    Decor & You Advantage

    These are compelling reasons to
    take a serious look at the franchising opportunity
    that Decor&You offers in the
    $100 billion furnishing and interior decorating industry.


      Advantage...
    A Proven Business Model. A Decor&You franchisee has access to a refined, proven system, which let's you focus on the "big picture" of building your business - versus the day-by-day effort to grind out an entirely new business model on your own.

    Buying Power. The Decor&You Franchise provides instant vendor buying power: a vendor network with product resources, negotiating power and a competitive pricing edge in the interior decorating marketplace.

    Lower Risk. The Decor&You Franchise has access to proven marketing techniques, superior training and business coaching, which reduce the cost of overhead and investment in your business.

    Creative Support. The Decor&You Franchise offers a network of peers to share creative ideas and solutions to business problems. Pooled resources enable you to evolve and mature your business at a much faster rate.

    Brand Recognition. The Decor&You Franchise is backed by a growing brand that offers instant credibility in your marketplace as part of a national, interior decorating organization. As the franchise system grows, so does the value and rewards of your business.

    Are You Ready to Transform Your Life?

                        Transform...

    Change can be hard, but when you're ready, it's welcome! The best kind of change begins with a dream.

    Have you ever dreamed about:

    • The rigors and joys of becoming a business owner?
    • The challenges and rewards of working directly with the public and maintaining a portfolio of clients?
    • Freedom and flexibility, with no retail clock to punch
      and no boss to control your life?
    • The financial incentive to work in the creative, dynamic design industry, one of the fastest growing economic sectors in North America?
    • The security and power of being part of a nationwide peer group and a national brand?
    • The chance to create a legacy?

    Is a franchise opportunity right for you?

    Sandra Hambley, an accomplished Decor&You regional developer in Virginia and Maryland, speaks from personal experience when she notes, "Being a successful business owner is 80% mental. Being positive and focused is incredibly important."

    In a January 2007 article, Entrepreneur Magazine identified the top five attributes of a good potential franchisee. "Good people skills" were cited as the number one requirement. The "ability to be coached" and "general business skills" tied closely for second and third, with "access to capital" listed in fourth. The fifth trait, valued by more than three-fourths of respondents, was "entrepreneurial mindset." Entrepreneur based its data on replies from the companies in the annual Franchise 500, a list of franchise companies that qualify as the best in the U.S.

    At Decor&You we realize everyone has a dream.

                          Dream...

    Some dream of a low-cost of entry home-based opportunity where they work in a business and follow their passion for interior decorating.

    Others dream of building a large enterprise with a team of certified interior decorating professionals.

    There is a third path exclusively for senior-level franchisees or qualified development executives.

    Whatever your dream may be, Decor&You offers the right investment option and structure to help you achieve it, so you can become part of our amazing nationwide network of professionals:

    "Decor&You fit my style and my desires to be a business owner: I wanted to be creative and be able to work from home. If I was going to move from Corporate America, it had to meet my criteria." --- 2007 Decor&You Franchisee of the Year, Ted Jurek, a DecorDesigner in Atlanta, Georgia.

    One thing is certain: Through Decor&You, it's possible to "love the space you're in" far more... when you're working in your own space!


    Multi-Unit Territory Director Franchise


    The Profile

    Those eligible to become a Territory Director include management-oriented, business-savvy individuals with Marketer/Manager backgrounds. A desire to decorate is not required to manage a territory. Candidates should have interest in building a business through a team, which we help you find and train.

    Opportunity Overview

    Manage a multi-unit franchise, and cultivate a team of interior decorating professionals. Most directors maintain a studio or professional office space for team meetings and other regional needs. As a franchise unit matures, employees may be added to support the growth of administrative and bookkeeping operations.

    Support

    Decor&You provides systems, training and support for your management development, including hiring and training decorators, sales, marketing and small business management. We also support your decorators with training and service.

    Investment

    The franchise fee is $80,000. The total investment averages between $185,000 and $200,000.

    Territories Available

    Protected marketing territories are available in 48 states (except ND and SD).


    The DecorDesigner Franchise

    Profile

    Those eligible to become a DecorDesigner are those who love people, color and enjoy being on the move, out in their communities. DecorDesigners find fulfillment in building relationships and personal networks and are driven toward a higher goal for their personal and professional success. No direct job experience in interior decorating is required, though appreciation for design is essential.

    Opportunity Overview

    Operate a single unit franchise, a low-cost, low-overhead decorating business that offers flexibility and the freedom to pursue financial goals. Most prefer a home-based operation to give them the opportunity to meet clients in their homes or offices. Specialize in full-service residential and/or commercial decorating for a portfolio of local clients. Services include planning, buying and decorating. Distinctions of service include abundant client choice (style and products), outstanding customer service, individualized DecorPlans, and comprehensive project management that eliminate the mistakes and money wasted when people try to decorate without professional guidance.

    Support

    Decor&You provides at least 200 hours of professional training through our nationally certified program. Curriculum focuses on design principles, small business management, and sales and marketing.

    Investment

    The franchise fee is $25,000. The total investment is $56,000-$79,000 including franchise fee, samples, working capital and resources needed for your first year.

    Territories Available

    Protected marketing territories are available in 48 states (except ND and SD).
