VistaGram® Franchise Package

A unique business opportunity

The VistaGram® Franchise Package is predominately the selling of advertising on the interactive website and the unique, patented Little Book. In addition the package offers a range of promotional products that can be sold on a continual cycle. Your first campaign should in any event produce a good profit; however, subsequent campaigns cost less so the profit spirals.

The VistaGram® Franchise package offers an exciting and interesting career and high job satisfaction. Working closely with town dignitaries, businesses and the media brings a new aspect to both your business and leisure activities. In fact the VistaGram® becomes not just a business but a way of life.

The franchise package can encompass exclusively one or more cities or towns. The more business developed within each location the higher the profit. The higher the exposure and your integrity appreciated, the greater repeat business.

The Company

Silvermaze specialise in the production and print of maps, particularly in the VistaGram Little Book format. Although in the main we service our own clients we are also trusted to act for other map companies in both a production and consultative capacity.

We are business partners of the UK°s National Map Centre and Ordnance Survey. We are members of the International Map Traders Association, Federation of Small Business and the UK°s Export and Investment Scheme.

Key members of our staff have been involved in huge mapping projects like the re-mapping of Nigeria and eleven towns; Sierra Leone and her capital Freetown; and have helped bring innovative mapping styles to the market, which are now accepted as the norm in the mapping world.

The Market

Leisure, Retail and Tourism are today second only to the Financial and Communications in the league of Growth Industries. A cursory glance at the business section of any major newspaper or the proliferation of websites advertising holidays, hotels, flights etc., will verify this.

In this exciting area of development, good maps come into their own as a unique tool to promote the facilities at these tourist destinations effectively. It is a fact, that quality maps are seldom discarded and the VistaGram® style, which crosses all language barriers, with the added innovation of it°s patented Little Book format and interactive website, will ensure the map is used and shown to others. Thus the distribution becomes self perpetuating and continues to promote the advertisers to visitors and tourists alike for some considerable time.

Walk through any town and your market surrounds you. Every shop, restaurant, bar, hotel, cinema, theatre, gym, bank, tourist site; in fact any business dealing with the public is a potential advertiser.

Most of the these businesses advertise in some way whether it be in magazines or directories or on the web and in some cases television but sadly the truth is that visitors to an area don°t read local papers nor watch television. They do check out the Internet but it is unlikely that the site will prove as comprehensive as the VistaGram® site nor will users be able to order or collect a paper version that slips into their top pocket. The website promotes the map and the map promotes the website.

Remember, advertising is at its most effective when on a product you need to use.
