Billboard Connection Franchise Review
Billboard Connection Franchise

About.com Rating 4

By , About.com Guide

Since 1997 the Billboard Connection has been helping companies of all sizes negotiate premium outdoor advertising. The billboard industry is a $5 billion a year industry. Billboard Connection franchisees are not required to have any previous advertising or sales experience.

The Benefits

There are many benefits to being a Billboard Connection franchisee. Some of these benefits include flexible hours, low startup costs, no inventory to carry and no employees to manage. Most Billboard Connection franchisees work at home and this allows them to eliminate the expenses of running an office.

How Much Does a Billboard Connection Franchise Cost?

The required total investment to open a Billboard Connection franchise is less than $40,000 and this includes five days of training in sunny West Palm Beach, Florida. The company also picks up the tab for your airfare, hotel, ground transportation and lunches! Once you have completed training a field specialist from the company will help you in organizing a product launch at your location.

What We Like

What we like most about the Billboard Connection franchise is that it is part of a family of successful franchises. This includes Sign-A-Rama, which is the world's largest sign franchise, and EmbroidMe, the world's largest retail embroidery franchise. In addition, there are no other franchises like it out there today!

Pros

  • National brands – Billboard Connection already has connections with nationally recognized brands.

  • Extensive training – They have a great training program that not only teaches you sales and marketing but also financial management.

Cons

  • Home office – Having a home office is great for the franchisee, but it does not portray a professional image to high-profile clients.
