Franchise Support
Franchise support services include documentation, guidance, and initial training franchisors use to support new owners. With support from the franchisor, new franchisees can thrive, stay true to the brand and increase profitability. A comprehensive franchise support system assures franchise owners they have the Franchisor's support resources and experience to guide and encourage them.
How Franchisors Support Franchisees
A franchise system supports new business owners through mentorship in marketing and advertising, brand compliance, procurement, and technology support at the local level.
Ongoing Support
Ongoing operational support can be invaluable for franchisees as it helps them address any challenges they may face while running the business. This support can include assistance with inventory management, purchasing, and staffing, as well as guidance on best practices for managing day-to-day operations.
Marketing & Advertising
Each franchise boosts the brand recognition of the Franchisor. Franchisees benefit from local, regional, and national advertising campaigns. Additionally, franchisors need strong marketing materials to guide owners in marketing their locations effectively across the United States.
Training
Training is a critical part of franchise support as it enables franchisees to learn the ins and outs of the business and develop the necessary skills to run the business successfully. Franchisors typically provide initial training for new franchisees and ongoing training to ensure that they stay up-to-date on best practices, new products or services, and any changes to the business model. Training includes on-site and remote guidance on representing the brand, hiring employees, and running a successful business. A successful training program ensures high-quality duplication and delivery across a network of franchisees.
Operations & Management
Franchisors support owners with guidance on hiring, marketing, and daily operations. In return, franchisees pay an initial franchise fee to cover startup costs and give the Franchisor a portion of their gross sales.
Technology & Software
Access to technology is becoming increasingly important for businesses of all types, and franchises are no exception. Franchisors can provide franchisees with access to the latest technology and systems to help them run their business more efficiently, such as point-of-sale systems, inventory management software, and customer relationship management tools. This can help franchisees save time and money, and improve their overall performance.
