Simplify expansion with franchise marketing tools
As your business expands to multiple locations and franchises, managing marketing for the brand and each location can be quite a challenge. Keeping marketing efforts organized grows more complex with each new location. Tracking and measuring results becomes more complicated as well, potentially compromising your ability to see what’s working and what’s not. And as a franchisor, you want to be sure that every marketing campaign reflects the personality and value proposition of the business while still connecting with the needs of each local community and location.
That’s where Hub by Thryv can help. As an do-it-all platform for franchise marketing, sales, management and CRM activities, Hub lets you manage nearly every aspect of a business with multiple locations – from one platform, with one login.
The challenges of franchise marketing
When adding new locations and franchises, businesses face several critical challenges as they seek to manage marketing with creativity, consistency and clarity.
Consistent messaging
While franchise owners may want to give each location some creative freedom in determining market strategy and messaging, too much variation in marketing messages between locations can compromise the brand.
Differentiating sites
Relying on a single, common website can reinforce brand consistency. Yet, this practice may not allow individual franchises to connect with their local communities or rank as high on search engine results pages.
Lack of organization
With a growing number of locations, franchise marketing can become chaotic and overwhelming. Franchise owners and managers need tools that allow them to methodically plan and launch marketing campaigns in a timely way. A unified franchise marketing solution can dramatically reduce the time and effort required to create, launch and track multi-location campaigns.
Confusing metrics
With multiple franchise marketing campaigns, the task of measuring and tracking results becomes exponentially complex.
