GutterPRO Bouncing Back Strong
Published: 10 July 2020
Business has bounced back strong for GutterPRO.
Lockdown changed everything for many people and for many businesses and who knows what lies around the corner? But GutterPRO is bouncing back. Indeed, June 2020 was one of the strongest months ever across the GutterPRO network.
Many GutterPRO Single Vehicle Franchises recorded sales in excess of £5,000 during June. That’s almost the same as the highest projections that GutterPRO give to prospective new franchisees.
So why has GutterPRO bounced back so well?
Two weeks before lockdown – when Covid started hitting the headlines – GutterPRO introduced its ‘Contact Free’ protocol. This means that every GutterPRO job is done ‘Contact Free’. From telephoning the customer upon arrival (instead of knocking on the door) through to contactless payment.
The ‘Contact Free’ appears on all marketing, the website and magnetic ‘Contact Free’ signs were sent out to all GutterPRO franchisees to help the spread their safety-first message.
Also, with GutterPRO involving outdoor work (usually solo), it’s a far safer environment to be than many indoor businesses. A typical job worth £120 takes about two to three hours using the industrial vacuum systems and carbon fibre pole systems. No climbing ladders – “Safe and sound, we do it from the ground” is the mantra of GutterPRO.
A growing network
GutterPRO on-boarded their first new Franchise Partner since lockdown – a seasoned franchise ‘PRO’ having previously operated a network of Subways. On-boarding procedures have been adapted to reflect present circumstances with social distancing at the forefront of the changes.
With 44 franchisees now covering some 56 territories GutterPRO has expanded significantly since its franchise launch in 2016.
