Why Merle Norman Cosmetics Franchise Is A Resilient Business to Own

For nearly 100 years, the iconic beauty franchise’s versatility and high-quality products have helped its franchise owners thrive in business

As the recent crisis recedes into the past, entrepreneurs are seeking recession-resistant business opportunities that are capable of thriving in challenging times. 

For entrepreneurs who are passionate about the beauty industry and empowering women to realize their ideal self-image, Merle Norman is a resilient brand that is nimble enough to innovate and adapt with the times. 

After all, this is exactly what we’ve been doing for nearly 100 years.beauty franchise

Our iconic beauty supply franchise was launched in the middle of The Great Depression, and during WWII, we answered a call to action for machine gun oil and camouflage sticks by converting our factories. Even now, during these challenging times, our online sales are increasing by six times their normal volume, and we are producing World Health Organization-approved hand sanitizer. 

For our franchise owners, many of whom have endured multiple recessions and changing cultural times, being a part of a brand that is capable of adapting and changing during uncertain times is a testament to the strength of our business model. 

There’s another silver lining. The beauty industry was booming at $532 billion before this crisis and the demand for it will continue to grow after it ends. With three business models — opening a new store, purchasing an existing store or adding a Merle Norman Cosmetics studio to your existing retail — and a surging online sales platform, Merle Norman franchise owners can thrive in any economy.
