Fun 4 Nature Coast Kids Franchise For Sale
What is Fun 4 Nature Coast Kids? A family calendar/directory website serving families in and around Citrus County, Hernando County, and North Eastern Pasco County FL.

What does a franchisee do? Franchisees are responsible for promoting their sites on social media, email newsletters, working events, and other marketing methods to grow their site traffic. The way franchisees earn revenue is by selling ads on the website. Most of this work is done via email and social media messaging. Franchisees are required to have at least one dedicated content manager on their team responsible for curating content and ensuring the directory and calendar are up-to-date, accurate, and as comprehensive as possible. It is strongly recommended to have a social media manager as well.
What are the benefits of running a Fun 4 US Kids franchise?
- Franchisees can work from home (or anywhere with internet), and make their own schedule. All of our current franchisees are moms and dads with school-aged children. Most franchisees work around their kids' schedules as needed.
- Our sites are individually owned and operated. We do not track franchisee's hours or daily schedules. Franchisees decide which days and hours they work each week, and can take sick days and vacations whenever it suits their schedule.
- Most of the work is computer-based and can be done any time of day or day of the week that works for the franchisee.
- Franchisees keep 100% of all the revenue earned from selling ads. PLUS because the site is part of a network, franchisees have the opportunity to participate in group advertising deals from advertisers placing ads on multiple sites in the network.
- Franchisees can also negotiate trade deals for advertising - for example, running ads on the site in exchange for tickets to events or programs, camps, or parties for their kids.
- Fun 4 US Kids provides full training and ongoing business support to set you up for success.
