Why Educational Outfitters?
Reasonable Start-Up Costs:
An Educational Outfitters location is a destination store, saving you a large portion in real estate costs. In addition, we have already arranged financing on your inventory purchases with several of the most important suppliers. You can launch an Educational Outfitters store for an initial investment as low as $82,080, a fraction of the cost of many retail operations.
Special Status with Major Vendors:
Many of the major suppliers of school uniforms simply will not sell to a new store owner. Not being able to purchase inventory would certainly be a major roadblock for an independent store owner. Educational Outfitters has already overcome this obstacle for you by making arrangements with these vendors to sell their products to our Franchise Owners. We have even taken this benefit a step further by negotiating advantageous pricing and terms with the industry's most prominent vendors.
Potential Strong Return on Your Investment:
An Educational Outfitters Franchise affords you the potential of earning an excellent return on your investment as well as a very comfortable annual income. Of course, as with any other franchise venture, your profitability is directly dependent upon the amount of effort you devote to operating your store.
An Experienced Franchisor Dedicated to Your Success:
You can draw on our proven experience in this field to help ensure your success. Plus, we are not interested in becoming the biggest franchise company, selling hundreds of locations a year. Rather, our goal is to become known as one of the best franchise opportunities. We intend to reach this goal by concentrating on steady, measured growth, allowing us to provide all possible support to Educational Outfitters Franchise Owners.
Very Little Direct Competition:
There are few convenient options for a parent when purchasing school uniforms and dress code apparel. First, there is mail order through catalogs, but, of course,the child cannot try on different sizes and styles without a great deal of ordering and returning items. Second, some department stores carry a limited number of school uniform items, but the selection is sparse, getting knowledgeable service can be a problem and the availability tends to be seasonal, so items cannot be replaced during the course of the school year. Finally, there are a handful of retail school uniform stores across the country, but the existing stores cannot possibly service the demand. The time is ripe for a store specializing in these items that carries a full selection of the approved items, has availability throughout the school year so damaged or outgrown items can be replaced and provides expert assistance and fitting.
Effective Sales and Marketing Programs:
Educational Outfitters has developed highly effective sales and marketing programs that help you secure schools as clients with a minimum expenditure of funds. We will teach you how to spend your marketing dollars most efficiently, saving you considerable money and increasing your revenues. Plus, we have created specialized sales programs for schools that already require uniforms, those who are considering requiring uniforms and those who do not yet realize the benefits of school uniforms. These targeted sales programs all you to enroll more schools.
Proven Inventory Management Procedures:
One of the keys to success in this industry is properly buying your inventory. We will teach you everything you need to know in this area, including the best times to order and how to make realistic estimates of the quantities needed of each item. We understand what items have strong demand, what sizes to purchase and the pitfalls of improper ordering. Only Educational Outfitters Franchise Owners can draw on our wealth of experience in this area. This knowledge alone is worth the Franchise fee.
A Pleasant Working Environment:
An Educational Outfitters store is fun, pleasant working environment. You can dress casually. Your clientele is generally upper scale, well behaved and grateful that they finally have a convenient source for their school uniform needs. Plus, because they return year after year, you can form a lasting bond with the parents and children you serve. Finally, an Educational Outfitters Franchise gives you pride of ownership and the knowledge that you are serving an important role in your community.

Career Wear, Corporate Logo's, Promotional Products, Custom Embroidery, Tuxedo Rental, Graduation Caps & Gowns and Lettered Jackects
