The flexible Children's Party and Activity Class Franchise that grows with you...
How did Jabberjacks children's party and activity class franchises get so successful?
The secret of their success so far is that it is a flexible pre-school educational activity class and fun-filled children's party entertainment franchise that grows with you.
Established in 1999, it all began with our first class in Wilmslow, set up by a former Primary Teacher and puppeteer who had a passion for children’s early years. By lifting the lid on a child’s imagination, these classes introduced interactive play through a unique combination of puppets, song, dance and drama and are closely aligned to the Early Years Foundation Stage (E.Y.F.S).
The Jabberjacks Playmates Party for pre-school children closely followed, based on the same principles as the Jabberjacks activity class, yet with more dancing and fun to create that truly special birthday experience.
In 2002 our first Franchise was established which paved the way for children, parents, carers and businesses across the UK to benefit from the Jabberjacks experience. That first Franchisee continues to successfully run her children's party and activity class franchise business and has recently extended her territory which reflects her growing commitment.
With experience, Jabberjacks introduced the Juniors Party for school aged children up to and including 7 years old. These parties are much faster paced than our younger parties with dancing, music and variations on traditional games, ensuring a captive audience every time.
The number of franchises began to increase, mainly through word of mouth, and in 2006 we joined the team and successfully launched the Jabberjacks Leicestershire Franchise. From day one we were passionate and committed to bringing the Jabberjacks experience to as many children in the area as we could. As a consequence of this passion, drive and commitment we started to work with the Management Team, and in 2010 we took over the ownership and management of the Franchising business. Since that time we have strengthened Jabberjacks reputation in the market place with investment in our branding and internet delivery, including social media and continue to welcome more Franchisees to the team.
“I have gained experience from running my own business yet also enjoying contact with other Franchisees. After all these years I still love to see the excitement on the children’s faces as they wait to see what is in the Jabberjacks box!”
Sue Wright, Franchisee – Jabberjacks (Wilmslow, Macclesfield and Knutsford)
Why are Jabberjacks children's party and activity class franchises so successful today?
It is recognised that a franchise business is much more likely to succeed than individuals who set up on their own. A statement that is quite true when it comes to businesses that provide children's entertainment or pre-school educational activity classes where stand alone businesses in these sectors generally suffer from becoming stale, whilst the quality and professionalism tend not to be maintained.
Jabberjacks children's parties and pre-school activity classes have proven themselves to be a winning formula over many years ensuring an enjoyable experience for the children and a profitable business for the Franchisee. With experience in marketing, finance and customer services, and a background in managing our own businesses, we continue to develop this success by keeping training high on the agenda, introducing new initiatives to reflect market changes and developing more activities to ensure our customers keep coming back again and again.
We recognise that the demand for children’s activities continues to grow as many parents and carers don’t have the space, knowledge and confidence to provide these stimulating activities and interactive parties at home. The benefit for our Franchisees is that they are investing in two sectors of the children’s market; educational activities and entertainment. By offering both classes and parties they broaden their target market which increases brand awareness amongst children and their parents and guardians ensuring customer retention over a longer period of time.
