Franchise - Guys, After searching for franchise in food industry which I am familiar with, (no full service, quick stuff like Dunkin Donuts, Jack in the box type etc..) Where I live most of the good ones are taken or corporate own. I live in AZ, does any one recommend a good franchise ? Most of the one I search are no good or brand new lack marketing power, and it’s not worth even getting into. For instance, the franchise I am in currently is a food business the food is nice, but it’s a failing concept, lack of marketing and lack of franchisor support... I think they given up in their own concept. I don’t know want to invest in another concept where I will be doing all the work. Does anyone know any good concept that can actually have a good ROI? Thank you
What can you do if your franchise is hit by a scandal? - What can you do if your franchise is hit by a scandal? For instance, let's say your franchise's name is dragged through the mud by a food contamination incident. What can a franchise owner do to (if anything?) to keep sales up?
Re: Google Adsense - no visitors in 4 hours! - [quote="OmnivoreInk":22xccdap]and today no one's visited any of my sites at all in 4 hours??? I find that very difficult to believe. [/quote:22xccdap] To update, had 80 visitors between 5 and 6 pm...that's more like it... Nevertheless, that's 4 hours that have just disappeared and I don't really believe that no one looked at at least one page of my site in all that time.... Of course the internet in much of the Middle East seems to be down (and you can't tell me that wasn't sabotage... [i:22xccdap]three [/i:22xccdap]cables cut?) but I never got many visits from that area anyway. And there's snowstorms in the midwest.... but that means people should be stuck in their homes and surfing the web because they have nothing better to do... so still my hits should have been up, not absent! Ah, it's a mystery...
Re: Top Franchises For 2007 - I like to watch the fast food franchise industry push the fitness/beauty franchise industry and so forth. Assuming there exist other correlations like this within business opportunity investing, what are they? (maybe a topic for a whole new post)
