The estimated total investment range (turnkey model) is €45,500 to €85,000. This includes the Franchise Fee, Initial Product Stock, store decoration, and Working Capital.

The Franchise Fee includes the right to use the brand, the transfer of our operational and commercial know-how, access to our exclusive suppliers with wholesale prices (up to 40% off the retail price), and comprehensive initial training for you and your team.

Thanks to our import structure and wholesale channel, products have a margin that can reach and exceed 50% of the retail price, especially on key items such as ULLAS Incense and exclusive handicrafts.

It is not essential. Our training program covers all aspects, from inventory and POS management to cultural storytelling and selling spiritual tourism experiences.

Southamericanart’s headquarters handles import, customs, and logistics to our European distribution center. The franchisee places orders directly through our integrated system, guaranteeing quality, authenticity, and continuity of supply.

We implement a POS (Point of Sale) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system that allows for real-time stock management. This optimizes orders, prevents stockouts, and allows headquarters to assist with the analysis of local product turnover.

Our marketing team (led by Teresa and Gastón) provides ready-to-use visual and textual content, geo-targeted digital advertising campaigns, and support in optimizing your Google My Business listing (Local SEO), which is crucial for attracting customers in Italy.

The franchisee acts as a sales and promotional point for our exclusive tours to Latin America. For each tour booking (e.g., “Enjoy Colombia” or “Enjoy Jujuy, Argentina”), the franchisee receives an attractive commission, turning the store into a specialized travel agency without additional logistical costs.

The initial investment covers the creation of the digital infrastructure (GMB, Landing Page), the Grand Opening materials, and the initial budget for paid campaigns (Meta Ads and Google Ads) for the first month. Recurring advertising costs (starting from month 2) are the responsibility of the franchisee, but with our optimized management.

The Head Office provides the visual content (high-quality images) and the brand’s core text. The franchisee focuses on personalizing this content with the local context (store photos, events, community interaction) to create an authentic connection.

Yes. A small Marketing Fee is established (generally a percentage of revenue). This fund is allocated to national branding campaigns, development of specialized SEO content, and the continuous improvement of the brand’s digital ecosystem for the benefit of the entire network.

For brand consistency and cost optimization, Performance Marketing campaigns (Google Ads, Meta Ads) must be coordinated or managed directly by the Head Office Marketing team (Gastón and Teresa). This ensures correct brand usage, effective targeting, and the best conversion rates.

Local SEO (Google Maps/GMB ranking) starts generating results from the first month, but full optimization for competitive keywords in a city can take between 3 and 6 months. That’s why we combine SEO with immediate paid advertising.
