Written by: Candice Clem

If taking a home business on the road is something you’re interested in, take a look at the following mobile franchise opportunities.

Get Up And Go With These Mobile Small Business Opportunities

Every day, people open up their own home based businesses, in part because of the great convenience working at home provides. But for some home business owners, it’s not long before they begin to long for more reasons to get out of the house. What they may not know is that owning a home based business does not restrict them to working from a home computer all the time. Mobile franchises allow you to work from home but also involve a good deal of on-site business done from the back of a company car, truck, or van as well, which gives the business owner a chance to get out on a regular basis. If taking a home business on the road is something you’re interested in, take a look at the following mobile franchise opportunities.

AGR Diamond Tools USA

Franchisees with this business take care of clients within a certain territory, ensuring that they are constantly stocked with the best diamond tools in the US. The vast majority of all the business responsibilities are making stock deliveries to local clients, giving superior service, and maintaining good relations with all clientele.

Sparkle Wash

Another good opportunity, this is the world’s leading power wash company. With an unrivalled degree of versatility and cleaning power, this company’s services can easily provide a franchisee with a steady income and plenty of room for future expansion.

FiltaFry

You may not have heard of this type of business before, and it’s one that most consumers don’t know exists, but cleaning a restaurant’s deep fryer and filtering out its oil is a profitable business. Equipped with everything in the back of the company van, franchisees make business deals with well known restaurant companies like Applebee’s, Dunkin Donuts, and Johnny Rockets to regularly clean their equipment. Best of all, further business is not hard to find because potential clients already know that fryer cleaning services reduce wear on the machine, prolong oil life, and reduce health risks for customers and staff alike.

Monthly Coupons

Statistics indicate that 22.9mil local businesses are looking for ways to bring new customers through their doors, and this franchisor knows the secret to helping them make that happen: coupons. By designing a monthly book of local coupons and mailing it to residents in a given region, client businesses get increased traffic and sales. The franchise owner’s responsibility is to build relationships with regional businesses who will pay to put their coupons in the book. Aside from that, the franchisor takes care of all production and mailing. It’s that easy.

Maid to Perfection

Unlike the average cleaning franchise, in-home maid service is just the beginning with this work from home business. They call it the "cross-market service concept": the idea that adding a variety of different services designed for different types of clients is good for business. It makes a lot of sense; if you provide maid service, carpet cleaning, and janitor services, your client base expands dramatically. Depending on what level of commitment a franchisee is willing to make, there is room to grow and manage your business with clients ranging all the way from homeowners to office managers, and with the white-glove service provided in all cases, any client will be happy with the work.

Doody Calls

Since 2000, this business has been scooping dog doo all over the US. It may be a thankless job, but for one, someone has to do it, and for two, it pays handsomely. As the manager of this franchise, the franchisee oversees daily operations, finds more residential homes and apartment complexes to service, and makes sure that his teams are keeping to their routes and delivering the best service they can to existing clients. What makes this business so successful is that it addresses the epitome of recurring needs: pet waste. This means that business never ends.

NOVUS Glass

When a car windshield or window is chipped, cracked, or damaged, there are very few businesses you can call to come handle it for you on-site, and NOVUS Glass is one of the best. One of the most recognizable names in the auto glass industry, NOVUS Glass gives franchisees what few businesses can: instant recognition, anywhere, as well as the potential to expand beyond glass. If a franchisee sees fit, there are options to grow into a mobile franchise that also provides scratch removal, spray-in bed liners, headlamp service, window tinting, and a variety of other services, as well as all the training and support to make the most of whatever business the franchisee ends up creating.

There are plenty of mobile business opportunities to choose from, depending on what kind of business would excite you the most. Whatever your choice, you can be sure that running your own home based business does not mean you have to spend all your time in your home office if you don’t want to. So select your mobile franchise, get behind the wheel, and get out into the world with your own home business.

Re: The Mobile Marketing - Mobile Marketing involves communicating with the consumer via cellular (or mobile) device, either to send a simple marketing message, to introduce them to a new audience participation-based campaign or to allow them to visit a mobile website. Some of the tools of the trade and a few of the concepts that will be featured in this Mobile Marketing 101 series are: Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS) Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) Bluetooth, Wireless and Infrared Mobile Internet and Social Media Mobile Applications Mobile connectivity not only enables people to connect to the Internet via a cellular telephone, PDA or other gadget, but also consolidates the different communication channels in a simple, yet effective, medium. Cheaper than traditional means for both the consumer and the marketer - and easy enough for almost any age group to understand and engage with - Mobile Marketing really is a streamlined version of traditional eMarketing.
