Smart Move, Indeed
Published in FirstMonday magazine
It’s no secret that a recession tends to breed great ideas, as well as startups of all sorts. So how well are these new companies doing?
For one, BungoBox, a Casselberry-based startup that rents recycled plastic moving boxes, is doing so well that its owners had more than 50 franchise requests before even launching their franchise option. (The company now has more than 200 applications.) BungoBox's product durability and sustainability are cited as keys to the company’s success. When cardboard boxes are reused, for example, they can last for approximately four moves. By comparison, BungoBoxes can be reused several hundred times. After that, they are recycled and made into new boxes.
Additionally, the success of BungoBox is paying off for other local businesses through an affiliate program. The owners of BungoBox say that they are thrilled about the rapid expansion of their innovative business and that they designed their concept from the very beginning with franchising in mind.
Smart move, indeed.
