Franchise marketing is the sum of marketing strategies and tactics used by franchisors and their franchisees to increase brand awareness, attract new leads or customers, and grow their revenue. It includes both digital marketing and offline marketing. Franchise marketing is done both in-house, through the franchisor’s internal marketing department, and with the help of a franchise marketing agency that is knowledgeable in franchising.

franchise marketing agency is knowledgeable in the franchise industry. They work with the franchisor to develop programs that help areas like marketing strategy & planning, lead generation, prospecting and conversion of prospects into buyers. They also create special programs and work with individual franchisees on implementing local marketing programs and tactics.

To market a franchise business, whether you are a franchisor or a franchisee, you must first start with a franchise marketing strategy or plan. This document starts by defining your goals, your targeted audiences, and the specifics of your market. Then, it includes specific plans of action for increasing brand awareness, planning or improving your website, increasing its visibility in search engines (SEO), marketing on social mediaemail marketingpublic relations, and more.

A franchise marketing strategy, also called a plan, is a practical document that includes everything you do (or will do) to market your franchise brand. It is essential for the success of your franchise. Marketing doesn’t just happen – it requires strategy, goals, and tactics. Understanding these three components will help guide you as you build out your franchise marketing plan. The best way to create a franchise marketing plan is through investing in professional guidance that can maximize your chances of success.

A franchise marketing strategy includes everything you do to market your brand. Marketing involves the promotion of products or brands to buyers. It may have a higher focus on building awareness for your brand, rather than satisfying customer demand, which is largely the function of sales organizations. Some examples of franchise marketing solutions are advertising, social media marketing, web design and development, SEO, or public relations activities.

As often as necessary. The summary below is a suggested process for reviewing your existing franchise marketing strategy and incorporating new ideas:

A) Has anything significant changed? If your franchise brand is offering additional services, or digital versions of formerly in-person-only services, then it’s time to check if the current marketing strategy can cover these. Changes in audiences most often prompt the biggest changes.


B) Review the results of prior campaigns based on sales and customer feedback. Consider whether they were successful and if so, what they accomplished? What new insight was gained from monitoring these campaigns? What did you learn about your customers? Use these insights to revise, adapt, and add to your marketing strategy.

We work within your current brand guide to prioritize your brand’s unique look and feel. You will also have the opportunity to view moodboards and provide feedback both beore and throughout the design process, ensuring the new website aligns perfectly with your vision.

While no web design and development firm can provide a fixed price estimate because of the many variables, we generally advise emerging franchises with less than 100 units to budget a minimum of $35,000 for their website redesign. Franchise brands with more than 100 units should budget upwards of $55,000. However, it’s impossible to give an accurate answer to this question without knowing the specifics. A website will be tailored in size, content, design, and other factors that differ greatly from client to client. A website is designed according to the needs of its customers through a process called “needs assessment”. This means asking questions about what your company does, how it could be done better, who are you trying to reach, etc. A successful website design for one company might not work so well for another depending on their goals and objectives reaching different markets or customers.

While no web design and development firm can provide a fixed price estimate because of the many variables, we generally advise a budget minimum of $35,000 for a website redesign.

However, it’s impossible to give an accurate answer to this question without knowing the specifics. A website will be tailored in size, content, design, and other factors that differ greatly from client to client.

A website is designed according to the needs of its customers through a process called “needs assessment”. This means asking questions about what your company does, how it could be done better, who are you trying to reach, etc. A successful website design for one company might not work so well for another depending on their goals and objectives reaching different markets or customers.

Although we built a website for a large company in 4 months from kick-off meeting to launch, that’s extremely rare. For most typical projects, we would advise planning for at least 6 months. The more stakeholders involved, the lengthier the web design process. Always factor in time for planning and consulting meetings and user testing. For complex projects that involve migration from one system to another (Drupal to WordPress, for instance), factor in the time needed for transferring and verifying all content, which vastly differs from one website to another. Finally, you want to factor in time to update the content on your website and make sure you are optimized with local information to maximize your searchability.

It is not always necessary to start a website from scratch. If the original or current website was built on a scalable platform like WordPress, has a clear and efficient page structure, and good SEO value, you can plan instead for a redesign or “facelift”. This means updating or building a new theme to give your new website an updated, modern look & feel, add new functionality, make improvements for mobile usability or other UX/UI improvements. Generally, you should plan for a design update every 3-4 years, but that shouldn’t come at the cost of designing a brand new website.

Yes, valuable content will be carefully migrated to your new platform.
