How We Will Support You
MARKETING
The best thing about joining an established franchise is that you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. When it comes to marketing, we have all the creative materials you need built and ready to go including brochures, letterhead, flyers, and business cards. Our talented graphic design team creates constantly evolving content for a strong online presence, ads, and personalized material you request.
TRAINING
Our number one priority is training, and our Home Office is dedicated to the training and support of new franchisees. Your training starts with a 4-week online pre-training course, followed by an 8-day hands-on training at our Home Office in Aberdeen, SD. You will learn how to run every aspect of your business: marketing, sales, accounting, hiring, profitability, and everything in between.
ONLINE LEAD GENERATION
Our national pay-per-click program is one of the ways that we continue to dominate our field online. Our website is built to optimize search engines and we continue to build the brand name using social media and networking, blogs and targeted public relations efforts. We’ll also show you how to optimize the web presence in your local market.
GROUP BUYING POWER
Negotiating a better price for the franchisees and their customers is just one more benefit of working within a franchise system. With the power of a group of franchise owners, you’ll find some of the best prices in the industry. With a larger volume buy comes more attention to each owner and special benefits not afforded to local “mom and pop” shops.
