The Opportunity

This is a fashionable, glamorous and exciting opportunity to drive a revolutionary new fashion product," states Sally Allen, who founded the affordable, chic and luxury Glamour To Go brand in the UK in 2004.

'A market ready and waiting for the strong Glamour To Go brand image and affordable chic designs'

A professionally developed fashion retail franchise, Glamour To Go specialises in providing its own-brand range of products targeting the modern woman, aged 25-65 with a 24/7 lifestyle. Available in a selection of designs and colours in an easy care silk-mix fabric, the Glamour To Go range is ideal for 'drop of the hat' party moments. Most outfits come complete with their own matching, hand-beaded drawstring bags, which can double as travel pouches or evening purses. Sally explains: "These products are ideal for travel, going out straight from the office, or to keep in a handbag to ensure that you can look a million dollars at a moment's notice."

Following the opening of the Glamour To Go office and demonstration suite in October, the brand is now pushing ahead with is franchise development programme, which will see it establish itself as a high street name in cities across the UK.

"We've had a fantastic response to our new office, with people turning up from all over the country," Sally relates.

"It is the result of many months of dedicated testing and development of the Glamour To Go brand, product range and sales channels, specifically with the franchise market in mind. With interest in and sales of Glamour To Go products growing rapidly around the world, we now intend to establish a national network of Glamour To Go high street franchised retail outlets."

This is a ground floor, turnkey retail opportunity that has been developed under the professional guidance of international franchise consultancy Franchise Development Services. "We know our business and our markets, we have a success story so far to point to, and we have put together an impressive and exciting package," reflects Sally. "Since the launch, we have constantly tested the marketplace for pricing and quality through mail order, events, and the internet. This is a ground floor opportunity to get involved in a truly exciting fashion retail brand."

The retail franchise package has been designed to suit potential franchisees with no previous retail or fashion experience, as franchisees will have access to a complete high street retail package, which they will put into practice through their own networks of stores. To enable franchisees to concentrate on running their businesses, Glamour To Go head office will directly supply the brand's complete product range, develop new products and designs at least twice a year, compile new catalogues and generate marketing initiatives.

Glamour To Go is looking for disciplined and capable people who can fund at least £100,000 through personal finance and/or bank support. Sally assures: "We are confident that an extensive market exists between low-cost, mass market and top end luxury brands - a market ready and waiting for the strong Glamour To Go brand image and affordable chic designs."
