JOIN THE CARTERY NETWORK

While The Cartery is predominantly based in Auckland, we’re constantly approached by brands and individuals who want to buy our carts or hire them to run events and brand activations in other parts of New Zealand.

We regularly send our carts and equipment around the country for events, but haven’t ever made our carts available for sale…until now!

We want to spread more ‘cart love’ to other parts of New Zealand in an easy-to-execute, professional way.

To do this, we’re now offering a unique opportunity for a select few (approved by The Cartery) to own their own carts like ours.

Two options are available:

  1. Our ‘Owner-Operator option is for individuals who to start their own independent regional cart businesses, like ours, with the added benefit of being part of our (no obligation) national network.
  2. The second option is for brands to purchase their own cart to use for their own activations.

Owner Operator

Our unique owner-operator model means you can purchase one of our cart(s) on their own or a full setup with all the equipment you need to run your own business in your specific part of the country, with full support from us, and run it the way you want.

Benefits
  • Full set up of everything you need to start your own cart activation business - includes cart and equipment (optional), processes, operational guides and ‘how to’s’ to run your own independent regional event cart business.
  • You’ll get access to our wealth of experience, having worked with most of New Zealand’s, and the world’s, largest brands..including Google, Ferrari, Mercedes, Nike, Audi, Porsche, Burberry, Adidas, Karen Walker, MECCA, Lululemon, Westfield, Michael Hill, Stolen Girlfriends, Status Anxiety, Style Runner…the list goes on.
  • You get full support, advice and knowledge of how to do things right (we’ve learnt all the lessons over the years so you don’t have to) which can include branding, marketing, ordering, supplier and resource support.
  • We give you the option to partner with us, as and when events arise in your area, and work alongside us on some of New Zealand’s coolest activations. In effect, we feed you work and provide full support to you for these events on top of you running your own independent business.
  • You get access to discounted branding rates for your cart via The Cartery’s commercial printing facilities in Auckland for all other events you run.
  • You get to be an independent operator in your region and keep all the earnings you make. No franchise agreements, red-tape obligations or monthly franchise network payments - just an upfront one-off purchase fee to set you up with everything you need…and then you get to choose what you do after that.
  • There’s no obligation to be part of our network if you want to just purchase our carts and equipment outright and run your own business. But there are plenty of great opportunities available to be part of something bigger as part of our network, as and when it suits you.
  • Conditions
    • 1 You only operate in the agreed regional area allocated. This strictly excludes the Auckland region.
    • 2 You maintain the equipment to a high standard at all times.
    • 3 You have the right ‘can do’ attitude that matches The Cartery team’s energy and enthusiasm for delivering ‘nothing but exceptional’ events for clients.
