Do you love Lots for Tots? An amazing opportunity to work from home around your family & be your own boss Lots for Tots West Wiltshire franchise is for sale. We are looking for a parent that lives in Bradford on Avon, Calne, Chippenham, Corsham, Melksham, Trowbridge, Warminster or Westbury to be the new Editor. You will need: • Experience in design, sales, marketing or running a business • Keen admin skills • An eye for design • No other work commitments This opportunity would ideally suit someone with children in Nursery, Pre-School or School as you need time in the day to commit to the business. The perfect franchisee would have a sales or marketing background, be highly driven to make a profitable success of the magazine and equally as important, get the useful information out to as many parents as possible. Being a Lots for Tots Editor involves tele-sales, social media knowledge, admin such as database entry and invoicing, editing & design (training given) and distribution 4 times a year. The magazine is quarterly and revolves around school/ Nursery holiday times so it suits your family.
Our newest franchisee in the East Midlands joined us last summer. Her 3rd issue has already grown to 32 pages! She has this to say about her experience with Lots for Tots: “I have to say I love working with Lots for Tots. They are really fair and what made a difference to the other franchise I looked at about 3 years ago is that you are charged the management fee on what you earn so it’s in your own hands to grow your business. The other franchise was a crazy start up fee and unachievable projected earnings, not to mention bonkers monthly fee.” The franchise is a 5 year contract and the cost is £4k. You get full training, head office support. You would be investing in a business that has huge growth potential. All the hard work of setting up the company has been done, all it needs is the right person with the drive to grow it. After the 5 year term you can renew or sell it on at a profit. If you want to create the lifestyle balance of satisfying work fitting in with family life, then contact our Head Office. e: franchise@lotsfortots.co.uk t: 08456 436 831
