7 Top Benefits Of A Direct Marketing Franchise

Looking for a business to business franchise opportunity that provides multiple revenue streams and monthly repeat business potential? A direct marketing franchise, combined with your previous sales and general business experience and your passion for building business relationships within your local community, puts you at the helm of your own marketing consulting empire. As a franchisee, you work with local business owners in developing cost-effective, customized marketing solutions that helps your client grow their business. You'll assist your client in creating top-notch offers that will drive targeted traffic to his location. At the same time, you provide your clients with the valuable, effective tools that will maximize the return on their advertising investment.

An attractive feature of a direct marketing franchise is the fact that you, the franchisee, are provided with all of the necessary ingredients to operate a thriving business, including the design, creation, and printing of the marketing pieces and coupons. Some franchisors furnish you with exclusive ad-building software, allowing you to create custom ads right on your laptop. So, no, you don't need to be an artist to succeed.

Several direct marketing franchises are well-known for their fantastic training and support which they provide. They typically start with an intensive one to two weeks initial training at the company's headquarters. Then, you'll be provided further "in the field" training at your location by a member of the franchisor's training department, along with ongoing support via intranet and teleconferencing.

Here are seven of the key benefits of partnering with a direct marketing franchise business:

1. Low initial investment and fast start-up. You can be in business for under 40k.

2. Home Based. No need for a brick and mortar location, as a home office works perfectly. This saves you tens of thousands of dollars.

3. Flexible lifestyle. As a B2B franchisee, you'll be working traditional business hours, 8 to 5, Monday thru Friday.

4. Assistance in generating clients. You're provided with highly effective lead generation techniques and appointment-setting strategies by the franchisor.

5. Relationship-driven business. Not only will you enjoy the prestige that comes with building business relationships, you'll generate even more business from the referrals you'll receive from your satisfied clients. Free leads!

6. Multiple income streams. Ability to offer a wide variety of marketing solutions to your clients that are tailor made for their unique business challenges.

7. Repeat business. Once you demonstrate the effectiveness that your advertising and marketing strategies have had on their bottom line, your clients will naturally be calling on you for additional campaigns.

Direct marketing franchises are a very necessary business type. All businesses that want to profit and thrive need guidance with cost-effective, successful marketing strategies. Truthfully, most business owners are more than willing to invest in an expert that can show them how to bring in new customers and grow the business.

Re: Info for would be franchisers... - [quote="Sebastien":1d29sdv1]Like Franchise Times, Franchise Update is a very practical magazine. There is no blah blah, just straight facts that anyone in the franchise community can relate to. I just want to mention that all these magazines are NOT franchisee oriented. I mean these magazines are for franchise professionals. If you're looking to buy a franchise, you won't find much information in there. To answer your question, getting published in Franchise Times was fairly easy. I don't want to brag too much but I think I am known in the franchise industry. I was the marketing guy at Franchise.com for a few years before joining my new company, the World Franchising Network. So people know me and I have a very good relationship with Nancy Weingartner, the Managing Editor at Franchise Times. I was talking with her at the last Franchise Expo South in Miami and she mentioned she'd like me to be profiled. I was like "ok, sure!". I like this franchise executive profile thing in Franchise Times as it is rarely BS. People are usually really natural in there.[/quote:1d29sdv1] Thanks for the follow up Sebastien! And I can't say that I'm surprised that networking with the right people and managing your relationships with them properly are the keys to being published. I guess the old adage holds true of "it's not who you know, but who knows you" that's important.

how much for a franchise fee? - Dear Colleague There is no easy answer to this question. Things to consider: [list=] The sizeof the Franchise Clent base Expected Turnover Intellectual Property costs (recoup) Number of Franchises Number of employees Original Set up costs Franchise admin costs An example: A franchise that I was involved in setting was to a simple "lawn mowing/home repair" franchise. The Franchise included national/local advertising - preparation of client lists - general admin - central accounting etc The Franchise involved 300-500 clients - and an annual turnover of about $300,000 . The annual franchise fee was $30,000. Hope that this gives you some idea Take care Ian[/list]
Re: Franchise Surveys - Another good tool to researching a franchise is to speak with their existing franchisees. This contact information is included in most Franchise Disclosure Documents. In order to get a Franchise Disclosure Document or FDD as it is often referred to, you will have to complete a basic franchise application. The franchisor will then usually provide you with the FDD at that time. Included in that book of information is a list of the existing franchisees, the contract, the investment information etc... This information is required by Federal Law to be disclosed to your prior to making a purchase. So be sure to do your research and start with the Franchise Documents to get the initial information.
