What are the deceptive methods and characteristics of franchise stores?

Clothing franchising is one of the preferred industries for entrepreneurs now, but it is not without risks. There are many scams in the clothing franchising market. If you are not careful, you will be defrauded and lose all your money. So what are the deceptive tactics used by clothing franchise stores? What should you pay attention to when opening a store for the first time? Today we will take a look at the experiences summarized by our predecessors and how we should deal with some of the deceptive tactics used by clothing franchise stores?

Their deceptive methods and characteristics are as follows:

1. Those who are looking for franchisees are young people who want to start a business but have little experience. Therefore, such people are at high risk of being deceived. If you are a person who has never started a business before, you are a young person, and you want to join some projects you saw on the Internet. Please be careful!

2. Such a franchise project will make the website very beautiful and exquisite. After all, everyone has a love for beauty.

3. The content on such websites is very attractive. It either means huge profits, zero risk, or the time to recover costs is very short.

4. Collect deposits: Some franchisees say they do not charge franchise fees. They charge deposits because they want to ensure that franchisees can operate according to the company's so-called regional divisions. The deposit is promised to be returned in the form of goods. If you join, they say there are many conditions for refunding the deposit. Either you have breached the contract, or your sales amount has not met their requirements. In short, they will do everything possible to prevent you from getting the deposit so easily, or they will return it in the form of goods instead of cash.

5. Collect franchise fees: Some franchisees say that by charging franchise fees, they can get additional products from the company. For example, there are posters, hangers, billboards, batteries, etc. for companies opening new stores. But the franchise fee is much higher than the additional gifts. It doesn’t matter if the number of franchises is small. There are some companies that specialize in cheating franchise fees, which can easily cost tens of thousands. You should be more careful with such companies. What kind of gifts from such a company would be worth tens of thousands?

6. There are also some that do not charge franchise fees or deposits, and promise that products that cannot be sold can be 100% exchanged. This kind of company is relatively good and there are fewer scammers. But they will ask for how much goods to purchase for the first time. The purchase volume is still not small, 30,000 or 50,000. It is also said that such purchases are 100% exchangeable. But once you buy their goods, it’s hard to sell them. What kind of goods should you exchange for? That's out of your control. It may be to exchange for some goods that are more difficult to sell. If you exchange them again, if you exchange them a few more times, their attitude will be different. If you come a few more times, you will not have the energy to exchange them, and the cost of each exchange will be yours. I didn't make much money, but I paid a lot for shipping costs. Some franchise companies have made an agreement with some transportation companies and express companies, and each person earns half of the freight. It originally only costs 30 to ship to a certain place, but because it is paid on collection or collect, the freight can be naturally increased to 60. The extra thirty yuan means that the franchise company and the transportation company each earn half.

7. If you read their website and want to know something about joining their franchise, call the company. They will not wait for you to ask anything, and just say that if you are interested, come to the company to inspect. Think about it, when you get to their territory, they are the ones who call the shots, so it’s normal to cheat them no matter what. So if there is such a company that says you'd better come to the company to have a look, you should be careful. You may not join their company when you arrive, but it will cost a lot of valuable time and travel expenses.

8. If you are careful and ask them if they have any successful franchise stores, where they are, and whether they have a phone number, they will not tell you. The unified answer is to come to the company for on-site inspection, otherwise What they tell you is far away from you. Their purpose is not to let you see it or to let you understand their situation in other ways. But if you really want to know, one way is to go to Taobao. I believe you can find such a franchise store selling online. You can find their franchise store and call to ask. I visited many franchise stores this time and found them through this method.

9. If you really go to that company, it means that the attitude and sincerity of the investment recruiter on the phone are relatively good, and you will go. But you also have to be careful. You need to understand the strength of this company from several aspects. The first is the quality of the goods, the second is the price of the goods, and the third is the business license of the company.

If you want to join a certain project, don’t just look at one, otherwise it’s very easy to be deceived!

10. If you want to join a certain project, never pay more than one cent to the company, otherwise you will be dead. Of course, if you want to hand it over, it must be handed over to a company that you are sure will have no problems.

11. According to the laws of the country, a company that wants to join must have its own direct store, if not. You don't have to examine anything at all. It's just fake. If it is illegal, you can go directly to the local industrial and commercial bureau where they are located and report it, and you might even be rewarded!

12. Thank you all for reading my article for a long time. I wish you a good mood! Don't be fooled! If you have been scammed, report it immediately!

13. However, there are many good franchisees on the Internet, so don’t be biased. This article just wants to remind some impulsive young people.

14. Business is not as profitable as it was in the past. The competition is too fierce. There is no good cake falling from the sky. Even if there is, it may not be you.
