In our region, no one is better positioned for success than Advanced Makeover Clinics™. Sales of products assisting consumers to improve their quality of life are in the billions globally and growing each year. The Baby Boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) are searching for alternatives to the invasive treatments i.e. plastic surgery. A key success factor is the real results we achieve (including darker skins typical of our rainbow nation) by using world class equipment and procedures. The younger population and even more so the growing middle to higher income groups are more aware of skin care techniques than any generation before them – even amongst men the awareness of skin care has increased dramatically.

How to Make Your MillionsWhether you want to buy a franchise or do it yourself, check out 7 hot markets that can make you a millionaire. By Nichole L. Torres and Sara Wilson | Entrepreneur Magazine - September 2007 Article Tools “Already dreaming about living the good life as a millionaire? We've compiled the most lucrative trends across seven industries. “…arriving at your first million in sales will require persistence, strategy and, in most cases, multiple locations. And in case you doubt it's doable, we got the scoop from savvy entrepreneurs who went from zero to a million.” Fountain of Youth ”With the first baby boomers starting to hit 60, America is fighting tooth and nail to stave off the signs of time. In 2004, Americans spent about $44.6 billion on anti-aging products and services, according to Business Communications Co. Inc., an information resource company. But that's nothing compared to the $72 billion market it's expected to mature into by 2009. Why the sense of urgency? Vanity is part of it, and the fact that we're living longer adds to the need for enduring youth. But there's also the fact that many baby boomers won't be financially able to leave the work force as early as their parents did and will have no choice but to stay vital and active, says Maddy Dychtwald, co-founder of Age Wave, a think tank focused on boomers and the aging of the population. According to a study by the National Association of Realtors, the median age at which baby boomers expect to stop working is 70, but 27 percent say they never intend to stop working. Dychtwald predicts that this will open up all kinds of opportunities to entrepreneurs--such as those who can create wellness centers and bring together a variety of health and nutrition specialists under one roof.” We understand our clients' and patients' needs and therefore not only provide a selected few treatment options, but the “full house” of non-invasive treatments including the most advanced product offerings.

Fast Facts on The Anti-Aging Marketplace (Source: www.sa5m.com) The consumer public has voted with their wallets overwhelmingly in favour of the anti-aging healthcare model. The anti-aging marketplace is one that is demographics-driven: people around the world are getting older. As a result the anti-aging marketplace is projected to reach $41.94 billion by 2006, expanding at an average annual rate (AAGR) of 8% [Business Communications Company, 2002]. Emerging black middle class drives growth. The emerging black middle class served to stimulate the growth of many products within the cosmetics and toiletries market in South Africa in 2006. [TheInfoshop.com] Global nutraceuticals market grew from $38.2 billion in 1999, to reach $46.7 billion in 2002; by 2007, global nutraceutical sales are projected to reach $74.7 billion [reported by NutraIngredients.com, “Nutraceuticals sales to hit $75 billion”]
Lucrative spin-off industries created by the anti-aging marketplace include: Prescription
Drugs: $70 billion annually spent by the public on medicines prescribed for aging-related diseases Customer Trends Entrepreneur Magazine has identified medical spas as "...one of the hottest business opportunities . . . “available today. Every 7 seconds a baby boomer turns 50. The Boomers have fuelled the fast foods industry and are now fuelling the latest major trend – health & wellness. The demand for alternative, less invasive treatments to plastic surgery has increased dramatically. This growth in demand is also a fact in the South African environment. There is an added benefit of the “Black Diamond” – the growing middle to upper income segment of black South Africans. We at Advanced Makeover Clinics™ understand this demand and have developed a business model and state-of-the art treatments that deliver to the consumer needs and exceeds their expectations. The Advanced Makeover Clinics™ business model was built on the core concept of offering a “one stop” solution consisting of the most in-demand and highly profitable medical skin care services, as well as the everyday repeat customer services such as facials, Mani – and pedicures. Our model allows our franchisees to maximize profitability without having clients and patients migrating to competitors due to a lack of service offering. Franchising success is based on the premise that most people will find it a lot easier to build a new business under the guidance of an established organization, using proven methods and procedures, rather than by trial and error. Initial and ongoing training, the use of a well known trademark, access to joint advertising and purchasing and a host of support services, that are typically offered by Advanced Makeover Clinics™, are just some of the advantages franchisees enjoy. The success of every franchising operation rests upon exact duplication of the Advanced Makeover Clinics™ “blue print”, in other words, every franchisee will be expected to operate a carbon copy of the Advanced Makeover Clinics™ original business. Statistics show the failure rate of franchise ventures set up by established businesses is about 5%. Entering into any business venture can be risky but by purchasing a franchise you will increase your odds of success. The Advanced Makeover Clinics ™ Company is deeply committed to your business success. When you join or group, you get much more than the use of our trademark. We provide a comprehensive Aesthetic Skincare business opportunity in a proven package. This means no guesswork, the learning curve is drastically shortened and no wasted marketing costs. We bring you leading and proven technologies and products to help you protect your investment. Processes have been mastered to support you in this appealing investment opportunity. 5.
