Podcast: Digital Marketing Trends in Franchising

Jack Monson’s Social Geek Radio podcast recently welcomed Location3 CEO Alex Porter for a discussion on digital marketing trends in franchising. Here’s an excerpt of the discussion.

Monson: What’s the biggest problem or maybe the biggest challenge that the CEOs and chief marketing officers are telling you about these days?

Porter: I think the biggest challenge that we’re seeing, that we’re collaborating with them to try to solve, is really franchisee involvement in marketing. A lot of these franchisors have in their FDDs (franchise disclosure document) that franchisees should be spending, but there’s not a lot of ability to make sure that they are actually spending in their local marketing areas.

It’s a two-fold problem. One is to make the franchisee understand the importance of spending dollars in-market, and then it’s how to make that easy and transparent, so that they can ultimately feel it in their revenue.
