Appletree

I was first attracted to the Appletree franchise by the low entry cost, but I soon found lots of other reasons why it was just right for me. I wanted flexibility and did not want to be tied down by a fixed routine, Appletree gives me exactly that. Then I liked the product, I liked the people and best of all I love my growing band of customers who are delighted with the service. But best of all is that it’s so easy to operate, nothing technical, very simple and straightforward.

Let’s face it, everyone has a birthday every year and most people have an anniversary of some kind each year, plus most of us like to receive cards from friends and relatives, so I think this is a great business to be in. Appletree have a great range, something for everyone from bright and humorous to stylish and hand made. My only concern was the fact that I knew nothing about merchandising, but Appletree reassured me that they gave full training. In fact they didn’t just train me, they came with me and made sure I knew exactly what I was doing, when I was with real customers in their own shops. I have become quite passionate about what I do, and the community I serve. I used to work in bigger businesses and I now enjoy meeting local people in their own areas. It gives you a feeling of being valued, and that’s great.
