V2K Fast Facts- Not Just Another 'Blinds Franchise'
V2K window decor & more began with the vision that a window treatment business had to offer more business opportunities than currently was being offered in this growing marketplace
... more efficiencies, more visuals and more
options for customers. So in 2001, V2K window décor & more was born,
providing a replicable business model for the window coverings industry
and a technology found nowhere else. We are the leaders, the innovators,
the home-based window treatment franchise that makes selecting and
purchasing window treatments for a home or business a fun and creative
experience. Today we have about 200 franchises in 44 states and in
Canada and are strong and growing.
Top Ten Things to Know About V2K:
1. We're in a $10 BILLION industry
Virtually every home and business is a potential customer
for our products and services.
The next time you are out, look around and see the windows all around you... in homes, businesses, hotels and office buildings. Everyone has windows and everyone needs window coverings. For privacy and light exposure, they are a necessity versus a luxury. The market for custom window coverings has been expanding for 14 consecutive years and with new construction and changing trends, this tremendous growth will continue.
2. We have a significant competitive advantage that
nobody else comes close to!
Our unique Decor Creator software lets you perform simple to complex window treatment
designs in high-quality 3D right in front of your
customer! By showing the customer exactly what their
window treatments will look like on their windows, they have
the confidence to place the order with you. Each design
option is priced INSTANTANEOUSLY, giving the consumer instant
feedback to make the right buying decision. This creates a unique
buying experience for the customer when buying from V2K compared to
our 'competitors'. We have spend many years and lots of money
developing this software, and we know that NO ONE ELSE ON THE PLANET
CAN DO WHAT WE DO!
3. We compete on the low end and have profit potential on
the high end
Since we offer 'hard' window treatments (like blinds and
shutters) from all the major vendors, we can compete against
any other retail or home-based 'blind store'. We
offer a 'good, better, best' line of hard treatments, so NO ONE has a price
advantage on V2K. But here's the magic- when we're up against other 'blind
companies' that only offer hard treatments, we can match their rates on the hard
stuff, but we can add margin on the soft treatments and win the business (and a
hefty profit margin) all day long!
4. We are a great fit for brains of all types!
Our business combines various right-brained and left-brained
activities and appeals to both the 'creative' and 'logical'
personality types. Both men and women (and couples) thrive
equally in the V2K system.
5. No experience
required
We really do provide all the technical and design training
needed to build a successful franchise. Some of our most
successful franchises joined our system with little design
or computer experience. We have learned that the desire and
commitment to succeed is far more important than relevant
experience. Our motto at V2K is, "give a man a fish, and he
eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime." We've got a
lot of people eating a lot of fish out there...
6. No one offers more window treatment products than
we do
Since we work with all the major suppliers, we offer
practically any brand or style window treatment that a
consumer could want. Plus, we have an extensive private
label line of soft treatments. Additionally, our unique
software lets us create virtually any CUSTOM design
imaginable. In short, there's almost nothing we can't do!
7. A better back end
Our unique Decor Creator software not only provides a better buying
experience for our customers, it also provides a better order processing
experience for you. You can place an order with multiple
vendors electronically- all with the click of a button! While our competitors
are having to fill out orders manually from multiple vendors- potentially
spending hours per order- you are on to your next appointment!
8."Show me the money"
One of the first questions we get asked is, "How much
money can I make doing this?" This is a natural
question since income potential is one of the most important
criteria to help you decide which business opportunity to
pursue. Well, most franchises will give you a very
generic answer, but you're going to like how V2K answers
this question! We include actual tax-prepared income
statements in our Item 19 disclosure, so you can see for
yourself the income potential
that V2K offers.
9. A great fit for lots of lifestyles
At V2K, we understand that about the only thing people have
in common is that they're all different- they have different
goals, motivation levels, lifestyle preferences, etc. The
great thing about V2K is that we offer a system that works
well with a variety of lifestyles. Most of our franchisees
work this business as a full-time single operator business,
but others work it part time while they transition out of
other situations, others work it as a second income, some
work it with their spouse, and some operate out of a retail
storefront and have several employees. Whatever your
situation, V2K offers you the
flexibility to achieve your own unique goals.
10. We're heading in the right direction!
At V2K, we 'get it'. We understand the challenges in
today's economy and that people like you are looking for a positive
change in their lives toward a better economic future. In
everything we do, we try to facilitate our mission to
provide beautiful window treatments to our customers, and a
more rewarding lifestyle for our franchisees.
