Z-CoiL Footwear Franchise Helps Improve People's Lives

    ALBUQUERQUE, NM, April 06, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear is changing people's lives, one pair of shoes at a time. The shoes not only have a huge impact on customers who wear them, but also on franchisees who own and operate the stores!

The footwear can relieve many painful conditions typically caused by running, walking or even standing for long stretches of time, as well as pain associated with medically-diagnosed conditions, including heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, lower back pain, sciatica, arthritis and other common joint pains. The custom-fit shoes are engineered to help ease foot, leg and back pain by reducing impact to the body.

Z-CoiL's ultimate goal is to bring pain relief to everyone, everywhere, and this is being accomplished through franchising. The potential market for the footwear is huge, and largely untapped. Franchisees have an opportunity to get in on the ground-floor of an industry that is still in its infancy with a product that offers the potential for remarkable growth, considering that 75% of Americans will experience problems with their feet, and 80% will suffer lower back pain.

The footwear was first introduced in 1995 as the best running shoe ever. By 2000, independent dealers were springing up across the country, nearly all of them Z-CoiL customers who felt their lives had been changed by the shoes, and who wanted to bring their own miraculous experience with Z-CoiL to others suffering foot, leg or back pain.

In 2005, the company began franchising and currently has a network of over 230 retail locations throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, with 65 of them being franchises. Z-CoiL ranks as one of the fastest growing franchises in the nation in Franchise Times' Fast 55, and has been named the #14 Top New Franchise in 2010 by Entrepreneur Magazine.

Z-CoiL's start-up costs are low compared to most brick-and-mortar franchises. The company also allows more flexibility in the way franchisees run their business than do other, more traditional franchises. Plus, rather than charging a monthly fee for marketing expenses, Z-CoiL returns a percentage of the franchisee's footwear purchases to assist with their marketing expenses.

No footwear industry experience is necessary to become a franchisee. Z-CoiL provides comprehensive, hands-on training, in which franchisees practice making adjustments to their own Z-CoiL footwear, and also work with actual customers in the flagship corporate store in Albuquerque NM. Franchisees also receive ongoing support with a corporate liaison dedicated to the franchisee's continued success, a retailer support website, monthly newsletter, marketing toolkit and more. Plus, regional re-training is held periodically to hone skills and keep the information fresh and up-to-date.

Many medical professionals actually recommend Z-CoiL footwear to their patients. The company has also received hundreds of testimonials from customers who claim that, without the footwear, they cannot walk or work without pain. Few franchise opportunities provide such a wonderful sense of satisfaction.
