The Streamline Brands Blog

The American workforce is experiencing a revolution of sorts. Over the past couple of years, record numbers of 9-to-5 workers voluntarily exited their day jobs and began seeking new opportunities. For many, that meant becoming their own bosses. As we enter the season of thankfulness and the new year dawns, we can’t help but reflect on this year and what we aspire to achieve in the next.

Franchising has been on a growth kick for quite a while now, and rightfully so. The probability of success in franchising is substantially higher than other small business startups, primarily due to the proven business model and comprehensive support system offered by the franchisor. And as far as franchising is concerned, Streamline’s exceptional support and back-office access really set us apart from the pack.

Formal swim lessons have long been an integral part of American childhood. Many of us learned to swim at a friend's house, at the lake, or possibly had an instructor at a facility. During shutdowns over the last couple of years, swim lessons across the country halted. Public swim facilities were closed, and due to social distancing requirements, even at-home lessons were not practical. 

What a way to Take Our Mark leading into 2023! After two years of no in-person conferences, we are happy to say our 2022 Annual Conference at The Wigwam was a huge success.  We had over 150 attendees and had so much fun getting together with our Streamline family in Arizona.

On Sunday, we welcomed our franchisees with an Arizona-themed welcome bag with an assortment of goodies related to the 5 Cs of Arizona. Throughout the afternoon, we talked more about the past year and what is to come next year, our marketing goals and the new campaign, goals for the CSC.  Some of our Franchisees spoke about their success and their goals to continue growing in 2023. To wrap up the night, we had a western welcome party with a beer burro (everyone's favorite!), western band, and craft table to make your own custom-branded jackets!

On the heels of 2022, we can’t help but feel a tad reflective and introspective about our brand’s success. Speaking of introspection, it’s also the same process we use to evaluate our lives and assess whether we need to make changes for the future. Many people even use these thoughts to make resolutions. If you find yourself pondering a career transition of sorts, the new year is a great time to make a leap!
