35:29the problem is Bricks n Minifigs has a lot of leverage with Lego that you do not.
35:29francises often have good conections
35:29Pippa why would you be an indie vs corpo Vtuber?
35:29just open one yourself then run it like theirs to make more money, yeah it would be better
35:30if u can out compete them, sure
35:30you also buy into their logistics chain
35:31it's mostly for market recognition
35:32That's effort, Pippa
35:32whens the last time you went to a fast food location that wasnt a major chain
35:32harder than it sounds, you won't have their suppliers, their patents, their technologies, etc.
35:32They were well respected to this
35:33well, she's not a business person for a reason
35:33maybe? the point is that doing it on your own is riskier. a familar name is impactful
35:33gotta pay for permission to sell legos
35:33brand recognition + insta supliers
35:34exposure can be very expensive
35:34Then you don't get the brand name recognition.
35:35in a small town maybe, but in a big area uou need name recognition
35:35its probably like having a vtuber org
35:35Mcdonalds for example provides everything, from design to products
35:35McDonald's will tell you, within $10,000, how much you can make. They do so much prep it would make your head explode.
35:35its name recognition and they have a business model already put together
35:35why join a vtuber corporation?
35:35no, because John Normie will choose the famous name over a random shop 9/10 times
35:35you don't need to research, the franchize gives you everithing and contacts, providers
35:36Get consultant Wes in here
35:37the "free" advertisement from corp makes it worth it
35:37I don't run businesses so I have no clue
35:37you have to do your own advertising
35:38Brand name, supplier support, logistic support, legal support
35:39More expensive, no support, harder to get loans etc
35:41OH many wait till you get to the videos where people figured out the BAM system was actually a scam to make the people they sign up go into debt and they steal all the inventory from them.
35:41people wont go to mcpippa they go to mcdonalds
35:41it’s already an established and known franchise, as opposed to something completely new and unknown
35:41corporate is supposed to advertise on your behalf. KFC got into trouble for advertising grilled chicken since that hurt the stores.
35:43yes but there are certain things that only work if you're a well-known brand
35:43after this B&Mini property name isnt worth much lol
