Jumping J-Jays Castles and Slides

Jumping J-Jays is a part time 3-day-a-week business in the children's entertainment market and Guarantees 100k in sales.

As an owner your new 3 day business will be setting up back yard inflatable castles mainly on Saturday and Sunday. Generally, you will set up in the morning and after a few hours back at home you will return to pick up your castles. Further, you or your spouse will be involved in 1 day per week local area marketing where your business is involved with your target audience of Preschools, schools and other specific markets. Jumping J-Jays backs you with their 100k turnover guarantee.

Our Typical Franchisee:
Here at Jumping J-Jays we usually sell franchises to couples who are looking for a safe and easy way to get into business. Our typical franchisee is a couple aged between 25 and 45. They may have kids already or be thinking of kids in the next 3 years. These people understand they have little control in their current job and little ability to increase their wealth in their past where they are today. These people understand that the hard work they currently put in at their day job for their boss would certainly pay dividends for them when they apply that same love and attention and hands-on work to their own business.

Deliveries
Each delivery takes around 30 minutes. Your morning starts loading your trailer (supplied free to you) with the day's deliveries. You will have coordinated your route the evening before by reviewing your bookings on the Jumping J-Jays secure intranet.

An average of 5-6 deliveries will take approximately 3 hours in the morning and again the same to pick them up. An exclusive territory will be yours to service with 12 castles (typical franchise) of around 20 themes to start with.

Our business owners usually fit under one of these models:

• 1st: Husband does deliveries and continues to work full time in his normal day job and his wife does the admin and 1 day of local marketing.
• 2nd: Husband is a house dad and wife works full time and he runs the entire 3 days himself.
• 3rd: Husband makes a lifestyle career and works this business full time with more marketing and attention then the part timers to grow his business quicker.

As your business grows and you increase your stock of castles you may step back from installations and work the business as a manager.

On our 2nd meeting we will discuss the Jumping J-Jays Lifestyle Choices Program.

Administration
The bookwork side of things takes approximately 3 to 4 hours per week. This is made very easy with a fully functional intranet system.

Marketing
We have produced specific marketing material to enable franchisees to go and promote their business into the local market. We will provide you with specific magnets, posters and brochures to promote our local incentives and to gain better penetration into your local community. The cost of this material is built into your advertising fee, so the only cost to you is your time and energy.

Janet from the franchise in Burleigh Heads quotes: "In 18 months we went from $34k/annum to $160k/annum and my husband now works this franchise 4 days a week."
