Here are some low cost tips for spreading the word and competing with the big boys for the best franchise owners:
Stop apologizing for being small.
In case you haven’t heard, SMALL is the new BIG. We’re spreading the word about the fresh idea and opportunities that abound among the newest and most exciting franchise opportunities. (Read Sean Kelly’s Brave New Franchises for a few reasons why new franchises are worth a look).
Get nominated as a Top New Franchise
It’s free. Nominate your own concept, or invite one of your fans to do so. CLICK HERE.
Campaign for votes & endorsements. It’s also free. Once you’re nominated, contact everyone who loves, likes, supports or is supported by your franchise. Invite them to show their support by leaving a comment on why yours is a Top New Franchise. Post a link using our free Campaign Tools.
Maximize WOMM.
Word of Mouth Marketing is the most powerful - and inexpensive - force there is. You earned an enthusiastic following of customers, employees, colleagues, and vendors. Their endorsements are your most powerful marketing tool… and they are your best option for spreading the word. You’ll gain valuable word of mouth just by soliciting votes… and spreading the word about your nomination!
Get national recognition.
How’d Subway add 900 new U.S. franchisees last year? Franchise shoppers want third party endorsement… assurance that others recognize the merits of your opportunity. Subway works hard to rank high in Top Franchise listings… and you should to.
Spread the word locally.
Get recognized nationally so that you can market locally. Local papers might not feature your franchise because you say it’s great… but they will when you are nominated for a national award like Top New Franchise. They’ll be more impressed if you win.
Join the Top New Franchises Promotional Campaign.
Participation in the basic nomination process is free, but participating in the aggressive and lively Top New Franchises promotional is powerful and cost-effective. You’ll receive enhanced listings and exposure, regular interviews and articles posted on major franchise websites, and be featured in national and regional press release distribution and email campaigns. Email us at info[at]ideafarm.net for promotional options!
Involve your PR firm, ad agency and advertising sites. If you have a PR firm or advertising agency, or you are advertising on franchise advertising portals, we will work with both client and agency to maximize the benefit of your participation in the Top New Franchises promotional program.
Start 2008 as a Top New Franchise winner.
At the end of the year, we will invite and panel of entrepreneurial, small business and franchise industry professionals to vote on the Top New Franchises presented on TopNewFranchises.Com, and to award Top New Franchise awards in a number of categories and designations.
