What is Need A Nerd’s points of difference?

1. You will have strong customer job volumes from day one

A Major Telecom Provider (to be announced shortly)

4. We are continually focused on adding value to the Need A Nerd franchise system to allow franchisees to grow their business
5. Need a Nerd is not a greenfields operation. The business has been fine tuned over the last four years and only recently has been offered to the market as a franchise meaning many of the issues often associated with franchises have been exposed and addressed
The Growing Technology Market
The technology sector is increasingly converging with the integration of computers, communication, home entertainment / automation and security.
Computers and home entertainment are now a must have - not a want - people can’t survive without them.
And while consumers and businesses have better access to technology through lower pricing, they are increasingly experiencing difficulty setting up, using, and solving issues when they arise.
Hawkes Bay has been working under the franchise model for 12 months and has grown 30-40% over this period.
The Nerd Future
Expect to see Need A Nerd as a household name in New Zealand in 2 years time!
Need A Nerd will significantly benefit from being the first integrated technology service provider to offer a comprehensive nationwide service. That presence will undoubtedly bring further relationships with other strategic partners, for instance computer manufacturers, and will position Need A Nerd to win national contracts (nationwide companies, Government Departments / Ministries and Maori organisations to name a few) to drive further job volumes.
As franchise sales grow and Nerd coverage expands, the Need A Nerd brand will be marketed on a national scale with all of the benefits that accrues at a local level.
