The Buzz

The Buzz Franchise
The Buzz Business Opportunity

The Buzz is a free weekly periodical filled with fun, humorous and sometimes useful information. It is meant to be light hearted and leave the reader in a good mood. The Buzz is placed free of charge in businesses such as restaurants, chamber of commerce, oil change facilities, hair salons etc. Places where people have a wait time and would enjoy some free entertainment.

As a Buzz Trade Mark License holder, you will partner with local small businesses to help them increase business. Small business is the heart and soul of America and it is our job to help them keep moving forward!

Of course you are helping yourself while helping them. You will be running a small business of your own which allows you to control your future, not worry about being fired or laid off and creating a better quality of life for you and your family.

As a Buzz licensee, you are partnering with small businesses to advertise in The Buzz. You set your own prices, can trade ads for goods/services from the vendor and you distribute The Buzz each week. We supply you most of the content so all you have to do is sell and make money!

Recession resistant:

Advertising is always needed. When business is good, owners have positive cash flow and buy advertising to increase business and make more money. When business is down, owners need to buy advertising to increase business so the business does not go under!

Either way, they need advertising and The Buzz is a low-cost provider which makes us VERY popular with small business owners.

Distribution: The Buzz is distributed once a week. About 40 copies will be placed in approximately 50 locations. Total distribution is around 2,000 copies.

The Buzz Franchise Revenue: The Buzz is funded by advertising from local businesses. Price is set by each license holder (That's you!). Price will also be decided by length the ad runs. You may choose to price 52 weeks to be less expensive per week than buying just 4 weeks. Only 2 advertisers per segment are allowed. Ex. 2 insurance people, 2 house painters etc.

Territory: Each Buzz territory contains no more than 55,000 population.

You will need to do some cold calling but networking is another great tool to make business contacts. Chamber of Commerce meetings are also great because you meet business owners in your area.

5. How many hours a week will I spend working on The Buzz?

Well, that depends on how much money you would like to make? The more time you spend, the more money you will make. There are no short cuts or secrets to success. Hard work equals revenue. The more calls you make, the more sales you will make. But you make your own hours so you can also be home when the kids get home from school or take Friday afternoon off to play golf.

6. Can I Run The Business From My Home?

Yes, and a home business is a great way to keep expenses down to make your company more profitable. Also, check with your accountant regarding possible tax benefits of having a home office.

7. Do I need employees?

No. You can run the business by yourself although you may want to pay someone to deliver the newsletter each week to free you up to sell more advertising. You may also want to hire someone to help you sell advertising but you can do this on a commission basis so therefore you would not need employees.

If you would like to increase your revenue, you may decide to purchase several territories. In this situation, you may find it necessary to have an employee or two. You can make that decision when the time comes.
