We want you to focus on what you do best, online retail. By using FoundersPop, you won’t have to hire employees to manage the Physical Location (internal or storefront), you won’t have to deal with landlords or local ordinances, and you won’t have to worry about how operations are going. We’ve got your back and we manage the entire process, from start to finish.
Not every small business, especially online retailers, has the resources necessary to test out retail space in a high end Shopping Mall. By using FoundersPop, you can answer the question that has been irking you for quite some time now: how would my brand perform in a Shopping Mall where customers can touch and feel my product and get to know my brand?
In our opinion, the biggest benefit to using FoundersPop is the added exposure your brand will receive by being located in a High Foot Traffic Shopping Mall. Not only will your products have the opportunity to be seen by consumers that might never have known about your products or company, but the other brands you share your space with might also bring consumers into the store that were otherwise never interested in your products – but after having seen them in the store, now have the opportunity to touch, feel and learn more about your company.
We also market your and your co-tenants’ businesses locally, using traditional and digital marketing techniques – now that your advertising dollars can go 6 times farther than they otherwise would if you were going it alone – just look at how many more consumers will hear and see information about your products!
Let’s face it; opening up your own Retail Storefront is highly risky and exorbitantly expensive. According to Forbes, the average cost of opening up a Bricks & Mortar store in a Class A Shopping Mall is over $100,000. And much of that cost is borne right up front, before you ever make a dime. This means that many entrepreneurs have to take out loans or use large amounts of reserve cash to test the Bricks and Mortar space. That stress and cost are reduced a great deal when you use FoundersPop. We take the ball and run the entire operation, only needing your inventory and initial month’s fee, which of course is divided by 6. We are able to limit your overall exposure to 1 year, whereas many Shopping Malls require 5 to 10 year lease terms when you’re just starting out. No need to use large cash reserves, or to take out a loan. Just think of the monthly fees as advertising spend because that’s exactly what it is.
We also manage the Landlord, Employees and Customers, something you undoubtedly do not have time to deal with given that you’re an Online Retailer, not a Bricks & Mortar Retailer – at least not yet. And as you find success in Physical Stores, you can scale the operation at your own pace; again, something that is highly stressful and expensive – unless you use the experts at FoundersPop to help you with that Scale!
Once you find success in having a Physical Storefront, you’ll want to try out more – trust us, it’s addictive! And you can scale at your own pace. Maybe you’d like to try another location in a Shopping Mall across town – or perhaps in another state. Or maybe you’d like to be in 20 locations. No matter how big you want to get, we can manage the entire scale process for you. Trust us – we want you to succeed – we’re a success-based company, so with your success, comes our success.
