What is earthborn? When you want to set your home apart with those all important little touches you visit your nearest earthborn... earthborn specialises in beautiful and unique homewares and gifts at affordable prices. Our customers appreciate our variety of products and affordable price points, so they come back time after time. Currently we are expanding and developing our brand to create exciting retail franchise opportunities. National Expansion earthborn started in Brisbane in Queensland and is now seeking to expand its service throughout Australia. We are offering franchises to likeminded people who want to operate their own business. We offer a proven unique business model, with outstanding systems and support for you as a franchise owner. We understand there are more than 1200 different franchise opportunities on the market today and that choosing the right franchise for you is about finding the right fit. We can’t tell you what’s right for you. However we can tell you that many different studies have shown that a franchise is more likely to stay in business than a non-franchised business. That’s because a brand name and proven systems help a franchise business stay in business much longer than individually owned businesses. Franchising gives earthborn the advantage of increased visibility in the marketplace, improved name recognition, the increased power of group buying and marketing. We have a dedicated team of people working to grow the business for the benefit of both the franchise owners and the franchisor. The earthborn products and product mix are different to any other offer. Franchising gives you the benefit of the earthborn industry experience and business expertise to help you get started in your new venture. Not only will you receive support from us, but you’ll be part of a growing family of franchisees sharing similar goals and objectives.
