Franchise advantages
- LOW SET UP COST: To set up an OJO franchise is within the reach of most franchisees.
- STRONG CONSUMER DEMAND: During the past decade, the transition of sunglasses has moved from being mostly a pragmatic item (to prevent sun glare on our eyes), to a source of fashionable self-expression. Together with increased UV protective awareness and the fact that most people like to have a personal collection of 2 to 5 sunglasses to choose from on a daily basis, the sunglasses industry now has a very strong consumer demand. In many hot and sunny climates around the world, where summers are long and winters are short, sunglasses have become a “year round” business.
- PROFITABILITY: OJO’s success is predominantly due to its ability to combine quality and style at affordable prices for everyone, making the OJO brand accessible to everyone. Since the OJO gross profit margin is also very attractive, well organized, motivated and cooperative OJO franchisees usually enjoy above average net profits.
- PRICING: OJO Sunglasses has identified a niche enabling consumers to purchase high fashion quality sunglasses at prices which will always be lower than the mainstream brands. OJO will always be perceived to be the “Fashionable yet Best Quality” priced sunglasses chain in every market that it enters.
- SIMPLE BUSINESS TO MANAGE: Managing an OJO sunglasses business is allot easier than most franchised retail businesses, which involve complicated and time consuming preparation, expensive storage conditions and a large staff to operate. At OJO sunglasses, stocks and daily business revenues are easily controlled and managed using state of the art “cloud technology”. The ordering process is almost 100% automated and the supply of new products and all other inventory requirements such as accessories and branded packaging, arrives from OJO’s central European warehouse in Cyprus. Our training is well organized and made simple for our franchisees and our marketing department is always at the disposal of our franchisees at all times.
- VERY LITTLE REGULATION: Since sunglasses are a fashion accessory, which does not require optical eye testing on the customer, anyone can become an OJO franchisee. Due to few municipal by laws and business license requirements, the launching of an OJO Sunglasses retail business, is quick and easy.
