5. HOW DO TERRITORIES WORK?
Territories are developed and defined in order to insure adequate market coverage without saturation. We allow franchises in an area based on population, on a ratio of one franchise per 500,000 people.
6. WHAT IS MY MONTHLY ROYALTY/FRANCHISE FEE AND MARKETING FEE?
MARBLELIFE’s royalty is 6% of sales as collected, and a 2% national marketing fee. Unlike other franchise models, we do not require royalty on what you have sold, but on what you collect, so that should you encounter a client that takes their time in submitting payment, you are never asked to pay a royalty before you collect your payment. The marketing fee supports ongoing brand building and lead generation tools such as our web site, local site developments, mailings and ad development
7. HOW MUCH CAN I MAKE?
It depends on you. Each service is designed to provide a high margin return. The amount of time and effort you invest will determine your rate of growth and total sales. We encourage you to speak with other MARBLELIFE franchisees regarding their experiences as the best way for you to gage how your franchise will perform.
