To get a franchise or not. That is the question

[tidus1203]

True. But you have to be very innovative enough though to start your own business too. But as always more risks EQUALS more reward. People who buy franchises have lower risks, easier task (di mo na poblema marketing since franchisor bahala doon, poblema mo na lang mga tauhan mo atsaka traffic sa store mo) and of course lower rewards. Each have their pros and cons, take what suits you more...

Unfortunately, CDR King does not franchise. I inquired last month for our area here in the Visayas since a new Robinson's is opening soon.

They politely said that the reason that they don't is that it might add to the cost of their products hence defeating the purpose of their low-priced branding.

Smart

come up with your own idea

mas maganda sariling gawa kung ang kapalit ng pagffranchise eh madaming negative results

marami na ring kagaya ng cdrking w/c is i dunno kung naging succesful/malaki na rin ba tulad ng cdr pero duda ko hindi pa kahit 2yrs ago ko na sila nakita.

cdrking sure is a good alternative store pero ano ba naman yan yung mga products nila sana naman tinaasan quality. dami ng mga galit sa tindahang yan eh, pero paminsan kelangan talagang iset aside yung galit kung naghahanap pa rin ng murang alternative na tindahan kaya napipilitan paring bumili mga tao sa tindahan nila kahit naba galit sila sa tindahan or staffs or sa quality nila

oops, mali yata ako ng napag post-an :lol:

gusto kasi ng tao mura na bilihin

price-based ang decision ng karamihan ng tao, mas konte ang quality-based

kaya hit ang CDR King

yes sir. in fact, im one of those people na nabanggit ko na nappuwersa na lang diyan bumili dahil tagtipid pero never have i been satisfied sa services nila at quality ever since the day i returned their headphone for replacement which was way back in my 1st year college days. i think bago lang sila nun. tapos nun siguro days after madami na rin nagliparang pa lang mga negative issues regarding them sa iba't ibang forums/blogs. i think may nabomba yatang branch nila dati dahil sa isang galit na customer. hmm.. ill just end my post here, napapa OT na ko

The question is, is the CD-R King really profitable. Dami nga nila, pero it does not mean its very profitable baka mild lang din profitability nila...

so far lahat naman ng nabili ko sa kanila eh ok at wala pa naman pumapalpak. got a thumb drive, card reader, gel mousepad from them at ok pa naman. got screen protector at ok pa din. just dont try to get the wireless gadgets, mukhang magbibigay kasi ng sakit ng ulo. pero sa business perspective, medyo successful ang cdr king.

When franchising, always consider kung ano yun mapapala mo sa pagfranchise ng business. Usually yun machinery and capability ang dapat mo i-consider like sa gasoline business, mas cheaper siguro kung mag-franchise ka kesa magtayo ka sarili refinery at mag-angkat ng raw materials. syempre hindi ka din basta-basta makakapagimport ng crude oil. or like sa access mo sa specific ingredients like sa mga fastfood joints. mas cheaper kung kukuha ka na lang ng produkto kaysa magprocess ka pa at magmanufacture ng mga paninda mo.

Pero kung growth ang habol mo sa isang negosyo, better create your own brand than franchise.
