Just a few key benefits

Customer service is a priority with free nutritional advice, free home delivery, one stop shopping and free samples, all being available to the Trophy franchise to promote to their customers. Trophy works closely with each new franchisee to establish a large customer base within the first few months. With a 'try before you buy' policy experienced franchisees can expect a 50-60% take up rate and a high customer retention rate. Price, service, product choice, free home delivery, free nutritional consultations etc are all relevant factors for your customers switching to The Complete Trophy Pet Care Service.
