Mark crosses £1m in sales and joins the High Flyer’s Club

2 min read

Congratulations to franchisee Mark Ashton, who’s just crossed £1m in sales!

Creating over £1m in sales in a new business is a fantastic milestone to hit. And, while our role is to support franchisees to succeed; with training, mentorship, marketing, sales and admin help, nothing would happen without their hard work.

That’s why we love to celebrate milestones like these, with public acknowledgment of the effort and endeavour that’s created the success.

Customer’s clearly love him too, with 5 star reviews like these on Trustpilot.

So helpful – he has bent over backwards to help us as much as he can (I’ve changed my booking 3 times🙈) always 10/10 service will definitely be a returning customer!!

Claire, Mark’s customer

Great experience using Mark Ashton. Absolutely recommended and we will use him again!

Denise, Mark’s customer

So it’s a huge “Well Done” to Mark! Not only has he turned his initial investment into a cash-generating machine, he’s also building a long-term financial asset for the future.

Choose to thrive, not just survive in business

According to research from CBInsights, 42% of startup businesses fail because there’s no market need for their services or products.

Buying any kind of franchise is a proven way to de-risk starting your own thing, because the business model, pricing and operations are already shown to work.

And travel is one of the most in-demand service businesses you can run.

New research from ABTA shows that:

  • Almost two-thirds (64%) of families with children under 16, say the limited opportunities to travel due to the pandemic have made their holidays more important to them than before.
  • At the same time, families are increasingly keen to use a travel agent.
  • People with children under 16 are 50% more likely to book with a travel professional now than before the pandemic.
  • This is primarily for the security of a package holiday (43%), followed by guidance with travel requirements (35%).

A travel agency is fantastic for repeat customers

That’s because, unlike some businesses, you aren’t starting from scratch every month with a travel agency. The right customers are loyal and come back year after year for their holiday needs (as well as referring you to others).
