Franchise Solutions’ Business Directory Features Consulting Concepts in Some of the Top Industries

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct 28, 2009 -
Some of the most recent, marked societal shifts have resulted from the widespread popularity of social media sites and the adoption of green living practices. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other social media sites have changed the way people communicate and how businesses market their products and services. The green movement has become a way of life for many eco-conscious consumers and businesses that rely on a wide range of sustainable products and solutions. Businesses and consumers recognize the benefits that social media sites and green products and services offer; and are turning to professional consultants in these fields for expert guidance. Franchise Solutions’ online business directory (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/) features consulting opportunities that let aspiring business owners tap into this demand.  

ChirpSpot is a social media marketing franchise opportunity (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/franchise/ChirpSpot_LL ...) that offers would-be franchisees the chance to become part of a thriving, in-demand sector. While many companies understand the importance of promoting their products and services on social media sites, many lack the knowledge, time and resources necessary to develop and execute effective social media marketing campaigns. Therefore, outsourcing the task to consultants, like ChirpSpot franchisees, has become a common business practice. ChirpSpot franchisees take an active leadership role in their clients’ social media strategy and create and manage their social media campaign for them.

In addition to owning a business that’s on the cutting edge of industry trends, ChipSpot franchisees also benefit from owning a low-overhead franchise that can be run from a home office. Neither inventory, nor employees, is required and franchisees can get into business quickly. Franchisees receive the training, systems and support necessary to run a professional social media consulting and management business.

Previous industry experience also isn’t a prerequisite for becoming a Certified Green Consultant. With Eco Institution’s Certified Green Consultant program (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/franchise/ECO_INSTITUT ...), prospective business owners receive the tools and information that they need to build, operate, market and promote their own green consulting practice. The program includes a comprehensive course and a “start up” marketing kit. Upon completion of the course, Certified Green Consultants can deliver “green” inspections and improvement services to residential and business clients. The audits that Certified Green Consultants conduct identify opportunities for reducing energy and water consumption and can ultimately help clients cut costs.

The Eco Institution Certified Green Consultant business opportunity lets business owners gain entry into the flourishing green industry. According to a 2009 Pew Charitable Trust Report, “Job growth in the clean-energy economy outperformed total job growth in 38 states and the District of Columbia between 1998 and 2008.” And the industry is expected to experience continued growth. President Obama has committed to doubling U.S. renewable energy by 2012, and plans to invest $150 billion over 10 years toward the nation's clean energy economy.
