LOCAL FRANCHISEE MARKETING

More Leads for Franchise Owners

Local franchise marketing is where the rubber meets the road in franchising. If a franchise company’s local franchise units are not successful, neither is the parent franchise.

Most franchisors spend considerable time developing local franchise marketing systems for franchisees to follow. These plans often begin before a franchisee launches and continues through soft opening, grand opening, and evolves as each franchise unit reaches maturity.

Quality franchise companies understand Franchisees local marketing needs vary depending on stage of development and geographic area and are sensitive to developing systems the average franchisee can enact within a reasonable local budget.

It is important franchisors remove as many obstacles as possible to allow each franchisee to execute on the local marketing plan. Creating marketing templates, researching and striking discounts with advertisers, developing seasonal and fresh marketing items, facilitating regional campaigns, and organizing the marketing systems using modern technology will lead to franchisees being empowered to carry out their local franchise marketing. Franchisors should attempt to perform all advertising steps which can be performed centrally at the corporate level, leaving only the items having enhanced value when performed locally to the franchisee.

Building quality local franchise marketing is continually evolving and takes experience and expertise to be successful. The options for local franchise marketing are varied and distinct. There are seemingly endless options for franchisees to market their businesses locally.

Franchisors need to consider how to keep brand consistency while creating straight forward plans that utilize historically effective marketing approaches with emerging options.

Local franchise marketing can be as simple as interior and exterior signage, social media ads, a grand opening weekend, holiday events, or money mailers sent to the local market. And local marketing can include more involved items such as local search engine optimization, also know as SEO, pay per click advertising, trade shows, email marketing, Public Relations, local TV, radio and much more.
