TESTIMONIALS
Candy Bouquet Franchise Opportunity
Franchise Testimonials
"It’s hard to believe that in 2010 we will celebrate our 5th anniversary as Candy Bouquet owners! It really was a relatively short time ago when we had absolutely no idea of how to get started in business, much less run a successful one. Yet here we are today with Chamber of Commerce Business awards and Candy Bouquet Corporate awards as tokens of our achievements thus far. And how could we not? After all, we offer a great and unique product for everyone!
We aim to please and truly believe that, because of our commitment to customer service coupled with offering exclusive, top of the line private label candies, we are on the top of many people’s lists. We feel the excitement and joy from all of our clients, from large corporate venues to single special occasion gifts. There is definitely a market for our bouquets and products.
The greatest part of our story was how easy, straight forward, and uncomplicated our corporate head quarters made it for us. They guided us through all the steps along the way to operate our business. They provide all of our needed logo and marketing materials, and because you can choose how to grow your business, everything is completely up to you!
There’s no secret. Get involved with the community. Get involved with the chamber of commerce. Get to know your clients. Get to know Candy Bouquet!"
"I decided to come back to Candy Bouquet because chocolate and happiness is in my blood! I owned a successful franchise for 3 years in NC, and I absolutely loved my business. When my husband got relocated we had to close. I took a job with an airline and realized how much I missed seeing smiling faces everyday. When people received my beautiful bouquets, they are never upset or grumbling like they do when they fly.
Well, I decided to purchase another franchise here in Florida and already my attitude alone has changed! We should be opening in January and even in this economy, people can afford to send gifts that are reasonably priced. The fact that the people who purchase my bouquets cover every age, gender, occasion makes it successful alone. Candy Bouquet is not just for woman or just for children. Candy encompasses everyone. Who doesn't like a piece of candy or a pretty bouquet? The kick in the pants is, as a home based business, I will make more then working for an airline. I am so happy to be back!"
"As a long time franchisee, I would like to say that there is no business like this one. You can be home based or store front and there are no royalties. Even the man who is the owner and founder of Subway bought a franchise, I think that is quite a testament in itself.
With Candy Bouquet, you have a lot of freedom to carry other products if you wish. The Candy Bouquet Distributions Center is always there to help and I have never had an order that wasn’t filled properly. They are a wonderful company to work with. The company is sound with no debt and female owned.
I enjoy what I do and make money doing it the way that I want to!"
"As a franchisee, with many years experience in private business and as an independent business owner I am pleased to discuss what CBI is not doing for us.
They are not giving us voice mail when we call. We get a live person!
Whenever I call for information, I am never told they will get back to me. The entire staff is always available to answer my question with a smile. I can access the CBI Franchise Center and get answers to questions from other franchisees, too.
They are not interfering with the operation of my business, unless I ask for help. We have no royalties and a system that we grow, as individual franchisees.
They are not doing away with my creativity in anyway, but constantly stimulating it with new ideas.
They are not making promises to me that they cannot keep. They have exceeded my expectations in every way.
What they are, is an incredibly hard working and dedicated group of people. They are committed to our success! I know for me, things don't always go as quickly or as smoothly as I would like, But it is comforting to know that there is such a dedicated team behind us all.
CBI headquarters is listening, evaluating and so totally committed to the health and prosperity of our system. That is what is truly a unique business plan.
Thank you! Thank you,! Thank you! You are an incredible staff at CBI and keep not doing things for us!"
"I am astonished at how the business has been. Our town is such a small town in the middle of nowhere, but has very limited gift options. We are over an hour away from any sort of shopping center, so when I found Candy Bouquet, I knew it would do well. I just did not know how well! After talking to my husband about it, I realized that we have grown almost too quickly. From day one, we have rocked and rolled. The only break we had was in the first half of January, but then Valentine pre-orders started coming in. After the 14th, we were sitting right at $7,000.00 for the month...insane for a store no bigger than 600 square feet! It was like that at Christmas, too. Because of low inventory, we actually closed the store for this week. We sold every bouquet we had on our shelves, all the fudge Eric could send us, plus the "extra" inventory I order from CB just before Valentine's Day.
Janet asked me what I thought the secret to our success was and I am not really sure- honestly, I think it is because I am the face of the store. I am there from open to close every day. I work hard to please each and every client who walks through the door whether they spend $5.00 or $100.00. We have a ridiculous profit margin. Our bouquet markup is 453%. We cannot keep Ganache Sundae Cups on the shelf and they sell for $35.99. We set up a "Ganache Bar" in the front of our store with 12 of the flavors beautifully displayed on plate racks. I bought truffle boxes which are big enough to hold (4) and priced them at $4.99 per box...I cannot keep enough. Those truffles will sell all day long for $1.25 a piece! It is the craziest thing I have ever seen."
