Cody Party Centre Franchise Opportunity
JOIN the Cody Party Team, the growth leader in the retail and rental party supply industry.  We are opening Cody Party Centre Franchises across Canada. We have developed a system that reduces the largest barrier for anyone trying to enter the rental industry... capital. With our system you can open a new store with a manageable amount of caital. This includes inventory, leasehold, wedding rental inventory and office equipment. A new Cody Party Centre Franchisee is responsible for all of their own retail ordering from our preferred suppliers, and also benefit from substantial discounts built in due to our buying volume from our Cody Party Stores, A Perfect Party by Cody and CLICKCOSTUMES.COM. This will only increase as we grow each division and add more Cody Party Centres. The rental division is what requires capital and we are able to reduce that requirement by providing sub-rentals for all rental supplies at a reduced rate from our central store. A new owner can sub-rent from the central store until they feel comfortable enough that they have the capital and enough future business for that rental inventory investment. This inventory can also be re-rented to other stores or to the central store. As inventory is built up by the new Cody Party Centre Owner , the cost of sub-rentals will go down and the profits and cash flow will go up. The best part is that you get to have a great time while building a great business! Industry Overview Our business is driven by a universal love of parties and entertaining; the convenience of renting and not having to do the dishes; disposable products; strong and dramatic seasonal growth (witness the strength of Halloween and the growing demand for luau and Mardi Gras and outdoor wedding and parties) and the ongoing special events in our lives such as birthdays, weddings and showers. The Party rentals and sales industry is only about 15 years old. Many of the rental operators are family businesses and have been in the business for some time and operate out of a warehouse in an industrial part of town. Most do not have good inventory selection or good marketing programs. Almost all, do not carry retail because of their locations. They are basically old and tired companies. The retail sector has two types of operators: the large box discount, destination store type and the smaller retail outlets. The large box party stores suffer due to low volume, high rents, poor service, and low margins. Generally consumers are not prepared to travel for what is usually a relatively small purchase if the same service is provided by a smaller but closer, more friendly and fun Cody Party Store. The smaller stores struggle because they don't have brand recognition, are not able to effectively advertise, merchandise and purchase through volume discounts. They are also not diversified enough to increase revenue during the slower months.  Growth OpportunitiesWe strongly believe that having Cody Party Centre Owners in the stores creates one of our largest growth opportunities. Our stores are designed as a smaller more personal store which allows for constant communication with the customers which is not offered by larger stores. Having a chance to communicate with the customer, gives you a chance to develop a relationship and trust, which will result in the opportunity to sell more products and ensure that our customers have a great event. We want a customer that come in to celebrate a first birthday to return year after year until they are celebrating a Graduation or even a Wedding. Many of the rental customers are first time renters and want to be helped by a person with enthusiasm and care. The retail customers only visit when a special occasion arises and if we have a chance to develop a relationship with them, we know they will be back. Our state of the art web site is another great growth area and we are always working on ways to make it better. We have a full rental catalog with pictures, pricing, quotation worksheet and online ordering available. We have also introduced an online retail and costume inventory selection for purchases through a "store specific" web site. This will give you the opportunity to sell your product over the internet, throughout North America from your own store. Eighty percent of our customers view the site before making final purchase decisions. To date we are not aware of any other competitors web site that is comparable. Future growth opportunities also include, balloon deliveries and decorating, hall decoration, invitations, wedding favors, planning, and silk flower rentals. Potential Customers
