What Potential Franchisees Often Ask.

Do I have a protected territory?
Yes. Each territory is typically defined by counties and/or zip codes.

Who buys our service?
We rely on a combination of selling to end-users (residential homeowners) and trade partners (other service contractors, builders, landscape architects, etc.).

Buyers of outdoor lighting typically have higher household incomes. In keeping with this upscale profile, their homes are more elaborate, and have extensive landscaping. Many have waterfront access or live in exclusive gated communities. We have data to support these customer demographics which will be discussed with you in detail should you proceed in acquiring a franchise.

Why do people invest in outdoor lighting?
There are two primary reasons: First, homeowners want to accent their home and landscaping investment for nighttime enjoyment. Second, it provides an immeasurable level of safety and security.

What kind of ongoing training and support do you offer?
Training and support are our passion at Outdoor Lighting Perspectives—not just hollow promises. We provide field and classroom training programs along with one on one coaching on a continuous basis. For confirmation, simply call any of our franchise owners and just ask. You will learn that our commitment to your success goes far beyond just a simple start up program.

Is the sale of Outdoor Lighting products difficult?
Remember, our sales are "good news" sales since people want our products and services. Through our comprehensive advertising, prospect qualification, and home demonstration program, you are positioned to succeed.

Where do I buy light fixtures and other items?
A key benefit as a franchise owner is our combined network buying power. As a national outdoor lighting franchise, we provide sources for light fixtures, transformers, and miscellaneous supplies. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives has its exclusive manufacturer – B&B Manufacturing – whose sole distribution channel is our franchisees.

Is the company name protected?

But that’s just the beginning. Our local franchise owners are also proudly involved in many trade associations throughout their states and individual communities.

Recognizing the value of networking and referral partnering, it is also important to note that we are continually focused on also creating key reciprocal trade alliances relationships, especially within the outdoor living category, such as with Archadeck®, America’s Deck Builder.™
