It’s a market full of mom-and-pop operators or other services (landscapers, mowers, event companies) that offer lighting as a secondary service — they aren’t primarily lighting companies. In addition to an ocean of opportunity, Blingle! has several advantages in its field of unsophisticated or non-specialized competitors. Blingle! uses technology and design expertise to transform any space, from a front walk or patio to a business or event center. Our competitors do not have the cutting-edge technology Blingle! owners use to connect with customers. Since Blingle! has the advantage of massive inventory and design expertise, we are seeing businesses that could be competitors become partners. They may primarily offer landscaping, but we can get the lighting products and do that part of the job better, creating a partnership., sidekick_commission_1=28000, community_impact=National program with Make a Wish.

Frustrated by the lack of accountability by franchisors to open and support franchisees the duo wanted to create a platform focused on operational excellence and accountability. Accountability starts with ownership and that’s why we own at minimum a controlling interest in all the brands our ownership group attaches their names too. All steps of selling a franchise opportunity and supporting franchise owners is handled under one roof by our staff. We have developed detailed and transparent franchise development strategies that allow us to responsibly award our franchise opportunities to the right people. More importantly we open all the franchise territories we award and have experienced operations teams to ensure our franchisees achieve their financial goals through business ownership., year_started_franchising=2022, sks_locations_represented_in_item_19=1, sks_years_franchising=1, units_awarded_last_12_months=8, contact_phone=402-214-1406, page_title=Blingle!, approximate_break_even_time_frame=N/A, main_background=https://commandcenter.franchisesidekick.com/brand_image/2984875338/main_background?variant=large, customer_acquisition=[Call Center, Door to Door Sales, Digital, Referral / Relationship, Sales, Reputation Management, Customer Financing, National Accounts, Recurring Revenue], fdd_upload=https://api-na1.hubspot.com/form-integrations/v1/uploaded-files/signed-url-redirect/88703743255?portalId=21052030&sign=tBlZgOwGHz_7NQIK2LHMzh-ImTU%3D&conversionId=4f228048-d08f-4991-9740-cea8e824b620&filename=4f228048-d08f-4991-9740-cea8e824b620-2-7178165/fdd_upload-Blingle-FDD-Issued-4.21.22-(as-amended-9.12.22)-(updated-10.10.22).pdf, hs_object_source_id=userId:6337553, services_image_bottom_small=https://commandcenter.franchisesidekick.com/brand_image/2984875338/services_image_small_2, brand_fund=N/A, sales_contact_first_name=Aaron, update_state_registrations_link=https://www.franchisesidekick.com/update-state-registration?brand_name=Blingle!, functions_of_owner_operator=• Driving Sales • Business Development of Corporate Accounts • Tracking & Influencing KPI’s • Evaluate Job Sites for Quality • Customer Service • Financials & Forecasting, sidekick_commission_10=137800, contact_first_name=Amy, staffing_requirements_image=https://21052030.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/21052030/form-uploads/5ebf2af6-c2d4-42d4-822d-8da275584d7f/b13dd933-4ffb-4924-aab6-881f001c7c91-2-7178165staffing_requirements_image-DMP-HP0017-3600x2400-8f0a250.jpg, ideal_candidate=Desire to scale / multi-unit ownership;Relationship Builder;No Industry Experience Required;Values Outstanding Customer Service;Community Centric;Sales or Management Experience, competitive_advantage_10=Environmentally conscious, unique_name=Blingle!, major_competitors=There are no major national competitors for Blingle.
