How did Christine Taylor succeed in evolving the local dog-washing service she developed as a teenager into an international franchise business?

Christine Taylor grew up as a child in a physical environment that allowed her to succeed. She worked in a bait and tackle business that was owned by her parents in which the only thing acceptable was hard work. This environment allowed her to study hard in school and create a drive within her to succeed. Through her studies and research, you decided that she wanted her business model to be a franchise with Aussie Pooch Mobile. Christine felt that this will be the best way to grow and expand her business. She also knew that there is a market for her mobile dog wash business but it required bringing on the right people (franchisees), with a good business model that was low in fees and the processes & training offered by APM. She also believed that focused in a niche business and a great promotional strategy will allow Aussie Pooch Mobile to attract customers as well as new franchisees. Her use of designing the trailers to be a moving billboard will give her great word of mouth advertising. The process and design of her business will enable franchisees to deliver both quality & efficient dog washing service.

In planning for future expansion, what strategy should Christine Taylor adopt for APM and why?

Australia is a large territory that will have pockets in which the population is very dense. Christine Taylor’s Aussie Pooch Mobile concept will only succeed in geographical areas that are highly populated and modernized. In order for her franchisees to have utilities hook up for water & electricity, she realizes that she must expand to suburban type landscapes. Being in a populated area, this will allow word of mouth advertising that will foster new and repeat customers. Having the potential to make money will attract and recruit new franchisees to buy into APM’s concept. In looking at the charts

    Liz would have to make a conscious decision about how she wants to institute a strategic management process. The planning process may appear linear and inflexible; however, it is a continuous, evolving process which allows firms to shape both their planning approaches and the content of their plans to fit the organization's market perspectives and strategic positions. The methodology for deciding what the process should entail is entirely up to the owner/manager, although decision-makers from all three levels of the company (corporate, business, functional) should be included. While strategic management does analyze the firm's internal operations, it also examines the firm's external environment.…

    Christine turned her childhood job into an international franchise by having a few strengths to set her apart from others, one she had a brand and concept that had a few competitors at the time. Also she was able to understand what the customer wanted because of her early exposure to customer service skills. Plus she was able to see that there was a demand for this service by her customers. She was focused and determined, even when pregnant she was thinking of ways to expand, but to expand in the right way, she didn’t want to take on new services that made her into an “all in one concept.” She wanted to be the best at bath services not a “pet shop on wheels.” Finally she had a good foundation of word of mouth which then helped her to expand into advertising and advertorials. She succeeded with franchising by using a Master franchising system and passed that down to her franchisees to run their business their way but under her method.…
