Vancouver-based Brian Scudamore aims to use his 1-888-Wow-1Day! business model to transform the house-painting industry in the same way as his 1-800-Got-Junk? revolutionized junk removal.
Scudamore is applying a similar business model to 1-888-Wow-1Day! He has lined up franchisees in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and Texas, California and Washington states.
1-888-Wow-1Day! offers a standardized approach to house painting and promises to paint as much of a home as a customer wants within a 24-hour period. "The painting market is much larger than the junk removal market, and it is highly fragmented," Scudamore said.
"We're bringing our systems and infrastructure from 1-800-Got-Junk? - our call centre, our marketing systems, our public relations systems, our training systems.
"We will be able to leverage that and get the business growing quickly."
