Franchise Opportunities
We are currently launching the city guide section and each city territory is secured to you. Once we have cities taken, you will need to email us to see if your territory is available. We will be working together on the phone and email on a daily basis if needed. You will need to purchase around $4000 in material at wholesale to get started to go all out campaign in a full size city (Better than starting at scratch at $50-60,000 and years of development). If you want to do something in a smaller scale and be a sales rep and/or manage a sales team, you can just buy the sales books/forms for around $100/pack and start selling to small businesses in your city (Just email us).
This is for an opportunity to run our City Guide in your area. You won't own the website but will be a subcontractor partner to run our website in your area. As a representative, you will perform local marketing activities. Our goal is to have you promote the site from within your city, growing the site, while ebosa maintains the site and covers all the costs associated with developing and hosting the site.
Our site is ebosa.com a free auctions, classified ads, ecards website. We have been running this site in our area for the past 2 years.
The purpose of ebosa is to create traffic for our main business ebosacityguide.com which we are currently launching. We spent the past 2 years developing this website and promoting with paid google ads throughout North America for our auction section, and local advertising in our area. We used our area as a test market and now we are looking for entrepreneurs to expand with us nationally.
We will not charge subcontractors any fees to join our team, but we require you to purchase advertising and ebosa business material to run this business in your area. We cost out the materials your need to run the business. This business is for someone that is a self starter and motivated. We spent 2 years developing a business model and have everything prepared for you to keep things cost efficient. We will work together to create an opportunity for you to have a self sustaining business that could make you a fortune in the long run. Basically we split all revenues 50%.
Every night when you or your sales team take your orders, orders can be emailed to our office for processing. We will help train you to create the directory pages or we can work something out in hiring people at the main office to do it. Charging customers a one time setup fee is optional. Remember we are working together to make this work.
While the main ebosa.com site brings people in your city to the site, it is used to draw people to the city guide. Basically it is an all for one portal.
We will help you put in classified ads into the free ads section from your area to help start you out. Ebosa has plastic signs that you can place around your city to promote the website in your area. You will need to put stakes and hammer them around the city, hammer them on telephone poles (where permitted), Put flyers in libraries, coffee shops, community boards, etc. The more advertising you promote, the more of a presence you will have when selling the city guide..

Notes:
Ebosa and you will agree to monthly revenue targets. In the beginning if you miss those targets in 6 months in a row, we can, at our option, terminate the relationship with no further obligation to you. But once we establish market saturation, then it is only a matter of maintaining customers.
You can terminate the relationship at any time.
We can, at any time, terminate the relationship with you by paying you a lump sum equal to the previous 12 months. We would do this if we sold our company but could do it for other reasons. But most likely, if someone bought us out, you will be core to the business so they would likely retain you. We put this 12 month payout for you so you will be rewarded if anything happens.
We retain ownership of the site, the domain name, the trademarks and the content at all times.
The main point is that we want to make sure things are profitable and worthwhile for both parties. We plan to enter different markets in North America and would benefit from having a subcontractor in each market.
In order for this work, you must be a self-starter, good at dealing with people, and have the time to spend doing physical, guerrila- style marketing. If you are primarily a 'techie', this opportunity is probably not for you.
To give you an idea of the things that we do to promote ebosa.com, we:
1. Paste up posters around the city.
2. Buy TV/Radio ad spots (which we don't expect you to do, but recommended when you start making money).
4. Put signs on our cars.
5. Erect 'rogue' billboard signs on public boulevards.
6. Leverage our community of friends and associates for word-of- mouth marketing.
7. Put flyers on car windshields promoting the site.
Our Goal is to have a good working partnership with our subcontractors to establish a good foundation for our website in order to build financial stability and dreams for those in the Ebosa family!
Later when we make money, the head office may place local advertising for you. You can order as much as you like to get our business running.
