4 Numbers Showing Molly Maid's Resistance to Recession

Many people are scared away from starting a franchise because of concerns over the economy. These are certainly legitimate concerns, especially related to sources of financing and the ability to grow a customer base. However, not all businesses are affected by the economy and some manage to thrive despite the economy. Here are 4 numbers that show Molly Maid franchisees are resistant to the recession:

1. $3.5 Million: System-wide sales for week 46
2. 10.5%: Increase in sales over same week last year
3. 150,000: Total web contracts delivered to franchisees year-to-date
4. 42%: Increase in web contracts over last year

In addition to these amazing results, Molly Maid franchisees also enjoyed the highest sales for a Thanksgiving week and the second highest sales for any week in the history of the franchise!

It is important to note that Molly Maid franchisees do NOT clean homes. This is an executive franchise where franchisees are responsible for marketing, sales, and managing the team of employees who do the cleaning. Molly Maid franchisees enjoy the recurring revenue stream achieved through repeat customers. Visit our Molly Maid site and contact Meta-Franchise Consulting for more information about joining this successful group of business owners.

Molly Maid Earns "Extreme" Recognition

The following is text from an email that Meta-Franchise Consulting received from one of our most popular Franchisors, Molly Maid.

"Blake Mullins, a producer for ABC-TV's top-rated reality series, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, recently found himself without a post-construction cleaning crew and only a few hours before the homeowners were to arrive for the family walk through.

Blake later revealed that he and his extended family were Molly Maid customers. He knew we could get the job done, so he phoned our Molly Maid franchisees in Houston, TX, Tony and Susie Kirby, who answered the frantic call at 6:35 p.m. "We need as many maids as you can muster at 3613 Goodhope, ASAP," said Blake, in an exasperated voice. The Kirbys went into speed dial and by 8 p.m. arrived at the house with good hope: a team of maids armed with ample supplies and equipment. Then Blake issued the challenge, "You have only one hour to get this two-story, four-bedroom home ready."

"There must have been 150 people from painters, electricians, designers, to tilers electronics guys, and lighting contractors still working. It was absolute chaos," said Susie Kirby. "But when they saw us, they all began cheering. I felt the adrenaline rush through my body. Our maids experienced a similar surge of energy because we cleaned that house top to bottom and saved the day."

When it absolutely, positively has to get done, who do they call-our Molly Maid franchise owners. Mark your calendar for Sunday, September 26, 8/7c, for the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition season premiere and our Molly Maid to-the-rescue episode."
