Blind Man of America Franchise

Mobile window coverings

The Blind Man of America® is a home-based business providing customers with in-home selection of custom-made blinds, shades, shutters and more. We work from home and travel in the "blind mobile", our full-service vans containing everything we need to provide our customers with an unsurpassed selection of products with professional installation.

Our concept is framed in its simplicity. The idea is this…most of today's home owners know what they want in window coverings, but they want someone else to do the critical measuring and installation. That's where The Blind Man comes in. We provide a huge selection of quality products, provide expert measuring and installation, and guarantee it all! We provide this service to our customers in the comfort of their own home and all with unmatched customer service. It's a concept that consumers love and a system that's easy to implement for our franchisees. But, does it work? Judge for yourself. As a whole, our company averaged a 59% closing ratio in 2004 which means 6 out of every 10 estimates we've converted to sales. Our franchisees in business three years or more averaged a 55% repeat and referral business, as well.
