Training 

Blingle! franchisees receive comprehensive training to ensure their success in the outdoor lighting business. 

The training program is designed to cover every aspect of the business, starting with an extensive onboarding process that includes industry-exclusive training materials in the form of videos and web calls with subject matter experts. 

This is followed by a week-long intensive academy where franchise partners prepare for their grand opening.

The training academy provides hands-on experience and detailed guidance on various operational aspects, from customer acquisition and service delivery to utilizing the latest technology for sales and marketing. 

Franchisees learn how to leverage Blingle!’s proprietary systems, such as the nationwide call center, virtual design consultations, and the digital sales process, to streamline their operations and enhance customer experience.

Additionally, the support for Blingle! franchisees extends beyond the initial training phase. Continuous support is provided through various stages of the business, ensuring that franchisees can access expert advice and resources whenever needed. 

Territory Protection

Blingle! franchisees benefit from territory protection, which ensures that they operate within a defined geographical area without competition from other Blingle! franchisees. This protected territory typically includes a population of approximately 200,000, allowing franchisees to develop a substantial customer base and build strong community ties. 

The territory protection is designed to support franchisees in maximizing their business potential by providing an exclusive operational area.

The franchise agreement outlines the specifics of the protected territory, ensuring that franchisees can focus on delivering high-quality lighting services without the concern of overlapping service areas with other Blingle! franchisees.
