From our point of view as an existing
Fellas Gifts Franchisee we see Fellas Gifts as an exciting and progressive
retail franchise. We are always complimented by customers that this is a great store with fun and unique men's gifts and products to sell. We often overhear customer comments such as “I knew I would find it here” or “Finding something for his birthday was so easy”. Fellas Gifts' success lies in its huge product range and ever-changing stock. Fellas Gifts also takes on brand new products and has always been one of the first retailers to market particular products for men. This is enhanced and in many cases initiated by the Fellas Franchisor in providing information on successful products and “hot Items” on an almost daily basis via emails and on a monthly basis via the newsletter and top 500 products list. We see the ongoing support from Head Office as a huge positive in assisting us to successfully operate our Fellas Gifts Franchise.
We feel the success of a Fellas Gifts
giftwares franchise also lies in the ability of each franchisee to choose his/her own stock items to suit their local market and clientele while at the same time taking advantage of the buying power of Fellas Gifts as a Group. Individual Franchisees enjoy very positive relationships with our suppliers and numerous discounts are offered to the group.
The operating procedures set up by the franchisor make the business easy to run i.e. Fellas Connect Informing of new products and suppliers codes is invaluable. It enables you to make the decision whether or not you choose to order the product but keeps you informed of stock other stores are ordering. More information about new products, suppliers and sales history is available via email or phone from the head office. The MYOB Retail Manager Point of Sale System is easy to use and accurate even with the many young sales assistants over the busy Xmas trading. We are able to monitor stock levels and track sales accurately on an individual store level We as franchisees would recommend Fells Gifts as a successful and fun franchise. We would welcome new franchisees as it would increase our buying power as a group and give us more supplier discounts and higher profit margins.
