For more than 45 years, Poppies has built its reputation around providing high-quality domestic cleaning services to households across the UK.
But the way customers find, book and manage home services is changing.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce Itzhome — a new home services platform designed to make accessing trusted local services simpler, while creating new opportunities for the Poppies franchise network.
What is Itzhome?
Itzhome is an online platform that brings a range of home services together in one convenient place.
Instead of searching across different websites, making multiple phone calls or trying to find reliable local tradespeople, customers can use Itzhome to find and book the services they need for their home.
Domestic cleaning sits at the heart of that offering, with Poppies bringing more than four decades of experience and an established reputation for quality cleaning to the platform.
For customers, it means greater convenience.
For Poppies, it represents an opportunity to put our services in front of more households and continue developing the business for an increasingly digital marketplace.
Bringing Poppies Cleaning to a Wider Audience
Poppies has always been built around local businesses delivering personal, reliable services within their communities.
Itzhome doesn’t change that.
Instead, it provides another way for customers to discover and access those services.
Customers looking for help around their home can discover Poppies through Itzhome and book cleaning alongside the growing range of other home services available through the platform.
It combines the local service and experience Poppies is known for with the convenience customers increasingly expect online.
What Does Itzhome Mean for Poppies Franchisees?
One of the biggest opportunities presented by Itzhome is the potential to generate additional exposure and enquiries for Poppies businesses.
Franchisees remain focused on building successful cleaning businesses within their territories, while Itzhome creates an additional digital route through which potential customers can discover Poppies.
As the platform develops, it also gives Poppies the opportunity to benefit from a much broader home-services ecosystem.
A customer might initially visit Itzhome because they need a gardener, handyman or carpet cleaner — but that same household may also require regular domestic cleaning.
Being part of a wider home-services platform creates opportunities for Poppies to reach customers beyond those specifically searching for a cleaning company.
Combining 45+ Years of Experience with New Technology
Poppies has been operating since 1980, and that experience remains one of the biggest strengths of the franchise.
But longevity doesn’t mean standing still.
Successful businesses evolve with their customers, and today’s customers increasingly expect services to be easy to discover, compare and arrange online.
The introduction of Itzhome is part of that evolution.
It brings together Poppies’ established cleaning experience and franchise network with a modern digital platform built around the way people now manage their homes.
Building for the Future
The partnership with Itzhome is about more than introducing another way to book a clean.
It’s about continuing to develop what a modern Poppies franchise can look like.
Poppies franchisees already benefit from an established brand, decades of industry experience, a proven business model and ongoing support. Developments such as Itzhome add another dimension to that proposition by helping the network embrace new technology and new ways of reaching customers.
For someone considering starting their own Poppies franchise, that’s an important distinction.
You’re joining a business with more than 45 years behind it — but one that is still looking forward.
