It’s given Blind Ideas a national reputation for innovation and excellence, and now the company is launching as a franchise. This is a high potential opportunity ideal for those with sales experience and an eye both for interior design and commercial opportunities. With more than 21 years’ experience in home furnishings and textiles sales, Paul Whitehead launched Blind Ideas in 2006 after he and his wife Anette returned from extended overseas travel to Paul’s hometown, Whangarei. ‘My vision was for a blind business targeting the middle and top end of the residential market,’ recalls Paul. ‘I discovered that, when digitally printed, blinds could be transformed from being just light-filters and block-outs to stunning one-of-a-kind photographic and design statements. ‘Achieving the standards I wanted took almost a year of research and development before I was ready to register Digiblinds® as exclusive to what would become Blind Ideas.
to franchisees, leaving you free to focus on building your business, making sales and delivering outstanding customer service.’ Paul is selling the original Blind Ideas Whangarei & Bay of Islands franchise (currently under contract) as an established business. ‘My focus now is on helping franchisees develop and grow their own businesses, and on developing new ideas that will further add to their earning capacity. ‘If you have sales experience and an eye for design, can work with both homeowners and commercial clients, and are looking for a profitable new business opportunity with a unique and growing range of products, contact me today – wherever you are. The time has come for Blind Ideas.’
‘Another reason for being so particular was the income potential of Digiblinds roller blinds for creating eye-catching window advertising and brand exposure. Far more versatile than signage applied direct to glass, this use of Digiblinds is a success story in itself and adds massively to a franchisee’s earning potential.’
