They aren’t slowing down anytime soon, on pace to double in size by 2020. AdvantaClean is off to a fast start in 2016*,* adding 5 new franchise owners in the first month of the year. The brand hopes to sign on 25 more units in 2016, with plans to open new franchises in Alabama, Tennessee, Arizona, Boston, Baltimore and Ohio.
According to AdvantaClean’s Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer Matt Phillips, positioning the company as an indoor air quality franchise has been pivotal to their success over the years.
“AdvantaClean was intentionally crafted to eliminate services that did not meet certain margins, production, or customer acquisition requirements. From that, our blend of Light Environmental Services Services™ that AdvantaClean champions today was created,” Phillips said. “These services carved out a niche market for us, and we’ve been able to make homes and businesses clean, safe, healthy and energy-efficient in a way not really seen in this industry.”
But it’s not just the brand’s unique services that have led to their success over the past two decades. The AdvantaClean business model is proven, scalable and recession-resistant. They provide their franchise business owners with the necessary tools and support needed to operate a high-margin, low-overhead business. The brand has also streamlined its offerings and implemented a unique call center, answering all calls for franchise owners, giving them the immediate resolutions their customers need.
“Our model is a lower investment, more manageable business model, with higher margins and a better quality of life. We smartly centralized many aspects of the business to allow the franchisee to focus on local activities—and on making money,” Phillips said.
As the brand continues to grow, Phillips added that ensuring the success of their franchisees will remain at the forefront of everything they do in the years ahead.
“People don’t join AdvantaClean just for the things we do. People join for the people, culture, systems, tools and our full commitment to stay engaged, keeping them happy, growing and profitable,” Phillips added. “Our franchisees want to be the face of AdvantaClean in their community, and they want to thrive by making a difference. We make sure they have everything they need to reach those goals.”
