Wellbeing Magazine Grows Through Franchising

The Open Press:

Wellbeing Magazine, launched in October 2006, has been well received by the residents of Tunbridge Wells. The magazine was launched as a local magazine to Tunbridge Wells, with the aim of inspiring local people to take responsibility for their own health and to make them aware of local therapists and practitioners to help improve their wellbeing.

‘In a world where everyone works long hours and in stressful environments, it is no wonder that more and more people are feeling unwell and tired. Many turn to their doctors to ‘fix’ them but few understand the importance of taking responsibility for their own health. We want people to love the idea of eating healthy local food, to exercise their body, understand the importance of the mind as well as how their home and working environment affects their wellbeing,’ says Rachel Scriven, Publisher of Wellbeing Magazine.

Due to the huge success of the magazine Ms Scriven is expanding the magazine into other towns through a franchise program. Realizing that there are many talented people in other towns who would like the flexibility of working for themselves inspired Ms Scriven to look at the comprehensive franchising program, ‘Franchising has allowed us to develop a system where we can offer others the opportunity to publish their own magazine whilst ensuring that the Wellbeing Magazine brand is instantly recognizable in any town. We have developed an exciting training program and business system which allows us to inspire our franchisees to enjoy working with the magazine.’

Many people are frustrated with commuting and working long hours for someone else, Wellbeing Magazine offers these people the opportunity to work locally, choosing their own hours and developing their own business but with the support and backing of a central office. Wellbeing works with many talented writers from around the country ensuring quality editorial content for each magazine.

With the growth and interest in the wellness industry and as more and more people are looking for complementary therapies there has never been a better time to work in this industry.
