Painting The Town

Super Coups is growing at a fast clip by offering franchisees the opportunity to start direct-mail coupon services in their areas. "Franchisees do the selling, visit clients, promote the product, and help clients design the coupon and submit the artwork," says Don McKenzie, president of the Avon, Massachusetts, company. "[We create] the artwork and graphics in-house, print everything, insert the postage and mail the coupons."

The $30,000 franchise fee includes a 50,000-person territory, a notebook computer with software, a week of training, ongoing support and publicity on the company's Web site, where visitors can print out online coupons. There's a $14.80 royalty fee per thousand mailings and an advertising fee of no more than $500 per year.
