Entrepreneur Speaks on Brand Extension in the Franchise Cleaning Business


On question I have been asked over and over again from prospective franchisees of our companies has been one in which I am very adamant about it; do we require prior experience?

The Very Basics of Design


Design is a very subjective thing, therefore, if you ask me how to come up with a first class design for your marketing collateral or publishing mediums, it would be very unfair for me or anyone else to tell you what is a good design and what is a bad design.

The main aim of every design material related to advertising or promotion is either to sell something, promote something or brand a company.

Trade Journals in Franchising


As many people know Industry Trade Journals in America have gone through a tough time in recent years due to slowing of advertising dollars. In franchising there is no difference. They use to give away subscriptions to Successful Franchising on franchise web sites; unfortunately that magazine was unable to weather the storm. They stop publishing in October of 2001.

Mascots ? The Killer Promotional Concept


Mascots are the unique dolls or puppets that help identify a sports team or a company. These carry the unique property of ?Stickiness?. Your great customer support and product quality sticks only so long. You got to remind folks often that you are there alive and well waiting for the next business transaction. The cheapest and effective way is creating and promoting a mascot for your company. Television Ads could have this mascot as the central theme or as an add-on. These typically tend to stick to the audience than your product or company name. This is both good and bad; a good mascot tends to make the customers take ownership of the mascot. Meaning they like to display and talk about it to others, a copycat cheap mascot brings in the wrath of the customer. So make a good Mascot for your company or team.

They pay an ad agency to write and produce their commercials.
