What is Franchise Marketing?

Franchise marketing is a term used to describe all the marketing activities a franchise needs to grow and generate sales. Now more than ever before, franchise marketing is essential to the success of any sized franchise.

Franchise businesses need two types of franchise marketing constantly running in parallel to succeed.

What's the difference between franchise sales marketing and franchise consumer marketing?

There is franchise marketing that’s job is to add new franchisees, often called franchise sales marketing, and there is franchise consumer marketing that’s job is to add revenue through customer acquisition and sales.

Franchise Marketing to Add Franchisees and Locations

Franchise brokers, franchise sales consultants, and franchise sales organizations (FSOs) often handle franchisors’ franchise marketing activities. Franchise sales marketing involves finding, matching, and ultimately connecting entrepreneurs interested in becoming franchisees with franchisors.

Franchise Marketing to Add Customers and Sales Revenue

Franchises rely heavily on ad agencies and digital marketing agencies, like Peratomic, for marketing focused on customer acquisition and sales.

Some types of franchise marketing managed by digital marketing agencies include national and local websites, search engine optimization (or SEO), search engine marketing (also called pay-per-click), local marketing, social media marketing, email marketing, content marketing, digital ads, virtual events, and public relations.

Smart franchises partner with digital marketing agencies that use marketing automation and lead generators as a foundation for their franchise marketing strategy. This is because marketing automation and lead generators:

walk would-be customers through the buyer’s journey,
decrease marketing costs,
and when done well, dramatically increase leads.

Peratomic software takes marketing automation and lead generation to the next level by allowing franchisors and franchisees to efficiently work together to deliver personalized marketing campaigns for every location.

Top Digital Marketing Tools for Franchise Marketing

Website

Having a primary website for the franchise brand is a must. And in many cases, franchises can boost sales by having a web presence representing each community where they exist. Websites not only serve as a 24-hour sales team but allow customers to connect at a local level through localized culture and promotions.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

5.6 billion people perform searches on Google every day. Search Engine Optimization ensures search engines can find, index, and rank your website’s content. Good SEO maximizes the number of times a website displays organically (or non-paid) on search result pages (SERPs) for relevant searches.

Search Engine Marketing

Search engines with ads like Google Search and Microsoft Bing use a complex bid system to position paid search listings near the top of search results pages. Franchises can use paid search marketing (also called PPC) to target customers throughout the buyer’s journey and across geographic places.

Local Marketing

Local listing sites and services like Google Business Profile help consumers find nearby destinations and often offer helpful links, photos, offers, reviews, and more. Local consumer marketing at the franchisee location level is critical in closing marketing efforts with a sale.

Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing enables franchises to reach prospects online where they are already. About 2 billion people use Facebook daily, and 10 million use LinkedIn monthly. As critical as reach, though, is resonance. Knowing your audience well offers confidence in what platforms social ads should run on.

Email Marketing

Email marketing is a cost-effective digital marketing tool that can nurture customer loyalty with a blend of announcements, helpful resources, and incentives. As part of an overall marketing strategy, email marketing is pivotal to lead generation, brand awareness, and keeping customers engaged between purchases.
