They\u2019ll need to if they want to stay competitive in today\u2019s fast-changing world. Can you think of any businesses that should start providing delivery services, ASAP? <\/p>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Franchise Money-Making Tip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since more franchise businesses and other small businesses <em>are<\/em> going to add delivery services in 2020, you may want to look into buying a franchise like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/franchise-opportunities-opening-ups-store\">The UPS Store<\/a><\/strong>\u00ae. Here\u2019s why. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this specific instance, let\u2019s say you\u2019re the owner of &#8220;<em>Main St. Hardware<\/em>&#8220;, and you\u2019ve been watching what\u2019s going on with delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, you\u2019ve been thinking of adding a delivery option, but you\u2019re having trouble justifying the purchase (<em>or lease<\/em>) of a delivery vehicle&#8230;and a new employee to do the deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then one day, out of the blue, Thomas Spector (<em>who owns The UPS Store franchise down the street<\/em>), stops by your store and offers you \u201c<em>a new service for local small business owners<\/em>.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas tells you that he&#8217;ll call you every day to see if you have anything you need to have delivered, and if so, he\u2019ll take it to his UPS Store, box it up and ship it out. And it doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s local or not. He can do the shipping for <em>your online store<\/em> too! Problem solved. And now you don&#8217;t have to invest in a delivery vehicle or another employee. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, obviously a service like this is\nfor non-perishable items&#8230;not food. Well not yet. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, who\u2019s to say that The\nUPS Store won\u2019t one day add food delivery to their service offerings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have I got you thinking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The bottom line? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you own The UPS Store, <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"or something similar (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.franchisedirect.com\/mailingshippingfranchises\/49\" target=\"_blank\">or something similar<\/a><\/strong>, it would be foolish for you to stay behind the counter waiting for customers to stop in-when you have dozens if not hundreds of potential opportunities to offer delivery to small businesses in your local area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*There\u2019s one more opportunity in the\ndelivery sector you may have heard about.

That\u2019s a lot of jobs. What is more, over 50% of those jobs are full-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, it\u2019s been estimated that the number of franchised units has almost doubled during the last quarter century.

And 52% of them are female. As a matter of fact,  37% of all new franchisees in the last 2 years have been female.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And speaking of females, franchises like <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Kids Collectiv (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/kids-collective.co.uk\/franchise\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kids Collectiv<\/a><\/strong>e, target Mums who want to own a business that suits their schedule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other franchise types that may be a good fit for Mums include businesses that offer <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.franchisedirect.co.uk\/childrenfranchises\/177\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"after-school activities (opens in a new tab)\">after-school activities<\/a><\/strong>, like art, tutoring, swimming and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second trend I\u2019d like to talk about has to do with a change in how UK franchisees collect money from their customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide\" style=\"grid-template-columns:83% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/uk-money-620x554.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32303 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/uk-money-620x554.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/uk-money-320x286.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/uk-money.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Elite Franchise Magazine (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/elitefranchisemagazine.co.uk\/analysis\/item\/top-tech-trends-predictions-for-franchises-in-2019\" target=\"_blank\">Elite Franchise Magazine<\/a><\/strong>, a high volume of businesses are moving away from cash payments.

President Trump gets removed from\noffice<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of this writing, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/would-you-buy-a-franchise-from-donald-trump\">Trump<\/a><\/strong> has been <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/trump-impeachment-inquiry\/trump-impeached-house-abuse-power-n1104196\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"impeached (opens in a new tab)\">impeached<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And no, I\u2019m not going to share my\npolitical views in this article-or share whether or not I think Trump is a good\nPresident. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that being said, things can get volatile in a hurry, depending on if he gets removed from office or not. And franchising <em>will<\/em> feel the impact-either way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, if he <em>stays<\/em> in office, things in our country will pretty much remain as they are now. We\u2019ll continue to have a good economy-but we\u2019ll still experience a lot of divisiveness. And when election time rolls around in November, it will be one of the ugliest slugfests in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, if Trump gets <em>removed<\/em> from office, the economy will probably tank for a while&#8230;if for no other reason than Trump is been seen as good for Wall Street. &nbsp;But that will be the least of our problems, as&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Misinformation Campaigns Will Quickly Launch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When that happens, I predict that things could get ugly, as dozens of \u201c<em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/the-deep-state\">Deep State<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\u201d conspiracy theories will get a serious shot in the arm. And that will translate into anger. The question is, will that anger spill out into the streets? I hope not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case, if that does happen, my prediction of 2020 being a really good year for franchising will go right out the freaking window (<em>along with television sets, furniture, and whatever else looters and other assorted miscreants manage to heave out of store windows<\/em>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And believe me, having a down year in franchising will be the least of our problems if  stuff like that materializes. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide\" style=\"grid-template-columns:82% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/washington-dc-1-620x422.jpg\" alt=\"politics in dc\" class=\"wp-image-32234 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/washington-dc-1-620x422.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/washington-dc-1-320x218.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/washington-dc-1.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> I could have &#8220;<em>elected<\/em>&#8221; to <em>not<\/em> add what you\u2019re reading now in this franchising trends article.

And it affects consumer (<em>your customer\u2019s<\/em>) behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifically, if consumers are on edge because our politicians are screwing things up, and affecting their everyday lives, they\u2019ll curb their spending. That would be bad! <\/p>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Politics Affects Small Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, I\u2019ve included a discussion of some of the things taking place in Washington is because they can greatly influence small business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of franchising, anything being done (<em>or not being done<\/em>) in Washington that creates doubt in the minds of prospective franchisees, can slow down the sale of new franchise business units. When that happens, new job creation goes down (<em>new franchise business openings provide instant local job creation<\/em>), the number of small business loans go down, and commercial space gets under-utilized or remains empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now do you understand why I\u2019m delving\ninto this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s continue with the second thing that may impact the franchise industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. The Presidential Election<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Trump <em>does<\/em> remain in office, <em>but loses the 2020 Presidential Election to a Democrat<\/em>, the stock market and the associated positive gains all of us have enjoyed will be tested. But as long as the economy remains strong&#8230;not the Wall Street economy&#8230;but the small business economy, things will work out just fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Word of Caution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Trump loses to a Democrat, a ton of\nmisinformation will be spun out by <em>never<\/em> well-meaning pundits who will\nscare the nation into believing that Democrats are bad, and our taxes will go\nup because college will be free&#8230;as will healthcare, and blah, blah, blah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I doubt if college will be\nfree in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As to taxes, I doubt they\u2019ll go up for most middle-class Americans.
