The Auction it Today Mobile system utilises the concept of the ebay drop-off store but removes the high overhead costs associated with having a physical location. In real terms the savings on the system is in excess of $100 000 and $12 000 in royalties a year.

The Mobile system is an ebay based franchise network on mobile pickup and delivery vehicles - supplied in purchase price. With the use of an Auction it Today painted vehicle, franchisees can pickup goods from interested sellers for sale on ebay for a fixed or floating commission rate. Most modestly sized goods will be stored by the franchisee, while large, baulky or even expensive items can remain with the seller.

By utilizing a home office and a internet mobile laptop the franchisee can do onsite listings for clients, which removes much of the difficulties some would-be sellers have in transporting goods to a store. The franchisee can also start with a simple spare room, or even a secure shed as a storage facility. Why pay for costly storage facilities at the start? Trade into a position that requires such premises.

This system has been designed to help keep commission profits where they belong, with the franchisee. It also allows the franchisee to set their own hours and work from home. As there are only four regions per state (single region for ACT, Tasmania, NT and WA) the franchisee can sell off parts of their region under a sub-licence and earn from others.

With the kiosk option, which is a desk located within an existing business (hardware - electrical store?) the sub-license agreement means you will have your own team in the region to manage. For only $50 000, including Mitsubishi Van (65 000 for Mecedes Vito) the earning potential for your growing business will be in your control. Modest fees owed to the company will not impact on growth, or business development. Auction it Today is about empowering people to be successful, and about rewarding those who join us.

As the network grows Auction it Today will encourage up to four operators to work in conjunction to open a bulk storage space within their region, sharing the costs across four franchisees. From these locations all stock picked up by mobiles can be stored, photographed, listed and shipped, thus reducing associated costs.

The mobile offers on the road, constant advertising, with it is visible and clear logo and contact details. My experience has already shown that people will stop you to get a business card, or ask about what you do. 80% of all my early test kiosk work has come from visibility and word of mouth. So the market is there.

There are other trading options open to the franchisee once solid trading begins. Because there are only four regions to be sold, your business expansion, though not limitless, will prove to be solid and exciting.

This is not Big Brother franchising, this is independent business networking and franchising how it should be. Auction it Today only earns from your success, and we will help you every step of the way to do this. 13.08.2007
