in the products and offerings inside the store. Windows and natural light tend to be distractions to this objective. It is better to have a small amount of filtered light at the storefront, but block enough of it to reduce impact and allow internal lighting to create the atmosphere.
MythNo.5
Mirrors make space look bigger and lighter
I am sure we have all experienced the effect that a room with a full mirror wall creates, and we have been deceived into thinking the room was double the size. We are also well aware of how good a mirror is at reflecting light. This, unfortunately, has translated into the combined misunderstanding by some people that adding mirror to the walls of a shop will both make it look bigger and also feel lighter. The first truth is that mirrors used in this fashion actually detract from the design effect intended in most stores. Using mirrors to create a false impression of size only serves to confuse and disorient customers as to the layout of the store. Nothing frustrates customers more than thinking they are approaching a destination only to realise upon arrival that they have been deceived by a mirage.

FRANCHISE BUYER
The second truth is that mirrors do not make a room feel lighter, but in fact can make it appear glary or even darker. The reason lies in two facts: That mirrors cannot magically “produce” light but only reflect existing light, so there is actually no extra light in the space, and That mirrors can only reflect what is opposite, so if the opposite side of the space is dark, then this darkness will be duplicated. Mirrors have their place in retail — sometimes for decoration, mostly for customers to try on products, but not for creating space or light. Next time you are tempted to use one of these or some other “so-called” design principles, consider the impact in the light of practical reasoning before implementation. It is always best to inspect working examples in other stores and even perform a small test yourself. After all, the harsh reality of personal experience will always dissolve the pseudo-reasoning of the most powerful myth.

always plenty of work to keep you going. Jesse says FibreNew is looking for a certain type of person to expand the brand throughout Australia.
