A GROWING MARKET SEGMENT Dryer Vent Wizard is a new category in the $20 billion market segment of home service. The market has grown every year for 25 years. Imagine the scene in a household when a dryer stops working. A consumer´s first inclination is to believe the dryer is broken. In many situations a repair person is called only to find out that it is not a malfunctioning dryer, but the dryer vent that needs cleaning. Dryer vent lint build-up causes dryers to work inefficiently or not at all. Because repair center personnel do not clean, repair or replace dryer vents, they refer customers to the Yellow Pages. Here´s the market niche…there is no organized company providing this service in the Yellow Pages. When the home is in disarray because there are no dry clothes, the search to find someone to help is an urgent response call! This is where Dryer Vent Wizard comes in! Through networking with local repair centers and property managers, DVW receives referrals that put our franchisees in touch with consumers who need our service and need it now!
