FRANCHINSING - ARE YOU READY TO GROW - ELEMENT 1

UNIQUENESS:

IF YOU WANT TO FRANCHISE YOUR BUSINESS, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ELEMENTS THAT YOU MUST CONSIDER. AN ANALYSIS OF THESES ELEMENTS WILL DETERMINE THE FRANCHISEABILITY OF YOUR COMPANY.

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

IN FUTURE ARTICLES I WILL OUTLINE THE OTHER 4 ELEMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BECOME A SUCCSSFUL FRANCHISOR.

building a list building a list - Good advice Martin... I've traveled down this path and learned that once you get through that brief learning curve, you'll find that it's well worth it. As you build your highly targeted list, you can trickle in your new offerings over time via 'broadcasts'. I use Aweber too, they have excellent support and a great rep. Buying a list? I'm not so sure about that... You'd really have to do some research to find a quality list service. Whether you buy a list or not, I still think setting up a auto-responder should be a priority, your list will GROW.
