Record breaking year for Coconut client, FitKid

Nov 26, 2008 | Clients in the Media

… as four new franchisees join the team in just one month!

Since Coconut Creatives assisted FitKid with the launch of its franchise package in 2007, this national child fitness brand has been establishing a number of key franchise zones around the UK with a great deal of success and gradual growth.

This month sees a further FOUR new franchisees undertaking training at FitKid’s HQ in Dorset. Training will be undertaken by Coconut Creatives founder, Sarah Cook.

Nicky Kay, FitKid’s Franchise Director is delighted with the progress. “We welcome four new franchisees to the team which will cover North Sunderland and Tyne and Wear, Norwich, Islington and Stoke Newington and Wood Green. All are to launch in January 2009. Many individuals are realising that FitKid offers a superb franchise opportunity and suits those who may be returning to work after having children,” says Nicky.

Franchisees can earn £50K through this opportunity by purchasing a 5 year FitKid Franchise at a very low cost of £7.5k. The franchise provides a realistic solution for part time or full time work where franchisees effort equals their own reward, as well as helping to make fitness fun for so many children.

“I think the franchise is popular because it is really affordable. Franchisees also undergo specialist training and gain a nationally recognised child fitness qualification that equips them with the skills to run the business. This franchise is so important to us to help spread the word about childhood obesity and work with as many people as possible to give our children the best start,” adds Nicky.

The pilot franchise, in Poole and Bournemouth is doing really well with over 35 classes a week. New projects have also been secured with Bournemouth School Sports Partnership this academic year.

Sue Young is one of the new franchisees starting training next week and comments, “I’m very excited about bringing FitKid to the North East. I’m looking forward to having fun with the kids while having a positive influence on their health.”

The FitKid Franchise supports government initiatives to improve child fitness and reduce child obesity, currently estimated to be 30% by 2010. FitKid achieves this by making active play a priority and most importantly, enjoyable.

Mirage to Make Over the UK!

Aug 12, 2008 | Coconut in the Media

Coconut Creatives is now working with Mirage’s beauty salon in Leeds. Mirage is renowned for its professionally tailored treatments in a relaxing and tranquil environment and this successful business is now available as a franchise. This unique franchise opportunity is the ONLY combined hair and beauty business currently available in the UK.

Jaz Rander, founder of Mirage and qualified beauty therapist, explains why the franchise offering has been developed, “The Leeds salon draws clients from up to 70 miles away and they tell us that it is because we combine innovative beauty services with a real care for the individual. We have always strived to do things differently at Mirage and this has built our reputation to a point where our regular clients include national TV celebrities.”

Mirage was one of the first salons in the region to offer threading, Hollywood waxing, sugaring and non-surgical facelifts. The salon is also known for effectively treating skin pigmentation, acne and acne scarring, and other skin problems using their own PRAVI product range. PRAVI has been developed using ayurvedic principles, combining herbs, minerals and oils that contribute towards natural healing of the skin and Mirage franchisees will have exclusive use of these products.

A Mirage franchise would suit anyone looking for a management opportunity and whilst a keen interest in the beauty industry is desirable, it is not necessary as full training will be provided. The franchise, which costs just £106,500*, includes all training, treatment machines, operations manual, legalities, marketing promotion and opening stock.
