Additional Income Streams

In addition to the sphereing revenue, franchisees can generate a high level of income by selling SphereMania merchandise on site including branded photographs, personal videos of the experience, branded clothing etc. An additional income can also be generated by catering on site including hot and cold drinks, ice cream, sandwiches and snacks. It is possible to earn around £500 per day from these revenue streams. Over the course of an average sphereing season this can equate to an additional £35,000 turnover with a high profit margin on consumables.
