CARS FOR STARS LIMITED
Limousine Franchise Business Opportunities
Cars for Stars is an established and well respected limousine hire and chauffeur car franchise company based in the UK
Whether you are an existing limousine
operator or you are looking to enter the market, the benefits of
being part of a larger network or team is simply undeniable.
History has demonstrated time and time again, that you can
achieve considerably more working as a team, than you can
working on your own. Of course, if you are not a team player,
then this would lessen any benefit to you or the network, in
which case, this is probably not for you.
The Cars for Stars opportunity allows individuals or owners of small business to become part of a national network, whilst still controlling and running the operation on a local basis. Better still, there is no requirement to invest inordinate amounts of money developing a trading style, a brand or an internet presence, because Cars for Stars already has it!
Cars for Stars is probably the best known limousine hire company in the UK. We have a significant presence on the internet, a memorable brand and a reputation for delivering on our promises. Through our national and local websites, we are visited by nearly 1.5 million unique visitors every year, that is not hits, it is unique, individual people looking for limousines to hire or chauffeur cars. Of course we accept, that some could be our competitors looking to see how we do it, or maybe looking to 'borrow' some of our copyrighted material. Either way, our sites are well trafficked by people looking for what we have to offer, limousine hire and chauffeur cars.
Every year, visitors to our websites take the
time to complete in excess of 100,000 webform enquiries. These are not
poor quality leads with limited information. Simply put, if we
are not provided with all of the key information, then the form
cannot be submitted. We are looking for quality, not quantity,
which is another important attribute of our business that very
much sets us apart from those that would try and replicate some
or part of the programme we have put together. We know that if
we were to reduce the amount of information required from
prospective customers, our enquiries would increase overnight to
300,000, this is no idle boast! However, it would also mean that
two thirds of the time spent processing enquiries would simply
be wasted.
In addition to webform enquires, we average a further 600 telephone enquiries every single day and nearly every one is a caller looking to hire a limousine or a chauffeur driven car, the rest are people looking to sell us something we don't want. As our network expands, the number of enquiries increases everyday, for example our calls alone are growing every year by between 35 and 55%.
Apart from local Yellow Pages advertising, which is the responsibility of our local operations, Cars for Stars only uses the internet to promote the business and generate new enquiries. As a consequence, it is an area we know well and of course, we know which local and national directories to support and where we are likely to get the best return on our investment. For example, Cars for Stars is a sponsor or supporter of at least 3 specialist limousine hire or chauffeur car hire directories, a further 5 or 6 specialist travel directories, up to 10 wedding directories and a limited number of national, regional and local web directories. Combined, these investments succeed in driving real and relevant traffic to our websites, which fully supports our own efforts in terms of ensuring all of our websites are optimised for relevant traffic.
Limousine Hire Franchise Opportunity
Limousines Franchise or Licence?
Because most people can identify with the concept of a franchise, we have referred to this business opportunity as a franchise only in the interests of keeping things simple. The description is also designed to avoid confusion over our own licensing programme as distinct from that required by the local authorities (private hire licensing). However, for clarity, our programme is actually a Licensing Agreement and whilst there are many similarities, there are also critical differences and it is essential that everyone understands what these are.
Rather than granting a franchise, Cars for Stars provides a 'Licence Agreement' whereby a local business person is granted with a licence to operate their local limousine business under the Cars for Stars name, for example, the Nottingham area, whilst referred to as Cars for Stars (Nottingham), may well have a trading style of, 'John R Smith trading as Cars for Stars (Nottingham) operating under licence from Cars for Stars Limited. But of course this is not the only difference. More.....
Benefits - Cars for Stars
There are many tangible benefits of becoming part of the Cars for Stars network.....
Our aim is to make it as simple as possible to start and develop a limousine hire business and with this in mind we have, based on our experience, put together a programme of measures, systems and processes to assist new Cars for Stars members.
For example, members of the Cars for Stars network do not have to commission a new website, wait up to 6 months before the site is indexed in a manner that can deliver results and pay the extortionate, but necessary costs associated with optimising the website for relevant searches. We have established websites that are fully optimised for local search, that are delivering real enquiries right now!
Over the years, we have also developed a bespoke software system that automates many of the repetitive functions related to running a limo hire business, this includes online quotations, creating booking forms, producing a drivers itinerary, tracking payments, keeping records for the local authority and so on.
