<a href="https://www.boconcept.com/en-us/boconcept/franchise?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=boconcept-strengthens-commitment-to-franchisees-at-global-conference-2706749" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BoConcept</a> recently celebrated another strong year of growth at the brand&rsquo;s annual conference held in Herning, Denmark. Participants from around the globe including franchisees, visual merchandisers, store managers, sales associates and corporate staff members met to discuss the strategy that would help <a href="https://boconcept.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=boconcept-strengthens-commitment-to-franchisees-at-global-conference-2706749" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BoConcept</a> more than double its existing franchisee footprint to reach 600 stores globally.

The largest key contributor to growth according to CEO Anton Van De Putte is the brand&rsquo;s relationship with new and existing franchisees, an area he plans to nurture in 2018 in order to spark development.

&ldquo;We want to open these stores with franchise partners because we believe that the franchise model is the best model,&rdquo; said Van De Putte. &ldquo;The franchisees that own their own store are fully in charge of how to operate the business. They know the local market, they know the local customers and they know how these people want to be addressed. I believe in that model and we as an organization believe in that model.&rdquo;

By launching new store-level training programs and strengthening B2B sales, the brand believes they can drive sales and ultimately, help welcome new franchisees to the system. In fact, within the past two years alone, BoConcept has more than doubled B2B sales making that area approximately a third of overall sales.

&ldquo;We are looking to hire on more B2B professionals who will help us continue to drive partnerships with corporations in target segments around the world,&rdquo; said Chief Retail Officer Michael Linander. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re introducing a B2B manual, offering a new discount structure for those that buy in bulk, and implementing a global sales pipeline to get better insight into our overall performance. By driving customers to our B2B look-book on our website and launching designs that match current trends, we know we have an opportunity to have even greater results in this category in the future.&rdquo;

BoConcept also talked about strengthening the relationship with its customer base with improved digital communications and the launch of an eCommerce platform, areas where competitors are still slowly cracking the surface.

&ldquo;As we shift our focus from a product-focused brand to a customer-centric lifestyle brand, we&rsquo;re creating an opportunity to generate growth by setting ourselves apart from competitors,&rdquo; said BoConcept&rsquo;s Marketing Director Steen Knigge. &ldquo;The stronger that we become as a retailer, the better we will be able to serve our customers around the world. We look forward to seeing what we&rsquo;re able to accomplish with this new vision.&rdquo;

But even with this new customer-centric approach, BoConcept will continue to be an innovative leader with its unique, high-quality designs. The company introduced several new products and line extensions at the conference to provide customers with greater variety and will be releasing these slowly throughout the remainder of the year. One of those highlighted was an <a href="https://boconcept.1851franchise.com/details/2706248/BoConcept-Continues-to-Create-Inspiring-Designs-with-New-Modular-Outdoor-Collection?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=boconcept-strengthens-commitment-to-franchisees-at-global-conference-2706749#mostRecent" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">outdoor furniture collection</a> designed by world-class designer Henrik Pedersen which launched nationwide earlier this year.

LAST UPDATED: January 2026 FRANCHISE WEBSITE:<a href="https://www.newuwomensclinic.com/franchise-locations/">&nbsp;https://www.newuwomensclinic.com/franchise-locations/</a> 1851 NEWSROOM:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.1851franchise.com/new-u-womens-clinic">https://www.1851franchise.com/new-u-womens-clinic</a> NUMBER OF LOCATIONS: 2 REPORTED COST TO GET IN: N/A (See below) REPORTED ROI (Item 19): N/A (See below)New U Women’s Clinic &amp; Aesthetics is redefining women’s health, offering one of the first fully integrated “inside-out” women’s wellness franchise models in the country. By combining hormone therapy, medical weight loss, aesthetics, IV therapy and comprehensive women’s health into one luxury-driven, clinically grounded experience, the brand is filling a massive void in both the health care and med spa markets. For franchisees, New U provides a powerful combination of emotional purpose, strong consumer demand and a fully systematized business model.<h2>1. What Is the Brand Overview for New U Women’s Clinic &amp; Aesthetics?</h2><h3>About the Brand</h3>New U Women’s Clinic &amp; Aesthetics was founded in 2020 in Washington’s Tri-Cities region by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newuwomensclinic.com/meet-the-team/">Dr. Rachel Fidino</a>, a two-time cancer survivor and double-board-certified APRN. After experiencing early menopause at 32, significant weight gain and a lack of clinicians willing to address hormone imbalances, she recognized an urgent gap in women’s health care.New U was built to solve that problem. Its signature “inside-out” model integrates wellness, medical care and aesthetics into one cohesive ecosystem — not as separate departments, but as essential components of whole-patient well-being. The result is a clinic that delivers luxury hospitality and evidence-based medical care in one seamless experience.Mission: To provide whole-patient, relationship-driven women’s health and wellness services that combine clinical excellence, emotional intelligence and exceptional hospitality.Vision: To transform women’s health nationwide through a scalable, values-driven model that treats the root cause of wellness needs and redefines how women experience care.<h3>Unique Selling Points (USPs)</h3><ul><li>A true “inside-out” care model integrating medical weight loss, hormone therapy, aesthetics, IV therapy and women’s health under one roof.</li><li>A boutique, hospitality-inspired patient experience (comfort menu, spa water, curated ambience).</li><li>Personalized, long-term care plans instead of transactional, one-off treatments.</li><li>Evidence-based medicine anchored by a founder with deep clinical expertise.</li><li>A clinic environment designed to be warm, luxurious and emotionally supportive.</li><li>Services and care pathways specifically designed around women’s hormonal, metabolic and aesthetic needs.</li><li>Proven patient loyalty, satisfaction and retention at the flagship location.</li></ul><h2>2.

How much can franchisees make? It’s a question many prospective owners ask before investing in a franchise. While earnings tend to be driven by variables such as industry, location and general management skills, a proper understanding of the key factors driving profitability can help franchise owners develop expectations that are realistic.&nbsp;Multi-unit franchisee&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mangesh-patel-9368569/">Mangesh Patel</a>, who’s readying the launch of six&nbsp;<a href="https://www.beefobradysfranchise.com/">Beef ‘O’ Brady’s</a> restaurant locations in the Macon, Georgia area, shares insights from his franchising experience.<h2>Understanding Franchise Income</h2>Keeping operational costs in check can have a major impact on overall earnings. Taking a proactive approach to expenses such as food and labor, as well as payroll and scheduling, can help align actual franchise income with general expectations for the business.“I just had a meeting with a couple of people, and they said, ‘You talked about a 25% profit margin, but I’m only doing 12%.’ So, I looked at the figures they sent me,” Patel said. “Their&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/calculate-restaurant-franchise-profit-2730476">restaurant</a> food cost was running at 37%, which should be around 30%. The national average is about 32%. If I do things correctly, my average food cost needs to be at or below 30%. And payroll should run around 18%. But many people run 25 to 28%.”So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/unraveling-franchise-earnings-how-much-can-you-really-make-2723935">how much can franchisees make</a>? Here are five areas to consider.<h2>Practical Tips for Prospective Franchisees</h2><ol><li>Control Costs From Day One:&nbsp;It’s important to monitor payroll, food and supply costs closely. Overstaffing and inefficiencies can quickly reduce profits.</li><li>Plan For The Opening Surge:&nbsp;Traffic within the first few months of opening is likely to be higher. It’s important to adjust staffing and inventory accordingly, and pay close attention to how those levels change as time goes on.</li><li>Invest In Training:&nbsp;Properly trained workers can help reduce waste and improve overall service, which has a direct effect on net income.</li><li>Understand Your Market:&nbsp;Each market is unique and revenue potential will vary depending upon location, demographics and competition.</li><li>Track Metrics Regularly:&nbsp;Food cost percentages, labor ratios and weekly sales data act as key indicators operations may need to be adjusted.</li></ol><h2>What Profitability Really Comes Down To</h2>Patel notes that if franchise owners manage labor and costs properly, it’s not impossible to achieve strong cash flow even in the first year, bucking some franchising trends.So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-can-you-make-as-a-franchise-owner-2724761">how much can franchisees make</a>? While results tend to vary, careful planning, disciplined operations and a proactive approach to assessing initial costs are essential. But by grasping and guiding the elements that drive franchise profitability, franchise owners can maximize overall business earnings, scaling a business that’s sustainable financially over the long term.Want to learn more about franchise opportunities on 1851 Franchise?

How Much Can Franchisees Make? A Guide for Prospective Franchise Owners

how-much-can-franchisees-make-a-guide-expert-tips

The linear sales funnel is dying. Prospective buyers are no longer filling out a form at first glance and waiting for the phone to ring. They’re doing the majority of the heavy lifting before they even make themselves known to the franchisor. For franchisors, this means one key thing: you must know exactly where candidates spend their time. No guesswork. And you have to adjust your strategy accordingly.And, in today's buyer world, the biggest buzz term is 2026's ride or die for franchise brands – Ai.&nbsp;If you are trying to sell a franchise today, you must meet candidates where they are (four walls, Ai, website, social advertising).&nbsp;Focusing on a strong digital footprint first and then lead generation will help the brand with validation and will lay the foundation for trust before the first conversation even happens. Still, franchisors must know where to find their candidates and be confident the candidates are being sent to the right place.“We consistently see the strongest lead performance from Google Search (paid and organic), social platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn and our franchise development website,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/erinlsnyder">Erin Snyder</a>, head of franchise development at&nbsp;<a href="https://handelsicecream.com/handels-franchise/">Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream</a>. “Because all awareness and advertising efforts ultimately funnel candidates to our development site, maintaining a highly optimized, mobile-first web presence is critical for conversion.”<h2>The "Hidden" Channels: Authentic Research via AiSEO</h2>While Google and major portals are often where a candidate might start a broad search, the deep research happens in the shadows. This is where candidates scroll, mindlessly or otherwise, simply observing rather than clicking “apply” immediately; or, ask Ai chatbots about the best franchises to buy, the blind spots, the why nots, and, of course, the whys.Right now, Ai plays a key role in this research stage. Buyers want the truth.&nbsp;For franchisors, this means your content strategy must pivot. It is no longer enough to post stock photos of happy business owners. You must document the journey, showing the behind-the-scenes reality that proves your concept has staying power.<h2>The Pivot From Print to Digital Interactivity</h2>While print media has been a channel for franchise development in the past, its static nature has made it less effective as the buyer’s journey has shifted to digital. Buyers are generally looking for channels that will allow them to click, read and continue the search immediately.“Traditional print media has largely become a thing of the past for franchise development,” Snyder said. “What has been encouraging, though, is seeing many of these publications successfully pivot to digital formats that offer greater interactivity, stronger analytics and far better linkability than print ever could.”This creates a more dynamic experience for the candidate. In addition to a digital article, franchisors can embed a “day in the life” video, for example, or hyperlink a deeper dive on costs and profits for instant validation.This shift also allows franchisors to track return on investment more effectively. Instead of guessing if an article or ad worked, digital publications allow you to see exactly who clicked through, allowing for retargeting and smarter budget allocation.<h2>The Conversion Hub: Your Mobile-First Website</h2>Once a candidate has discovered you on Google, watched your videos on TikTok and read about you in a digital publication, they finally arrive at the destination: your franchise development website.This is the bottom of the funnel, where you will win or lose a candidate. Because all other channels point here, your website cannot just be a digital brochure. It has to be a conversion engine. And crucially, it must work perfectly on a smartphone.The question can’t just be “Do we have a website?” Questions about the website should surround usability and readability. Is navigation easy on a smartphone? Does the site load quickly? Is it readable? If a prospect has to pinch-and-zoom to read your investment costs and financial performance, they will leave.An optimized, mobile-first presence is critical because it serves as the collection point; all other awareness efforts funnel potential franchisees to the site. The user experience here should validate the trust built on other channels. However, accessibility is only half the battle; the content itself must be unsparingly open. The website is the channel where you must prove your value proposition with hard data.“Across all channels, the messaging needs to be clear, concise and consistent,” Snyder said. “Candidates should be able to easily find transparent investment ranges and financial requirements, a clear value proposition, compelling franchisee success stories, key differentiators from competitors and straightforward next steps for how to inquire.”When you treat your website as a transparency engine rather than a gatekeeper, you change the dynamic of the eventual sales call. A candidate who has already consumed your financial data and success stories arrives at the inquiry stage educated and qualified. This allows the development team to skip the basic fact-finding and move straight to strategy and fit.“When a candidate submits an inquiry, the first conversation should build on what the candidate has already learned,” Snyder said “ensuring they understand the opportunity they are considering, clarifying details, personalizing the discussion to their goals and moving them into a structured education process rather than starting from scratch.”<h2>Allocating the Budget: The "Ideal Candidate" Approach</h2>While a presence across multiple channels — from search and social to digital publications — is key, understanding exactly how much to invest in each option is the next hurdle. There is no single, magical approach to budgeting; a brand selling multi-million-dollar franchises needs to develop a presence in different places than a low-cost, mobile franchise will.To spend effectively, you must deeply understand your ideal franchisee profile. Once you know who is investing, you can begin working on where to find them. For example, a high-net-worth investor might be on LinkedIn and reading digital trade journals, while a first-time investor or someone seeking an owner-operator model might be influenced by local Facebook ads.“Franchisors should start by understanding their ideal franchisee profile and then allocate budget toward the channels where those prospects spend the most time,” Snyder said. “The mix will naturally look different for a high-investment, multi-unit candidate than for a first-time owner-operator. Beyond that, it’s critical to consider overall brand awareness and invest in channels that consistently get both the brand and the franchise opportunity in front of qualified prospects. A balanced approach that supports both awareness and lead capture tends to produce the strongest results.”<h2>Key Takeaways and Next Steps:</h2>Make sure you have a content footprint that answers the top 25 questions asked about your brand in Ai and Google searchs.Review your mobile experience: Open your franchise development site on your phone. If it takes more than three seconds to load or if the "Apply" button is hard to find, fix it immediately.Embrace "lo-fi" video content: You don't need a production crew. Use a smartphone to record "day in the life" videos with your franchisees and post them to social to build authentic trust.Ensure transparency and continuity:&nbsp;Candidates need to be able to find the information they’re looking for, and the experience should be consistent between a social page and a franchise development site. Make sure your value proposition is clear across all channels.Embrace innovation, but don’t count out the classics:&nbsp;Look at the whole picture. Many candidates are exploring opportunities on supplemental platforms like social media or in the results of a Google search, but they’re still looking at the franchise development site, too. Don’t confine yourself to the “old reliable” methods, but don’t leave them behind, either.Budget by persona, not platform: Don't just "do Facebook ads." Define exactly who your buyer is, and spend your money only on the channels where that specific person consumes content.For more information on franchise growth channels, check out these related stories on 1851 Franchise:<ul><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-to-use-social-media-marketing-to-promote-your-franchise-2727185#stories">How To Use Social Media Marketing To Promote Your Franchise</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/building-a-franchise-website-that-converts-key-features-and-best-practices-2727363#stories">Building a Franchise Website That Converts: Key Features and Best Practices</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlfduHqGy7I">How to Sell Franchises | The Buyer Persona</a></li></ul>
