The sweet (and healthy) taste of success…Natural Fruit Franchise Group’s Business Builder Program makes selling 100% natural Chunks O’ Fruti® frozen fruit bars an even sweeter deal for hardworking franchisees.

HIALEAH, FLORIDA…

When Natural Fruit Franchise Group (NFFG) launched its franchise offering, it had all the necessary ingredients for success. A relatively low franchise fee. No royalty fees. And two great lines of products—NFFG’s 100% natural Chunks O’ Fruti® frozen fruit bars and Mars ice cream products—to capitalize on the trend towards “better for you” foods and America’s love of ice cream and desserts. The real sweetener to the deal is NFFG’s Business Builder program, which reinvests a percentage of product sales towards the purchase of additional freezers for successful franchise owners.

“We’re looking to support the growth of our franchisees. For us it’s all about the sale of our products,” said Susan Morris, senior vice president for Natural Fruit Corporation (NFC). “The best way to do that is to attract franchise owners who have the initial investment and, just as importantly, the drive to get out there and place freezers that move our products.”

The Business Builder Program enables new franchise owners to lease the initial 78 freezers, truck and storage space to get their business off the ground. As the franchise owner places those freezers in retail outlets like their local convenience stores, hospital cafeterias, schools, independent grocery stores, deli’s, family style restaurants, swim clubs and other high-traffic locations, NFC and Mars will reinvest part of the product sales towards freezer purchases after the initial 78 freezers have been placed.

“In effect, we’re giving our franchise owners the opportunity to purchase freezers after the initial 78 have been placed, funded by the sales from those freezers.  It does not cost the franchisee any additional capital; Natural Fruit and Mars also significantly invest in those freezers,” said Morris.

NFFG offers placement assistance and marketing support to help franchise owners identify retail outlets for their freezers as part of its franchise offering. It also provides assistance with leasing storage space for the initial inventory of Mars ice cream products, which include perennial favorites like Twix, Snickers, M&Ms and Dove bars, and Chunks O’ Fruti® frozen fruit bars.

Chunks O’Fruti® frozen fruit bars are 100% natural, with no added color or flavors; all the flavor and color come directly from the fruits. The fruit is spread evenly throughout each bar by a proprietary manufacturing process so real fruit is in almost every bite. Low in calories and actually good for you, Chunks O’ Fruti® offers 20 mouthwatering flavors to choose from including: strawberry, pineapple, lime, strawberry colada and coconutto name a few.

“With people paying closer attention to eating better, particularly parents being more mindful of the foods their children eat, the upside to the Chunks O’ Fruti® franchise opportunity is substantial,” said Morris. “Couple that with the fact that 90 percent of US households consume ice cream and frozen desserts and that sales for the packaged snacks industry are projected to rise from $68 billion in 2008 to $82 billion by 2013 and you have a home-based franchise opportunity where the right franchisee can enjoy success for a long time to come.”

The initial investment, including financing, can range from $75,000 to $101,000 depending on whether you lease or purchase trucks and storage space. The initial offering includes: 

  • Franchise Fee $25,000
  • Minimum of 75 freezers (lease option: 3 years @ $24.54/mo.  $1 buyout)
  • Truck with freezer body (lease option)
  • Leased space in freezer warehouse
  • Computer hardware and software
  • Initial Fruti® and Mars products inventory
  • Initial training and freezer placement service
  • Sales and marketing materials
  • Mobile route management equipment and software

Each franchisee is given an exclusive territory with a capacity for 1,000 freezers. Franchisees are then responsible for negotiating with merchants to place a Chunks O Fruti® freezer at the location, keeping those locations stocked and acquiring new locations.

Fruti® franchises are available across the U.S. For complete information on Fruti®’s franchise offering, please visit www.frutifranchise.com or contact Bruce Wildes, Acadia Business Advisors, LLC at 207 370 8210 or info@acadiabiz.com.

A service call for Plymouth South automotive students…Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac hosts hybrid training for vocational school students.

Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac Technician
Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac Technician Steve Rasch instructs Plymouth South students on hybrid technology.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

For three years running, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac has honored local students through its Driven Student program. This program recognizes students going above and beyond,  inside and outside the classroom. For the month of April, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac chose to honor automotive students in Plymouth South High School’s Technical Studies program.

While the typical Driven Student celebration involves a pizza party at the school, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac provided these budding mechanics with something a bit more valuable: a training session on hybrid technology at the dealership.

“Even though hybrid cars have been around a while, our students really haven’t exposure to them through our programs because the vehicles typically have five-year warranties and the owners bring them into the dealership for service instead of our shop at the school,” said Randy Cabral, automotive instructor at Plymouth South. “Being invited down here to see that technology up close is a phenomenal experience for our students.”

Rick McGue, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac service manager, led the training session. That included looking under the hood of two hybrids, one of those vehicles belonging to Bruins legend Bobby Orr. Tracy Service Technician Steve Rasch also provided instruction on the hybrid technology and answered questions in between servicing the vehicles.

“The service component of our business is critical to the success or failure of a dealership,” said Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. “By having the kids visit the dealership, we’re hopefully doing more than showing them a new technology but demonstrating the critical role they can play in our industry.”

Taking part in the training were: Michel Jacobson, Jake Waters, Cam Nwell, Billy Stevenson, Doug Duyette, Devin Ford, Jon Flaherty and Nick Luke, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac’s Driven Student program recognizes Plymouth high school students for their performance and achievements in and out of the classroom. Awarded on a monthly basis, recipients are selected by faculty and advisors at the student’s given school.

So easy at Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac

For more than 80 years and three generations of dealers, the Tracy family has made it so easy for customers on the South Shore and greater Plymouth area to purchase new and used automobiles. Since its beginnings in 1992, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac has emphasized first-rate customer service and straightforward, bottom-line pricing with fair trade-ins every time–without the games or gimmicks you find at other dealerships. For more information on new and used trucks and automobiles, you can go to www.tracymotors.com or stop by the dealership, conveniently located at 137 Samoset Street, just off exit 6 on Route 3. For more information, or to make a service appointment, you can also call (800) 640-2884.

Rodman & Rodman, P.C. Shares Cash Flow Tips for Small Business

Statistics show that in a good economy, approximately one third of all small businesses do not survive their first year of business. Approximately two-thirds do not survive year three. The primary reason a business fails is poor financial management, which in many cases is preventable.

So how can a small business survive in a bad economy? Larry Rice, CPA, Director of Strategic Consulting of Rodman & Rodman, P.C., Certified Public Accountants and business strategists catering to small and medium sized companies throughout New England, outlines critical cash flow tips for small business owners to help them weather a bad economy and beyond.

Create a cash flow projection or plan. Every small business should measure projected cash flow one year forward. That projection should be updated on a quarterly basis. A good cash flow projection starts with a good sales projection. Use historical data and be sure to consider any changes in your environment such as competition, economic change, etc. Once you have that sales projection, then it is a matter of translating those sales into the time frames that you get paid for those sales. When you place the payment for those expenses along side the receipt of revenues, you’ve created a cash flow projection.

Plan appropriately for capital expenditures. Due to an aversion of debt, many business owners pay cash for significant corporate assets. This can lead to a cash flow disaster. A good rule of thumb is that all long term assets should be financed over the expected life of those assets. If you are going to buy a machine that will last 10 years, you should seek to finance it over those 10 years. The idea is to match the outflows (the payment for the assets) to the time you expect to generate inflows (sales) from the use of that asset.

Better your credit management. Eager to make any sales, some owners do not have strong credit policies. The worst of all cash flow problems is to expend all the resources to make a product or provide a service, and then not get paid for it. Small business can not be too eager to have just any customers; they need to have the right customers. Go after the customers you want, not the customers who will waste your energy as you chase them to get paid.

Manage suppliers. Small business often pays its bills at designated times, which often are too early. Sometimes this is for convenience but can be dangerous to cash flow. Bills should be
paid timely to maintain good customer relations, but as close to the due date as possible. Seek opportunities for taking the better discounts for prompt payment from suppliers.

Manage inventory. Sometimes owners do not want to rid themselves of stale inventory at a discount, hoping that some customer will appear to pay full price. Sometimes the best course is to get rid of the inventory and use the cash for other more practical purposes.

Maintain a good relationship with a bank/lending officer. Not all credit decisions are objective. By maintaining positive communications, sometimes credit which might not be available can be secured when you maintain an open dialogue

According to Rice, “The most important financial statement is not the Balance Sheet or Profit and Loss; it is the Cash Flow Statement. Only the cash flow statement tells you how much cash your business is generating from operations. A very profitable company can still fail if the cash flow isn’t there to sustain that profit. Bottom line: more businesses fail because of poor cash flow than poor profit. Good cash flow planning is the key to small business success in any economy.”

Part(s) of the solution. A finely tuned machine for shipping time-critical equipment and replacement parts…G-Force Shipping announces Industrial Machinery Products division.

HANOVER, MASSACHUSETTS…

Chances are when a customer orders a compressor, pump or other piece of industrial machinery, they need it yesterday—usually for a repair critical to their operation. Those deliveries can be anything from a small part, to a 600-pound pump, to a 7,000-pound air compressor. To best accommodate deliveries of that broad of a nature, G-Force Shipping, a third-party logistics provider, has created an Industrial Machinery division.

Part of G-Force’s reasoning for introducing this Machinery division stems from how manufacturers ship these products. Typically, the manufacturer will have its own fleet of trucks for shipping—and the expense that goes along with that—or it will employ a third-party company to drop-ship items. With G-Force’s new division, manufacturers have the convenience of the drop-ship alternative with improved tracking capabilities and follow-up from a seasoned staff of shipping experts.

“When it comes to delivery of industrial machinery, time is literally money because these items are used to repair something needed for the operation of a company. So, the follow through on getting that shipment delivered on time and without incident is critical,” said Gordie Macfarlane, president of G-Force Shipping. “With this special division and the easy to access web-based tools we offer, manufacturers and dealers can track multiple shipments from start to finish without the heartburn of sorting through multiple carriers’ websites and shipping documents.”

G-Force’s Jason McDonough will lead the Industrial Machinery Division. The benefits this new division provides manufacturers and distributors include:

  • Consultation on National Motor Freight Classifications (NMFC’s) – G-Force Shipping offers customer service assistance and resources to properly classify industrial machinery shipments, ranging from Class 50 items to Class 500. G-Force will also dispute any charges on customers’ behalf if the shipment is re-classified.
  • Proper placement of shipment – Via Web site or customer service representative,        G-Force works with carriers to make sure that industrial machinery is not stacked in the truck to prevent claims.
  • Insurance – Some industrial machinery shipments will require a higher insurance value than others. G-Force can provide information and recommendations to ensure the shipment has the appropriate liability coverage. 
  • Carrier Specific Services and Fees – G-Force’s knowledge of the pricing and capabilities of more than 80 carriers is a resource that is available to Industrial Machinery customers.
  • Cost savings – G-Force customers spend more than $100 million with its carrier partners, which can be leveraged to provide optimal savings –  typically, saving  its customers up to  15 percent.

“Industrial machinery companies face a great number of challenges and there’s a real pressure for deliveries to be on-time and mistake-free,” said Macfarlane. “With this new division, manufacturers and their distributors have a 24/7 resource to ensure the safe, timely and cost-effective shipment of their machinery.”

In addition to its services tailored toward wholesale industrial machinery companies, G-Force Shipping provides all its customers an easy-to-use, web-based shipping utility, www.GForceship.com, which delivers instant quotes and multiple carrier choices in seconds. There’s no long-term commitment. Access to a free on-line account or a toll free number is all G-Force customers need. The only fees associated with an account are those directly connected to the shipping costs.

For more information, please call 877-7-GFORCE or visit www.gforceship.com.

More carriers, more choices, more savings.

G Force Shipping and Consulting, Inc. is a non asset based third-party logistics provider based in Hanover, Massachusetts. Through its Web site, www.gforceship.com, G-Force provides its customers with direct access to quotes from more than 80 carriers on LTL, FTL and small parcel shipments. In addition to helping customers find the right shipping company at the right price, G-Force offers white glove service that includes 24/7 customer service, freight consulting services, online warehouse management capabilities and much, much more.
