In this article, we will clarify the differences between franchise marketing and small business marketing, and what, in our experience is the least understood aspect by franchisors, and that is the advantages of leveraging the franchise business model for marketing, before covering the importance of reputation management, and how SeoSamba’s unique Franchise Marketing Operating System provides an all-encompassing solution for franchise brand marketing needs.
Franchise Marketing vs. Small Business Marketing
While both franchise marketing and small business marketing aim to promote products and services, there are key differences between the two. Franchise marketing encompasses two main areas: franchise development marketing and operational franchise marketing.
Franchise development marketing focuses on expanding the franchise by attracting new owners in new territories. This involves creating targeted campaigns to reach potential franchisees and showcase the benefits and profitability of joining the franchise system. On the other hand, operational franchise marketing concentrates on empowering individual franchisees to sell products and services to consumers in their local markets effectively.
Leveraging the Franchise Business Model for Digital Marketing
The franchise business model offers distinct advantages for marketing purposes. Its distributed architecture allows franchisors to take advantage of their scale to dominate a local market.
This means that franchises can harness the power of automation and technology to streamline marketing efforts across multiple locations. That is if franchisors have understood the necessity of using a marketing platform that allows for true distributed marketing; a marketing automation solution that will ensure performance and success with Google by enabling the dissemination of geographically relevant and search engine optimized content across websites, and platforms.
THIS, in our experience, is the single most important factor in emerging brands digital marketing success.
