Jeff is a unique franchise opportunity for the following reasons: 

  • Technology: Jeff offers an App for iOs and Android available in all the languages of its open markets. It is possible to book a slot for any vertical service through this App and it is also possible to place laundry orders using this technology. From a franchisee point of view, this means you can offer a more convenient service compared to traditional franchises in the sector. This will help you to become attractive to the young tech-savvy Filipino population.
  • Processes and Partner support: The company has a team of native Filipino employees to help in the franchise set-up process. They have a deep understanding of the market and assist in the expansion and growth phases. The numerous successful experts who form part of the team enable Jeff to guarantee quality professional help. 
  • Marketing: The company benefits from both online and offline marketing channels. The team includes professionals who have worked at companies such as Uber, Coca-Cola, and Google. They inspired and assisted Jeff to run campaigns covering the year’s most important events on both a hyper-local and national level.
  • Cross-selling: The company has made cross-selling efforts between services on offer to increase brand loyalty. Thus, they have launched different campaigns to cross-sell their range of services (laundry, beauty, fitness, and relaxation) to the users that already consume one service.
  • Finance and profitability: All company business models are orientated towards a lower than sector average initial investment, making the possibility to reach the break-even point easier.
