Trends and Facts About Children's Franchises

1. The market for providing children’s services and products is huge. The Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics estimates that there are more than 73 million children under the age of 18 in the US.


2. Birth rates are up, and it is expected that children will number over 80 million by 2020, and make up about 24 percent of the US population.


3. Spending on children is also rising, with both parent and grandparents driving that trend. And kids themselves now have more personal money to spend.


4. The size of the kids’ population is good news for those who want to own a business that caters to children. Children exert a profound influence on household spending, with an estimated $500 billion spent on specialized products and services for children.


5. American Demographics magazine reports that 4-to-12 year olds account for $40 billion in spending every year.


6. There are several distinct trends in children’s franchises and businesses. Some of the most successful and popular include: * Sports-oriented coaching and team play * Fitness gyms and exercise sessions for children * Daycare facilities * Educational and tutoring services that range from academics to art and music * Party planning for special events * Restaurants with kid-friendly atmospheres * Hair styling * Photography The diversity of children’s franchises offers entry to people from various backgrounds – teachers, athletes, event planners, IT professionals, scientists, marketers, and parents. There are certain personality traits that help people be successful in businesses for children. It’s only logical to have some experience with children, either as a parent, previous nanny jobs, or a background in teaching or coaching. Personality is also important -- those who work best with children are patient, energetic, enthusiastic, empathetic and a bit imaginative, since kids are naturally attracted to the realms of fantasy and magic.
