So you’ve decided to take the leap and open a health and wellness franchise location, and now it’s time for step number two: deciding which business to choose from. As a part of your research and decision process, you visit several health and wellness franchises in the area to see what each enterprise is really all about.
The first health and wellness franchise option is an urgent care facility. Walking in, you just feel uncomfortable. While sterile, it reminds you of the Emergency Room when you had your appendix taken out, which wasn’t an experience you remembered too fondly. The walls, floor, and uniforms were different shades of that terrible taupe, and the vibe felt just like the color brown. The staff was terse and in a hurry, and you realized that this was not the franchise opportunity for you.
Your second option as a potential investment appears to be more focused on preventative health. Location number two is more colorful and notably less tense, but you aren’t entirely sure what products and services they offer. You approach the counter to speak with a staff member, and a sulky teenager dressed in spikes and leather comes from the back to give you a glare. You ask about services provided, safety measures taken, and franchisee support, and each question was answered with a single syllable and a shrug. Whether or not location number two is a good fit is difficult to say because you could glean almost no information from the recon mission. However, you decide that you certainly want to franchise with an enterprise with knowledgeable staff and informative resources available.
Finally, you arrive at location number three and note immediately that it has a creative and reassuring name, Liquivida. Inside is a spa-like, clean environment with comfortable lounge chairs and soft music. A staff member eagerly engages you, addresses your questions and helps devise plans to accomplish your goals the Liquivida way. Liquivida feels like home, and you are excited to provide that feeling to future clients at your own Liquivida facility.
The Liquivida Way
Founded by Samael Tejada, a former firefighter-paramedic, Liquivida is a growing health and wellness franchise which has focused on safety and compliance since its inception. Under Sam’s leadership, Liquivida is actually setting the standard and rallying the troops in best practices for other growing wellness franchises. At the recent IV BizBash, Sam discussed the need for standardization and the highest attention to sanitation practices to help clients feel safe with their therapy sessions. Sam also notes that Liquivida offers prescribed products to meet the needs of individual clients, and their products are safe, sterile, compliant, and free from preservatives. They also offer the best therapeutic doses of nutrients. “You can’t just go and give someone an IV just to give them an IV. There are steps we have to take to protect ourselves.”
Liquivida also staffs their locations with certified estheticians and medical professionals. In addition to Dr. Christopher Davis, the Chief Medical Officer of the Liquivida enterprise, Liquivida employs many other licensed medical professionals, including doctors, doctors of chiropractic, physician assistants, and advanced practice registered nurses to provide clients with the best and most knowledgeable care. Sam says that Liquivida’s goals go beyond selling products because they want to promote results with a positive customer experience. “The Wellness side is really where the focus is. We want to make people well.”
Liquivida also offers game changing resources for their franchisees to open a location with confidence. One option for franchising with Liquivida is to open a Wellness Center, which includes all the preventative wellness programs that Liquivida has to offer such as weight loss management, beauty and skin care regimens, age management treatments, and hormone replacement and sexual health solutions.
The second franchising option is to work within an established medical office and provide Liquivida’s trademarked vitamin infusion IV kits, where Liquivida experts have done all of the “mad scientist math” for you, and the professionals simply need to draw the fluid from the vial, inject it into the IV bag, and they are ready to go. Since starting the vitamin infusion IV kits four years ago, over 4,000 doctors are administering Liquivida products within their own practices across the country. Both franchising opportunities allow franchisees to “maximize their earnings and tap into Liquivida’s corporate marketing, legal support, and management support.”
Finally, franchising with Liquivida allows you to be a part of a growing business with the goal to change lives. In addition to offering the highest quality IV products on the market, Liquivida promotes their “Vida Journey,” where licensed medical professionals determine the current health for each individual client, and then can use that data to measure change as the client receives more Liquivida treatments and as they age. Liquivida understands that goals may change as clients age, and they use their bloodwork to recommend specific IV therapies. Liquivida’s Chief Marketing Officer, Emmanuel Trenche, notes that the specialized treatment plans help to set Liquivida apart from the other health and wellness franchises. “That journey is really what makes us different. We do want to be there with our client every step of the way as they age, and you know there’s going to be milestones that will trigger a different kind of approach.” Liquivida wants clients for life, instead of just for the day, and they hope to help clients feel younger and more confident than they have in years.
Higher Standards for an Elevated Experience
Liquivida understands that the number of franchise choices can be daunting. However, each Liquivida franchise location strives to offer the most welcoming, safe, and knowledgeable experience around so that each person walking into the door, whether a potential investor or a vitamin deficient citizen looking for more information, feels at home. They are reputable and have been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Yahoo! Finance. Liquivida prides itself on following and setting stringent safety standards for themselves and other franchises in the wellness industry. They hire licensed medical professionals and estheticians to perform care, and they always pursue the best and most personalized customer care available.
By investing in a Liquivida franchise, you can bring a calming setting of healing to your hometown. Your choice is made: no more uncomfortable interactions or uncomfortable settings. Liquivida franchises can offer everything you’ve been looking for and more.
