Cutting Edge Franchises For The Business Savvy Techie

Cutting Edge Franchises For The Business Savvy Techie

Some industries and businesses are as old as time, like stonemasonry, which has literally been around since before humans started keeping record of time. These kinds of business are old, faithful, and constant sources of work for innumerable people around the globe, but not everyone is enthused by the idea of doing what billions of people have done before them. Some people want to be perched right on the cusp of the newest and brightest technologies and business trends, doing what few have done before them, and for such entrepreneurs, here are 6 businesses in cutting edge industries that the business savvy techie can benefit from.

Newly introduced to the United States after a successful start in Europe, DVD rental kiosk businesses are already off to a solid start. For the franchisee interested in a small business model that will allow him to work only when he wants, while still turning an adequate profit, DVDNow is one of the premier DVD vending franchises available. It affords people the opportunity to quickly and cheaply rent a movie for the evening as they leave the grocery store or wherever they happen to be. Using new vending technology to serve America’s love of entertainment and convenience simultaneously, this new way to rent is just beginning to gain popularity and is poised to continue to grow.

The business of movies, however, goes far beyond Hollywood blockbusters. There are two great business opportunities in the ever-advancing field of filmmaking. Flicko’s is a franchise business perfect for any techie with a taste for film equipment and a mind for all the stages of movie production. Whether it is a consumer project that needs editing or a client who needs a videographer for a week, any and all video needs can be accommodated by the Flicko’s franchise owner. And for more of the small-scale, consumer picture-montage and video-compilation projects, a franchisee with The Photo Archival Company has things covered. This home based business is one of the best when it comes time to convert all those old family photos and home movies to DVD or other digital file. Franchisees with this company are trained in a host of common video practices ranging from film editing and production to simple VHS-to-DVD copying, and the relatively small initial investment covers training, hardware, software, startup inventory, and everything else a successful franchise needs. The film and digital media industry is always growing, and anyone with the drive to make a living from it should consider these two franchise opportunities.

When discussing the cutting edge of the digital revolution, it would be foolish to ignore the monstrous video game industry. And for the first time, there is a franchise business that is getting in on the action of this huge market. That computer franchise is Digital Interactive Systems, the industry’s leader in game-loading technology. Their three patented systems, which are key to easy installation and quick game-play, are at use in millions of computer consoles around the world, so the name is highly recognizable in the industry, but it’s the award winning Phoenix e-commerce system that produces franchisee revenues by providing the easiest possible access to thousands of games, consoles, and peripherals through a custom-made online portal. Owners of this franchise opportunity work from home and sell video game gear for a living: a great combo for any techie businessman.

In another corner of the internet, eSpider Squad is raking in profit by providing web design, internet marketing, and search engine optimization to smaller firms who do not have the manpower to do it all for themselves. As a franchisee, you serve as the tech-savvy link between the clients that you find and establish relationships with and the skilled men and women at eSpider Squad who have the web knowhow to perform those tasks. As such, you don’t even have to know how to perform all those web-based business services yourself; though, the more you do know in this advanced work at home business, the better off you will be.

What list of technologically advanced business opportunities would be complete without surveillance equipment? MonitorClosely.com franchisees are riding the front of the wave in the newest developments in the industry, not only selling some of the most versatile digital video equipment, but also giving clients online access to live and recorded CCTV. This is a major selling point because it gives residents of apartment buildings, parents of kids in day care centers, and owners of businesses 24/7 visual access to their most prized possessions, to ensure their safety. The franchisee may be a salesperson, but these days, a strong security product practically sells itself.

There are certainly innumerable other businesses that would put their owners right on the forefront of various aspects of technological revolution, because even though the old, faithful industries like stonemasonry and woodwork aren’t going to disappear any time soon, there is always great economic power in progress. And for the entrepreneur whose interest is in technology, that is a great thing.

Leanne Hoagland-Smith
Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?"
