| FRANCHISEE LEADS THE WAY - Jumping J-Jays launches new 3-day-a-week franchise model | ||
Jumping J-Jays Castles and Slides have taken notice of the franchisees that have operated the business slightly different to the original model and have achieved amazing results. For many years Jumping J-Jays has sold the business as a weekend business that supplements fulltime incomes … NOT ANY MORE. Jumping J-Jays now offers prospective franchisees a unique opportunity to access this exclusive home-based business with the NEW 3-day-a-week business model. Cameron and Janet Walker of the Burleigh Heads franchise in Queensland is just one of the franchisees that have initiated this progressive change. Cameron and Janet were both in full time employment when purchasing the franchise almost 2 years ago and they have now embraced a different approach with great success.
This decision provided Cameron with a lot more time with the kids during the week with one day set aside for Local Area Marketing and allowed Janet the time to enjoy quality time with the children on the weekends – and sometimes help Dad. As a result of this success, Jumping J-Jays are now looking for franchisees where the husband or male partner is looking for a change in their work life, and their wife or partner can maintain a full time income as they build the business. The investment level is now lower than ever and starts from as little as $49,000 for existing franchises with an amazing 20 themes. Click here for more information about Jumping J-Jays Franchising |
