The Perfect Work–Life Balance – With Uncapped Earning Potential

Established in 2005, The Cryer is a successful lifestyle magazine brand offering an exciting franchise opportunity for anyone looking to build their own business without sacrificing their lifestyle.

Imagine running a creative, established business from home, choosing the hours that work for you and having the flexibility to organise your working week around family, holidays and the things that matter to you. With low overheads and uncapped earning potential, The Cryer franchise gives you the freedom of working for yourself, backed by a proven business model and more than 20 years of publishing experience.

The Cryer has built a strong reputation for producing high-quality lifestyle magazines combining local content with homes and interiors, food and drink, travel, fashion, beauty, health and wellbeing and engaging interviews. Its attractive editorial environment provides local businesses with an effective platform to promote themselves, creating a strong advertising-led revenue model.

Be Your Own Boss – Without Starting From Scratch

Starting a completely new business can be daunting. With The Cryer, much of the groundwork has already been done.

Franchisees benefit from an established brand, proven magazine format, publishing knowledge, tried-and-tested advertising model and ongoing training and support. You have the independence of running your own business while having an experienced team behind you.

The business can be operated from home, meaning there is no requirement for expensive commercial premises and overheads can be kept low. Your diary can be organised around you, making this particularly attractive to anyone seeking a business that can fit around their life rather than dominate it.

And importantly, your earnings aren’t capped by a salary. The more you develop your advertising client base and grow your territory, the greater the opportunity to increase your revenue and build a valuable business of your own.

Multiple Opportunities for Growth

While print remains at the heart of The Cryer, the business also offers considerable scope for digital growth.

Franchisees can develop their magazine’s online and social presence, expand digital advertising opportunities, create additional commercial partnerships and introduce new revenue streams alongside traditional print advertising.

There is also the opportunity to build long-term relationships with businesses within your territory, creating repeat advertising revenue and becoming an important part of the local business community.

The model is flexible and scalable. You can choose to operate a successful owner-managed magazine or, if your ambitions are bigger, grow your client base, team and territory over time.

A Business You Can Enjoy Running

The Cryer isn’t simply about selling advertising. It’s an opportunity to become involved in your local area, meet interesting people, discover new businesses and create a publication that people genuinely enjoy receiving.

One week you might be talking to an interiors business, the next discovering a new restaurant, hotel, beauty brand or independent retailer. It is a varied, sociable and creative business with the freedom that comes from being your own boss.

For someone looking for a change of direction, a return to work, greater independence or simply a better balance between work and life, The Cryer offers the opportunity to build something of your own without having to start from zero.

Work from home. Choose your hours. Be your own boss. Enjoy uncapped earning potential. And build a successful business around the life you want to live.
