| CONTOURS FORGES AHEAD WITH WOMEN AT THE HELM |
With females making up an amazing 90% of its franchisees, Contours is a franchise that has attained a huge female following and goes against the trend in Australia that has seen a decline in the number of female franchisees. Although they don’t specifically recruit female franchisees, Contours definitely attracts them! Owning a Contours franchise is highly suitable to the female lifestyle, with a staggering 70 % of franchisees mothers. The reasons behind this trend are more than likely Contours’ reasonable start up cost, the high level of corporate support provided and the family friendly work hours. The typical Contours franchisee is a female aged between 30 and 50, fitting the same profile as the typical Contours member. Many have experienced their own weight-loss struggles, allowing them to encourage and relate to their members while providing a supportive, comfortable exercise environment. According to Contours’ Business Development Manager Simone Harris, “Women are attracted to Contours because their purchase gives them more than just a brand name, the Contours corporate team supports us every step of the way giving us the tools we need to ensure our studio is successful. ” “Many franchisees have themselves lost weight with Contours, so they know that it works, this means their encouragement and support of their members is genuine,” says Simone. “One of the key comments we receive from successful members is that they couldn’t have done it without the encouragement and support of studio staff. This keeps clients pouring through the doors while also inspiring similar Australian women to take on their own studios,” she said. Contours offers a user friendly business model and extensive studio support, aspects that Simone sees as key in its appeal to women. “Relationships with all suppliers have been previously set up for women when they purchase a studio; this allows us the time to focus on serving the members rather than worrying about how to keep our business running smoothly,” she said. Franchising has helped Contours grow rapidly in Australia by attracting passionate individuals who want to build their own business and make a difference in the lives of their members. By providing a system, framework and standard marketing messages, Contours have helped their members achieve their fitness goals and built a strong, consistent national brand. Contours is not only one of Australia’s largest and most successful fitness chains but also one of Australia’s fastest growing franchise models. At just 30 years of age, Simone Harris is not only Business Development Manager for Contours she is also the owner of four Contours franchises across Western Sydney. Simone stared working for Contours in January 2005; six months later she was the owner of her first Contours studio. She and her partners run franchises in Emu Plains, Penrith, Erskine Park and Mount Annan. Simone’s advice to other female entrepreneurs: “Take a chance, don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and always trust your instincts.”

McLeod’s Daughters star Simmone Jade Mackinnon presents Lifetime Distributors cheque to Tierney Jasper
Tierney Jasper is a remarkable young lady and last year hit the headlines in her determined pursuit to raise funds for her local Ronald MacDonald House. Her charity walkathon of 60 kilometres helped raise nearly $ 5000. This year her efforts are centred on Make a Wish Australia that great charity who grants wishes for children with life threatening illnesses. To kick start her campaign Lifetime Distributors donated a cheque for $ 5000 which was presented by McLeod’s Daughter star Simmone Jade Mackinnon, Karl Stefanovic, and Scott Cam at an event in Melbourne recently. “The company is a long time supporter of Make-A-Wish and we felt it was important to give this young lady a great start to her fund raising efforts. Lifetime Distributors have supported Make-A-Wish for over 18 months now and have become closely associated with the charity across a number of levels and we proud to support Tierney in her endeavours. Thanks also to Simmone Mackinnon and the rest of the Random Acts of Kindness team for presenting our cheque says Kevin Lagden Lifetime General Manager”. The presentation filmed for Channel 9’s Random Act of Kindness programme will air Sunday 14th June at 6.30PM Lifetime Distributors creates the convenience of shopping in the workplace to over 45,000 businesses throughout Australia and New Zealand and to date has donated well over $1million back into local communities.

NEW FRANCHISE BRAND COMING Jumping J-Jays set to launch a new franchise brand in Australia. Veteran birthday party franchise group Jumping J-Jays is set to launch an exciting new franchise brand in Australia and in the USA. Under development in a veil of silence for the past 12 months, the company will soon be releasing a new franchise concept that has never been developed into a backyard party franchise anywhere in the world. After a year of development from sourcing manufacturers in China to the online web interface, the founder of Jumping J-Jays John Newton is set to start testing the business model throughout Australia and the United States this year. Jumping J-Jays who were the first franchise concept for jumping castles now services over 142 franchise locations with revenue exceeding 5 million dollars within the inflatable backyard party industry in Australia and Texas in the United States. With such experience and success in the birthday party market, this amazing new concept will continue to share similar flavours and target the child birthday market on a completely new level. “The new brand being released into the market place is focused on getting franchisees a share of an estimated $500 million dollar industry (2008)” “The local franchise owners will run their core business from home using the tools of their national marketing office and centralised booking centre. The potential franchise owners to be targeted will be woman and families that want to run this business in just 2 days a week and never have to answer a phone call from a customer.” says John Newton Click here for more information about Jumping J Jays Franchising Opportunities |
