Established trading style
Launching your Franchise business with the established VIP Limo Services® trading style and logo, you can clearly demonstrate that you are part of a large national network with all the attendant benefits, whilst possessing local knowledge and national presence which is a proven model for success. Our company projects a professional image and will become synonymous with quality local service. Our aim is to seamlessly integrate you into our Franchise and Licensee network. We will also assist with local press releases to your local newspaper and radio stations. We charge a monthly royalty in return for the use of our GPS Mapping system, 24 hour Call Centre, Bookings, Centralised Billing, Back Office Administration for Legal Corporate & Private Agreements, Centralised electronic payment system and the other benefits outlined above and below.
National and local presence
Our website is already generating hundreds of enquiries in many of the available suburbs, as well as for licensees wanting to provide their pre-approved late model black luxury sedans for use, increasing the capacity of VIP Limo Services, for events and bookings requiring multiple car bookings. This presence ensures that even a new business can get off to a running start. In addition our brand is well established at the International Airports throughout South Africa.
0861 VIP LIMO Number
Callers will pay a local rate call. These calls can be forwarded by our own central call centre to the cell number of the franchisee.
Call handling
Calls directed to our own call centre are answered in our own trading style - for example our franchisee would have calls answered; "VIP Limo Services, how can we help you & where do you want to go?". Our programme is designed to be flexible enough to balance your needs and wishes. The call centre is manned from 5.00am to 11.00pm everyday.
Local website
All Franchises and Licensees are provided with a 'local' VIP Limo Services® e-mail address. Using the previous example, the e-mail address for Newlands is newlands@viplimo.co.za or Sandton at sandton@viplimo.co.za.
Exclusive Suburb territories
All Franchises will be provided with an exclusive Suburb (territory) for marketing their VIP Limo Services® business. Territories will typically follow a suburb format, within the Cities of Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Port Elizabeth, East London, George, but some Licensees will be provided with the rights to market under the direction of the Franchise to deal with the geographical and demographic demands. Franchises and Licensees will be able to secure any hire where the collection address falls within their marketing territory. Advertisements would have to make clear the territory covered and all advertising with the VIP Limo Services® trading style will conform to a strict format.
Advice and support
The VIP Limo Services® programme will provide sources for specialist insurance (private hire and public liability), vehicle acquisitions, vehicle financing and so on. In some cases special terms are negotiated on behalf of our Franchises and Licensees. In addition, a regular forum is available for advice on trading and operational issues. Our success is built on the success of our Franchises and Licensees and as part of the team, we are keen to make sure that our Franchisees and Licensees avoid some of the obvious (and not so obvious) pitfalls of running a professional chauffeur driven limo hire business.
Central purchasing
The essential part of the value of a brand is consistency. Therefore, we have a central facility which allows the Franchises and Licensees the benefits of collective bulk discounts for purchases. For example, all limousines operated by VIP Limo Services® are required to have a discreet rear bumper sticker with the VIP Limo Services® logo, 0861 VIP LIMO telephone number and main website address. Artwork for marketing collateralls will be held centrally and re-prints will be available on demand. As part of an ongoing support package, VIP Limo Services will be negotiating special rates with suppliers for the benefit of the Franchises and Licensees.
Holiday cover and contingency planning
Working as a team, VIP Limo Services Limited with the support of its Franchises and Licensees can provide contingency planning for holiday cover, sickness or substantial short term increase in business. During holidays or periods of sickness, VIP Limo Services® will provide telephone cover and if required, secure and re-allocate bookings. In addition, as part of our licence agreement, our Franchises and Licensees agree on an 'inter agency hire rate' which will be a pre-agreed hourly rate for supporting neighbouring Franchises and Licensees or to provide cover for a multi-vehicle hire arranged centrally through VIP Limo Services. There will be no requirement to accept the hire, but it will ensure that there is a uniform rate of hire between cooperating Franchises and Licensees. There is considerable merit and financial incentive in being part of a larger team supporting each other.
Generic VIP Limo Services® advertising
It is essential that we deliver a common message and consistent levels of service delivery. In addition, design and layouts for VIP Limo Services® advertising can be expensive as well as hit and miss. Therefore, our Franchisees and Licensees will benefit from generic VIP Limo Services® advertisements for newspaper advertising, promotions and Yellow pages advertising. To ensure that our Franchisees and Licensees are all treated in a fair and equal basis, any advertisements utilising the VIP Limo Services® trading style or logo will follow strict guidelines.
