Beautiful, Creative, and Educational Store
As a Russell Watergardens & Koi Franchise Owner, you'll sell high-quality, proprietary water feature and aquatic ecosystem products from a stunningly beautiful retail Galleria Store. And, you'll be much more than a retail and wholesale sales outlet, you'll also function as an important services and educational center for your customers, offering complete contractor referral, design, installation, and after-sales service. In accomplishing this exciting goal, you'll have access to our dynamic business systems. It's at the heart of what makes us so very special.
Fabulous Facilities
The sheer size, beauty and "hands-on" educational nature of your Russell Watergardens & Koi facility makes it a family fun destination - and a tremendous sales tool in and of itself. The store features interactive displays and exhibits that show how, and why things work the way they do. Customers can enjoy and appreciate the capability of seeing and experiencing "working" products in action, rather than trying to visualize them from pictures or text. This fabulous format has the ability to facilitate learning, provide pleasure, and stimulate sales. There is something for everyone. People enjoy feeding the fish, viewing the variety and beauty of the plants or learning how pumps, filters, or skimmers work.
Exclusive High Quality Product Line
Russell Watergardens & Koi is widely known, and recognized as innovators of high quality products, components, and easy to clean filtration systems. Browse this web site to see our proprietary products and systems. Our proprietary products are available exclusively at Russell Watergardens Stores. Unlike the mass-marketed brands that are available most everywhere - our product line is available exclusively in our stores and the corporate web site in which all franchisees become participants.
How does a Russell Watergardens & Koi Store generate revenue?
Retail Sales
At your Russell Watergardens & Koi Store you will retail to the public our exclusive proprietary products as well as non-proprietary products. The Russell Watergardens & Koi Store carries pond and water feature supplies, water plants, Koi and pond fish, water conditioners and algae solutions, and has a complete Fish Pharmacy. Everything from water plant fertilizer to pond filters, pumps to pond fish, plumbing to fountains, and everything in between is on the shelves at your Russell Watergardens & Koi Store. If it has to do with water features - Russell Watergardens & Koi is the place to get it!
The product mix allows you to service not only new customers in the water feature industry - but also existing customers in the water feature industry. Everyone with a water feature - no matter who built it, or what system was used in its construction - needs to maintain it. Your Russell Watergardens & Koi Store stocks a huge selection of products used in the routine maintenance of virtually every conceivable water feature (Excluding swimming pools and hot tubs).
Wholesale Sales
The Russell Watergardens & Koi Store "cuts out the middleman" and acts as its own distributor of our proprietary product line to professional installation contractors. Also, through our established relationships with vendors, non-proprietary items such as water plants, PVC plumbing parts, liners, Koi and other items are also offered to licensed contractors at wholesale pricing levels.
The Russell Watergardens & Koi Store itself helps licensed contractors sell installation jobs. Russell Watergardens & Koi Friendly Customer Service Associates are trained in helping contractors answer all their customers questions, specify complete component packages, and offer design assistance.
Contractors often bring their clients into a Russell Watergardens & Koi Store to show the customer what they can build for them, show their customers what components will be used in the design, and how the customer will maintain their water feature when the contractor is finished building it. This helps sales by developing mutually beneficial relationships with contractors, and the contractor's customers.
Installation Sales
Some, but not all, Russell Watergardens & Koi Franchise Stores offer in-house installation crews. All Russell Watergardens & Koi Stores, whether they offer installation services or not will have a referral network. Some stores may sub-contract installation work. Installation sales can be a valuable revenue source as well as a vibrant referral network. Installation referrals generate wholesale product sales.
Service Call Sales
With the growing popularity of ponds and water features, Service Calls can be an additional revenue stream. Cleaning water features, repairing water features, replacing individual components such as pumps or underwater lighting fixture light bulbs, upgrading filtration systems, and even pruning water plants are all part of the growing Service Call sector of water features.
Training, Training, and Training
Another huge benefit of owning your own Russell Watergardens & Koi Franchise Store is the unparalleled training you receive. You receive intense training at our corporate headquarters, "on-the-job" training at your store and ongoing training and education - both at corporate headquarters and your store. If ever a question arises that isn't covered in any of the training classes, or in your very own Operations Manual - you're never more than a phone call or an email away from help.
With a Russell Watergardens & Koi Franchise Store, you're in business FOR yourself, but not in business BY yourself! You'll be part of a winning team that's changing the way our industry does business!
