300 sites is what you should aim to build up to within the first month and this will give you a good income. A good strategy in this business to improve your income without working longer hours, is to simply place more boxes. This will afford you the luxury to be able to leave your boxes for longer than normal before refilling them, to give them more time to be used up. Therefore, you will be collecting larger amounts of cash on each visit. 450 boxes is what to aim for longer term.

As this is your business you will have the luxury to decide what hours and what days to work, which makes this a very desirable business to run if you have children at school. The more time you put in, the more income you will generate. For a well managed round, a 7-8 hour day should generate an income between £600 – £700 per week.

No, you are simply leaving a box at a customers premises without any obligation from them, just as if you were placing a vending machine. The fact that the charity is for children, ensures a welcome mood and makes placing boxes easy, as customers prefer to support children’s charities.

Unlike others in this field, we give our franchisees the option to use our bespoke database package. This is a fantastic tool that saves a lot of time working out which customers are due a visit and printing out those customers in a logical order. Its simple to use.  

Yes, really easy. Imagine you were the manager working in an office with several staff. Someone pops in carrying a children’s charity snack box full of lovely tempting items and asks you if you’d mind them leaving it there for the staff to use in order to help raise money for the children’s charity. Wouldn’t you say yes! Its that simple.
