If you have a drop Quickdrop eBay Store Franchise What will you do now?


QuikDrop says goodbye ...

In an article written by Ina Steiner of AuctionBytes.com this morning, we report that QuikDrop, one of the largest drop off franchise of America eBay store, is closing in franchise sales and support operations by the end of this month. The current members (business owners) are free to continue the operations of deposit, but will do so without the support of franchise company or software.

... At least one dealer was more concerned notice QuikDrop announced that he would stop shops offer use of its proprietary software program on December 31. Bob Golub, owner of a franchise store QuikDrop Massachusetts, said he was not surprised at the news of the closure, but is concerned about finding replacement software and learn a new program in such a short period of time. "We are all scrambling," said Golub. Retrieved from: Ina Steiner AuctionBytes.com

If you own a franchise Quickdrop what will you do?

She wants to go ahead and continue operations with the latest software and even better provided by a third party as AuctionLogic (powered by AuctionSound)? Or you try to do the shipping with eBay Turbo Lister?

Services are available as AccountingLogic that will help you convert data from existing software or accounting software and import the data into your software new insertion. Learn more modern web-based shipping software suite ad is not as difficult as shop owners Quickdrop could imagine. Training is available through software vendors or their advisors, and ultimately the costs are much lower while the ease of use and efficiency will improve.

My advice would be to assess options and evaluate this change as an opportunity. Quickdrop the entire franchise has been able to give the best Christmas gift possible. But stop the bleeding and the transactions which gave concessions the ability to control their own destiny and run their business as they wish. The reduction in the lead will give each franchise owner breathing room to implement new forms of advertising, website development, and eBay store update options that were available to them as the owner of a franchise.

Beyond highlighting the many valid reasons to avoid the purchase of a shop franchise eBay drop, as previously described in this publication ... This development also brings to the fore a business practice that I believe every entrepreneur should avoid ...

Dependence on a company or organization to provide your business with all its software and branding and, finally, the income ... has plenty of silly. Throw all the proverbial eggs in one basket is unwise in any endeavor, to depend on a company for software and branding is risky.

During this lesson is most clearly demonstrated by this latest development Quickdrop. The same lesson can be applied to the practice of placing all product sales channels like eBay. It is not wise for any entrepreneur to be so totally dependent on the stability, generosity, or whims of another company. If you only sell through eBay or if you have an eBay drop store franchise of any brand, you should take today's news as a wake up call. Look at your operation and analyze where your income is developed. If the stream is a river, then you should diversify. Find a way to sell elsewhere, search for other support options, and review other software vendors ...

Always looking for ways to spread your dependence on others and your business will be healthier and better able to survive when a vendor has developed a bad situation. Your business is no different from an investment portfolio, investing all cash in a store is never well informed ...

Everyone in the family Quickdrop should thank the corporate offices of this decision. There are other software suites available that are easier to use and have better support and are available at a lower cost than the price of a franchise fee and royalty.

Congratulations to all owners of the franchise Quickdrop - you have been freed .......
