Home Based Business Spotlight: DVDNow
Home Based Business Spotlight: DVDNow
The Evolution of Renting
For the longest time, movie rental stores were the only option, and people gladly accepted that, wandering in to peruse the aisles of titles and select a film for the night’s viewing. But the name of the video rental game in the US is convenience.
When services like Netflix became available, a large piece of the traditional video store pie was cut out and consumed in no time at all. People loved, and still love, the low monthly price, unlimited number of monthly rentals, and convenience of having movies constantly shipped right to their door. Video stores certainly felt the heat from the movie-by-mail business success, some of them even turning to provide the same kind of service to their clients in an attempt to keep business.
It’s impossible to say if either style of rental business foresaw the next evolution of DVD renting that was fast approaching, but it is now officially upon us, claiming its large slice of the pie as well. Automated DVD rental kiosks have begun to spring up everywhere. First arising in Europe, the idea quickly took over the rental industry there and has spread into the US as well. They appear under a small variety of different names, but the concept remains the same: offer the newest titles (which account for some 90% of all movie rental sales) from automated vending machines that require no human employees, are positioned conveniently in the places where people do most of their shopping, and cost sometimes only a dollar per rental. It’s a brilliant idea that gives consumers everything they want from a rental business: unrivaled convenience, ease of use, and low prices.
To date, there is still plenty of room for wise entrepreneurs to jump on the bandwagon and profit from the concept, but only because the sub-industry is still in its infant phase. An exceptional franchise name in this budding market and one of the best ways to take advantage of its potential before it’s too late is DVDNow.
DVDNow
The key to the success of a DVDNow vending franchise is undoubtedly its machines. Of course, having an automated rental kiosk in itself separates DVDNow from ordinary rental stores, by putting movies in easy reach of customers right where they are. The machines are relatively small, staying out of the way of normal business operation at the locations in which they’re positioned, and they’re easy to use, providing customers with an interactive display that lists available rentals and offers movie trailers.
How this particular home based business sets itself apart from the rest of its automated competition, however, is by focusing on only new releases. Many competing DVD vending machines keep a fair number of older titles, just in case a client may want one, but DVDNow never does. By stocking machines only with the latest DVDs available, franchisees save on the cost and space of maintaining a stock of films that, even in full-size rental stores, only account for 10% of total sales. And as icing on this convenience cake, an easy-access glass display makes extracting the movies far easier and faster than waiting for the machine to find and eject the DVD itself.
The actual operation of this business for sale is actually rather simple, behaving much like any vending franchise but bringing in the remuneration of a full video rental store. There is little, if any, overhead cost; work consists mostly of restocking machines and finding new locations to acquire; and the franchisee has every opportunity to create his own weekly schedule as he sees fit.
The Business Opportunity
Few business opportunities of this caliber come along at the early and highly profitable stage of development that this one does. With machines already in the field, the market is currently primed for vast expansion but is not yet fully exploited, making this the perfect time to start a home business like DVDNow.
Completely aware of both the current and future earning potential of this forward-thinking,work from home vending opportunity, the DVDNow franchisor is limiting the franchises sold to ensure that every one is in the hands of only an utterly business-savvy entrepreneur who will use it to its fullest. Only those with at least $20,000 in liquid capital are even being considered for this opportunity, and within that small circle of lucky entrepreneurs, only those who possess the knack and character that DVDNow expects from a work at home franchisee will be accepted.
If you think you have what it takes to own and operate this style of business, taking as big a chunk of your local market as possible, contact DVDNow for further information. This could be the perfect shot at high-profit entrepreneurship that you’ve been looking for.

Across the nation, the face of DVD rentals is quickly changing. What once was dominated by the traditional brick-and-mortar movie rental store is now seeing a transition toward small, 5’x5’ machines located by the front doors of the nearest grocery store. It’s happened so gradually that many haven’t even recognized the shift, but it’s happened just the same, and it makes a good deal of sense.
