Atlantic PinStriping Franchise Opportunity

In the classic film “The Graduate”, a successful businessman and family friend corners Dustin Hoffman (Ben) to share his unsolicited and rather mundane career advice. “Ben, Ben, Ben,” says the businessman, “I’ve got one word for you.. . Plastics.” As I’ve gotten older and seen sexy business concepts come and go, I sound at times, like that businessman. I’ve learned that savvy, experienced entrepreneurs don’t judge an opportunity by how it comes across at a cocktail party. They want a business that works. They value operational simplicity. Clarity of purpose. Low overhead. And a competitive edge. They value concepts that have a clear under-standing of who its customers are, where to find them, how to attract them and how to keep them. Those qualities describe Atlantic PinStriping.

A unique service
Atlantic PinStriping franchise owners provide a valuable ongoing service (predominantly) to new car dealers in their territory. They enable them to do two things: enhance the appearance and salability of their new car inventory, and boost add-on sales (and profits) by offering quality custom painted pinstripes to car buyers. As an Atlantic PinStriping franchise owner, your job will be to establish relationships with car dealers and their sales staffs, and build a team that provides exceptional service, which generates repeat business and customer loyalty. You don’t need automotive experience, though sales experience is helpful.

Patented tool, proprietary process
Traditionally, the process of applying painted pinstripes (vs. low quality tape or decal pinstripes) is time consuming, expensive and can take years of practice to master. Atlantic PinStriping founder Mike Montemurro changed that by designing a proprietary, patented tool and process for applying quality painted pinstripes quickly and accurately after the completion of Atlantic’s comprehensive training. This tool is available only to Atlantic PinStriping franchise owners. You won’t need expensive retail space or an extensive inventory. In fact, you may be able to operate your Atlantic PinStriping franchise initially as a home-based business, then move into modestly priced office space as you grow.

Trendy it’s not
OK, so owning a pinstriping franchise won’t make you the toast of your yacht club. Still, you owe it to yourself to take a serious look at this opportunity. On a final note, it’s my understanding that, after “The Graduate,” Ben laughed off the businessman’s advice, opened a coffeehouse, and watched helplessly as his new business vaporized like so much cappuccino steam when Starbucks hit town. The problem with hot new concepts, Ben learned, is that they hardly ever turn into hot, old concepts. So, if you’re looking for an undiscovered franchise with amazing potential, I’ve got just two words for you: “Atlantic PinStriping”.

National Realty Group (NRG) named Top New Franchise

Up-and-coming franchise company National Realty Group – known for its innovative full service approach to residential real estate – has been “discovered” by franchise industry veterans and recognized as one of the “Top 100 New Franchises” by Franchise Market, a national trade magazine that partners with the SBA, SCORE and Small Business Development Centers throughout the country.

The chain had caught the eye of Sean Kelly, a franchise industry veteran engaged by Franchise Market magazine to nominate new, high-potential companies that had recently begun offering franchises. Kelly’s PA-based company IdeaFarm publishes a new-franchise scouting report called FranBest.Com.

According to Kelly, the upstart franchise chain provides a unique opportunity for real estate agents looking to own their own business in the booming residential real estate market.

Residential real estate continues to be one of the largest and strongest sectors in the U.S. economy. Nearly two trillion dollars are exchanged each year in the sale of new and existing homes. However, the availability of property listings on the Internet, new discount brokerage businesses and declining commissions have made it more difficult for traditional real estate agents to survive, much less thrive, despite a booming market.

According to Kelly, National Realty Group founder Jeff Maas has pioneered an innovative, one-stop real estate system that provides better service to real estate consumers, and an enhanced potential revenue model for his franchise owners. As owners of the National Realty Group franchise, real estate agents can offer high quality assistance in buying and selling homes, but can also provide full mortgage and escrow services through their NationalOne Mortgage and Escrow 1 affiliates.

According to Jeff Maas, National Realty Group franchise provides the ultimate win-win situation: enhanced service, convenience and efficiency for home buyers and sellers, and additional potential revenue streams for franchise owners.
