Protected Territories

Click IT franchisees are provided with awarded protected territories that offer the following advantages:

1. Commercial Leasing Partner: We work with franchisees and our commercial leasing partner to find all available places for lease in the selected area, across all asset classes of commercial real estate.
2. Lease Comps: We give franchisees access to Lease Comps, which provide comprehensive reports that help us understand whether a leased place is in line with market rates in the city.
3. Market and Sub-Market Analytics: We have access to in-depth market and sub-market analytics for every location we focus on, which helps us understand the dollar-per-foot costs in the city and state. High vacancies in sub-markets give us leverage in our dollar-per-foot negotiations.
4. Owner Contact Information: We identify the true owner's contact information for the places we select based on favorable demographic data. This gives us the ability to reach out directly to the owners of any available commercial property for lease we select. Often we find owners without broker representation, which can save money on the lease transaction.
5. Demographics: Demographic data about the area's population and the makeup of that market area is crucial, as it tells us which places have the best distribution in population for both businesses and residents, and how many targeted eyeballs a location receives daily or monthly. We make additional information available, such as traffic counts, household incomes, home values, and much more, which is customizable geographically. This data is often displayed in a text file (spreadsheet) or by creating a heat map with colors indicating population density, for instance.
6. Drive-Time Indicator: We also gather information on how many office tenants are within a 15-minute drive of your potential store location. The tools we use for gathering and examining all this data can also be used by our franchise owners as an indication of whom they should start reaching out to directly, as the new Click IT store prepares to open in that area.

Territory Criteria

The type of businesses inside the awarded radius doesn't really matter. Most Click IT business customers are under 100 employees, so the emphasis is on servicing small businesses. Some Click IT stores may want to focus on servicing larger customers, and that's okay too. Servicing local residences helps build a store's reputation and recognition, and will be a source for referrals to a Click IT Store. Fixing residents' computers and taking care of their maintenance, as well as providing many other IT products, services, and solutions to them, including doing house calls.
