The brand already reaches 550,000 homes a month and closed out 2021 with over 13 million magazines. As more franchisees join Money Pages in search of a low-overhead business model that offers the chance to grow their own businesses with top-notch corporate support, the brand will continue to make strides to reach its goal of 60 markets by 2025. Founded in 2001 by Alan Worley in Jacksonville, Florida, the time has never been better, or more seamless, to be a Money Pages franchisee. Worley had the vision — and has laid the groundwork — to provide an advertising medium that would stretch beyond the pages of franchisees’ local publications and reach customers through direct mail, marketing and branding as well. Father-and-son franchisees in Brownsburg, Indiana, Jeff and Nate Eder, were ready to make an impact in their local business community and signed on with Money Pages to launch their publication in April of 2022. Jeff explained the first steps to him and his son’s franchising process involved working with FranCoach for about a month. “FranCoach presented us with some great franchise opportunities, and we ultimately chose Money Pages,” said Jeff. “It’s a proven model and an existing business of 21 years. The system for an incredible publication is already in place, and because of that, we get to allocate the bulk of our time to the product for our customers — the advertisements.” Jeff noted the continual support he received from MoneyPages’ corporate team throughout the opening process and how it has provided the franchisees the tools and confidence they need to be able to enter their local market successfully. Chris Sexton, Money Pages’ Vice President of Franchising, stated that Money Pages realizes there can be hesitation at the beginning of such a huge venture, and that is why the brand does everything in its power to ensure that a franchisee is supported every step of the way. “From the moment of inquiry to signing, we are aware of the range of emotions a franchisee might be facing and the challenges they are up against,” said Sexton. “We know that the biggest challenge is building a personal brand within a local community — but we are there to help every step of the way and prepare them to aggressively network and market themselves. We coach them on finding ways to connect with fellow business owners as quickly and often as possible. There’s never a moment when a franchisee cannot ask a member of the leadership team a question and not get a direct, helpful answer at any stage.” In fact, after going through the application and FDD review process, Sexton stated that in the initial video conference the franchisee candidate attends, they are joined by Worley and other members of the leadership team. They are then also able to meet via video conference with other franchise owners and ask any questions and hear their stories. The franchisee candidate is then invited to a “meet the team day” in Jacksonville, where they receive an overview of sales, operations, design and digital assets. The last steps of the process are the franchisee candidate receiving a franchise award and starting to plan for the new publication launch. The typical timeline from award to publication of the first magazine is 90-120 days. Sexton said that the average franchise owner is in operation — from inquiry to first publication — within six months. Sexton stressed that long after the franchise award has been received and the publication has been launched, the support continues. “Members of our team are always traveling into the markets to work hand-in-hand with the franchise owners, building their business and building relationships,” stated Sexton. “We help with community events and marketing and truly enjoy mentoring and coaching our franchisees to success at every stage.” Money Pages Franchising was launched in 2012 in response to ever-growing interest to bring the flagship Money Pages magazine founded in 2001 to cities across the country. The system has since grown to more than seven states and over 13 million magazines in circulation annually. Our franchise owners come from a wide cross-section of backgrounds and experiences who share a common interest being a part of their local business communities and helping readers save money. ## Entities - 1851 Franchise (publication) - franchise expansion (topic) - Retail (sector) - corporate support (topic) - FranCoach (company) - low-overhead business model (topic) - multi-media franchise (topic) --- Originally reported by 1851 Franchise (https://1851franchise.com/how-to-become-a-money-pages-franchisee-2717994).
