The concept of a franchise enterprise

The business model of the wholesale and retail business of ColorMarket helps to quickly set up processes and reach an operating profit in 3 months. The model has proven its effectiveness in the long term. Since 2010, we have been helping entrepreneurs to launch their own ColorMarket distribution points.

At the heart of the business is an e-commerce solution, a growing network of offline distribution points and delivery points and an integrated “one-stop shop” approach.

The ColorMarket policy is aimed at comprehensive customer satisfaction: a well-selected range of paint and varnish materials, equipment, consumables in the metal, plastic and wood coloring segments, a training system, availability of offers through an online store and a network of distributors in each region of presence, an accounting system, automation of the sales and marketing process using CRM.

The success of the model is ensured by a combination of complex marketing activity in an online and offline environment. Online store: promotion, communication with customers through CPM, customer retention through a loyalty system, a set of lead-generating landing pages. Offline network of distributors and distribution points: product demonstration, convenient and fast access for customers in their region, offline events and networking, providing service support.
