DO
YOU WANT TO BE YOUR OWN BOSS?
ARE
YOU FED UP HAVING NO TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY?
Hi I'm Simon Rickett the driving force behind UK Websaver.
Think about this for a second…… |
Claire operated an area in Leicester at the end of 2006, prior to us launching as a franchise, as we wanted to ensure the business model could be replicated, like we had seen previously. We had hoped Claire would continue with her franchise in Leicester, however so impressed with Claire's developments with Leicester last year, she joined our team and is now responsible for recruiting franchisees across the UK. We wanted someone who had a real life understanding of how the business model worked and to pass on this knowledge and experience to any potential franchisee who was looking at our opportunity. |
 |
Another of our major success stories last year was the development of the Nuneaton and Bedworth area. Jo who was responsible for developing this area, has also now joined us and will provide further training to franchisees on a 1 to 1 basis. Jo operated our model and succeeded and if you decide to take advantage of her 1 to 1 training she will visit you in your territory to assist you in making your area a success. |
 |
Another success story over the last few months is Neil who operated the franchise in Dundee. He only operated the franchise for a short while and we were so impressed with what he did in such a short period of time that we have set him up in America to operate USA Websaver when it is launched later this year. |
To develop the franchise model we have had to ensure UK Websaver can be operated from home and is built upon the basis of why many of you are looking at setting up your own business.
We understand the importance of working from home, having the flexibility to work when you want, generate a good level of income and most importantly have time to spend with the most important factor in life, your family. We have put together a complete package to ensure you can make your business a success and ensure your family life benefits. We have operated this model across the UK and have seen fantastic results, and now we want to share that with you!
We pride ourselves on the excellent level of support we offer and we invest a lot of resources into our training program to ensure that all our franchisees have the best possible knowledge to operate a UK Websaver franchise.
Our business model has been tried and tested, all you have to do is follow it!!

The Business Model
When setting up the franchise model we needed to ensure that we did something which covered the following factors to ensure success and to meet the requirements for working from home:
•Factor 1 – Huge Demand
The product had to have huge demand and provide a service that was needed.
From the evidence we have to date we can safely say it has.
Who wouldn’t want to save money in their local community?
Anyone in their right mind wants to save money especially if local loyalty is only £4.99; therefore this business focuses directly on every person in your area.
What businesses do you know who wouldn’t want to increase their local customer base?
With constant threat from National Counterparts, economic downturn and high street closure, businesses more than ever need to be involved in this sort of operation to ensure their business succeeds in their local area.
You will see that almost every business in your area will want to offer your local community some sort of saving, reward or offer.
And finally how many community causes do you know that don’t want to receive donations?
Community and charitable causes are constantly on the look out for donations and what better way than to provide them with this through the sale of loyalty cards in your area.
This really is a community opportunity that everyone will want to be part of.
• Factor 2 – Low Maintenance
In order to maximize your working day we have had to ensure the majority of your time is out in your community selling cards and speaking to local businesses. To allow you do this we have designed an operating system that is low maintenance and easy to mange.
We have ensured franchisees from what ever background can operate the business with little ongoing maintenance. You don’t need to spend all day updating a website or changing content, like so many other similar opportunities. Your focus is entirely on developing your business.
You don’t even need to spend all day on the phone calling businesses as we provide you with the necessary material you need to inform businesses all about UK Websaver and how it works.
Even local people who buy a card in your area, are informed of all the latest savings and latest community news through a monthly newsletter that Head Office sends out.
A new feature for 2008 is the community feature. The community feature is there for local franchisees to actually add themselves the community causes they are supporting. This really is a great new feature for 2008 as it allows you to promote what is going on in your local community. Again this is easy to use and requires very little of your time.
You need to be out there in your community to make this work for you therefore we have provided you with all the tools that allow you to do this. This ensures that all your time is spent out there in your community and making money through selling cards and attracting local businesses to join our UK Websaver community.
• Factor 3 - Limited Stock
Working from home will mean space is tight, we know we’ve all been there! We don’t want you to have stock all over the place. UK Websaver is perfect in this respect...
The local loyalty cards are the size of a key ring, so you can fit 1000's in one plastic bag. The only other stock you require is your marketing and point of sale material which can actually fit in the boot of your car! In fact that is a great place to have it as when you are going round your local community you want to be able to show people in your community exactly what UK Websaver is all about there and then.
This is all the stock you need.
• Factor 4 - No Employees
This opportunity is for one person per area.
You can grow your business and recruit staff as you need them but this opportunity is designed just for you to run and make a GOOD LIVING from.
This will be your business; you will have the drive and commitment needed to make it a success. You will be a local person doing something for the better of your community; therefore you will start to take great pride in what you are doing. There is no need to employ staff at the start as no matter how good they are they will never have the same commitment and drive as you to make this a success.
• Factor 5 - Residual Income
The whole point of operating any business is that after the first year's hard work you start to see the benefits of residual income from the business that you are operating. The beauty of UK Websaver is that because there are two revenue streams, you will start to see revenue from local people renewing their card each year as they continue to save money in their area as well as supporting local community causes, and local businesses renew year in year out as they see an increased number of local customers.
After year one you will be provided with the following residual income:
From businesses - 100% of all revenue - therefore if you charge the business £299 to be part of UK Websaver you will keep £299
From local loyalty card - £3.91 from all cards that are renewed in your area
As long as you have good savings, offers and rewards for your local community, market your area through supporting local community causes and follow our 4 stage business plan your renewal rates will be high.
Ask yourself this, would you renew your card if you had saved money with local businesses in your area and supported local community causes throughout the year?
YES / NO
Hopefully you answered YES, why wouldn’t you? So will other local people in your area.
Would a business renew their offer, saving and reward with you?
YES / NO
Of course they would, providing they have seen an increase in customers, and what better way to track the success of their offer, for their local community other than by a local person showing them their UK Websaver local loyalty card every time they bought their goods our used their service.
Businesses are renowned for not tracking their advertising and promotions but with UK Websaver you are giving them a tool that allows them to do this all the time.
• Factor 6 – Respect
You gain the respect you have always wanted as this fantastic product quickly becomes an invaluable service for the whole of your local community. You will be benefiting:
- Local people as they can save money
- Local businesses as they will start to see an increase in local people using their business
- Local community causes as you will be donating money to support their needs.
You really will be a local person working for the good of all. Local people will really start to appreciate what you are doing and you will take a great deal of pride in what you are doing and achieving. What’s more you will be working for yourself, when you want, allowing you the time to develop your business at a time that suits you. This therefore allows you the time to focus on your family when YOU decide.
• Factor 7 – Low Cost
The start up cost is very small with a very low monthly management fee of £175 that doesn’t begin until the start of the 3rd month, giving you plenty of time to develop your area. The majority of franchises will start charging you immediately.
Why have we done this?
The reason being is that for the first 8 weeks of your franchise you need to be out in your area talking to local businesses to take part in this community initiative. At this early stage in your business you will not be able to charge the businesses for joining UK Websaver as there will be no members in your area. However after 8 weeks, you should have enough businesses on board to start selling cards in your area.
Once you have 50 businesses on board per 60,000 population you are operating you will be able to start to sell the local loyalty card, we aim for you to have achieved this by the end of the third month, that is why we don't start charging you a monthly management fee, till you are well on the way to making your business a success.
• Factor 8 - £18,962 Worth of Revenue
You will receive 2800 local loyalty cards per 60,000 population you are operating. That is an astonishing amount of stock, which has a retail value of £13,972, which you are responsible for selling once you have local businesses on board.
As you develop your franchise and reach a specific stage you will also receive a FURTHER 1000 cards, which are known as your community cards, which have a retail value of £4,990. These are the cards you will use to donate money from to local community causes, each time you sell one of these cards you will give an agreed percentage to the local community charity cause you are supporting.
You will only receive these cards once you have local businesses on board all offering savings and discounts to local people in your area.
• Factor 9 - No Knowledge Required
UK Websaver is such a simple concept to operate, there are no hidden catches, or even skills required. If you are confident and a sociable person and can talk to people in your community you have everything you need to make UK Websaver a success in your area. After all, all you will be doing is explaining what you have read so far to local people in your area.
The only skills you need to be able to do is operate a computer and send emails, if you can do that and have the commitment to succeed you can make UK Websaver a success in your local community.
All you require is a computer, with internet access, and preferably a printer. If you’ve got all that then you have all you need to start operating UK Websaver in your area.
• How it works
- You sign businesses up to offer a saving or discount to local people in your area
- Sell loyalty cards to local people in your area who can then take advantage of the savings
- Donate money from your community cards you sell to local worthwhile causes
- Inform your community about the community causes you are supporting
- Start to charge businesses for being part of UK Websaver as your local area increase with local people using the card
It is that simple and is why UK Websaver was rated
when
it was assessed by an independent due diligence company with over 14 years
experience of assessing business opportunities and franchises:
This product is superior to any other local business opportunities available. Don’t take our word for it:
The
Best Of was rated - 3 out of 10
About My Area was rated - 5
out of 10
City Local was rated - 5
out of 10
The key for us as a franchise company is to ensure that not only do we provide you with a fantastic product to operate but you have a support system that is second to none. We pride ourselves on the support we offer, butdon’t just take our word on it, here is what our franchisees are saying:
 |
We
have been looking for some form of employment where we could work
together as a team for some time. Having looked at running a shop
and finding it hard to find a 'new' idea to sell we looked at franchises. |

Our training day on Tuesday was excellent and Steve and I will both be there on 31st (hopefully on time!) for our next session. Everything is going well and head office are always there to lend a helping hand when needed! Angela Fisher - Uxbridge |

The information provided so far has been excellent and the whole set up is extremely professional. This is exactly what I thought a Franchise should be and I look forward to becoming successful together and a much valued member of the UK Websaver ‘family’. Training
is excellent and for the level of investment for a UK Websaver franchise
the ongoing support is second to none, I should know having been
involved in other franchises in the past. |

So Why Is It So Successful?
We live in a society where saving money is key to everyone’s life. By offering you local community something that achieves this, then you really are going to be on to a winner. Local businesses are constantly offering incentives to increase their customer base, i.e. save 10% here, 2 for 1, etc. You only have to look at your local paper each week to see the offers that businesses offer. As businesses are constantly under threat from National counterparts, economic downturn and high street closures to name a few, they need to be offering these incentives more than ever to ensure local people continue to use their business.
The psychology of attracting consumers to buy can be manipulated by offering unique incentives through the use of offers. The January sales are a prime example of this in action, as are all the offers that you will see daily. Making the customer think that they are saving money will increase customer bases. It is human nature to find the cheapest price for the same product. It is human nature to want to save money. The first reason why UK Websaver has been so successful is because it has taken advantage of this sociological drive that affects almost every one in society, the desire to save money!!!
The second reason why it has been so successful is because it has placed its offers on the internet, but not relied on online marketing for its success. All marketing for UK Websaver has been done offline through the sale of local loyalty cards, and via posters that are put around local communities. Having the offers online gives local businesses an online presence. However ensuring all marketing is done off line hits a massive gap in the market. What do we mean…….? How many major websites have started advertising offline of late? You only have to watch T.V and see the next commercial advertising a website. These major internet businesses understand that it is important to gain an offline presence as well as an online presence. This is essentially what UK Websaver has done, as the website address is on every offline marketing material produced, i.e. loyalty cards and posters. Have a look at this:
* 65 % of businesses spending money on online marketing
* 54% of businesses spending money on offline marketing
* (Source Financial Times 2006)
Over
recent years the trend has been for businesses to spend more on online
marketing, thus seeing a boom in companies offering online advertising
in the form of websites. In this hugely competitive market each company
has to spend £1000’s each month on search engine optimisation
to ensure they are found at the top of major search engines. What UK Websaver
has done is fulfilled both the online and offline market for businesses,
although we do have a commitment to ensuring businesses are found on our
website through searches carried out on the internet, we have found that
our offline marketing has been a major factor in our success.
The
website is purely a brochure of savings and discounts in your local community.
If we had to worry about the cost of producing a booklet each month that
promoted these savings and discounts the cost of production would have
a massive impact on everyone's profits, this is something we have overcome
by putting all the offers on one website that all local people can see.
Supporting local community causes is something we will never escape. Charities and community causes constantly need to raise money, for the good of what they are supporting. Many of these causes are close to local peoples hearts. How many times do you get asked to donate some money to support a local child or a local project? UK Websaver is now here to assist with this, as we provide donations from the sale of loyalty cards in anyone area. This will result in businesses wanting to offer more attractive discounts, not just to increase their customers, but for the good of their community, as the more people who buy a card the more donations these causes will receive.
UK WEBSAVER SUPPORTS ALL ASPECTS OF COMMUNITY LIFE
SAVE £££’s not points in your local community
Finally what makes this business model so successful is that it focuses on two revenue streams. You can choose which one suits your personality best and how you want to earn your money. The easiest option is simply to sell loyalty cards once you have offers on in your area. Once you have a set number of cards in your area, and you have gained a local presence you can start charging businesses to promote their offer.
