Franchises

Franchise Marketing

Because franchises are usually international, national or regional brands; owners, operators, managers and marketers often think in terms of large-scale, mass-market campaigns when strategizing their sales, promotions and advertising initiatives.

And that’s definitely a great way to build a brand.

But when it comes to increasing sales and customer counts, the secret is to remember this foundational principle in everything you do:

Franchise Sales are Generated Locally!

Tom Feltenstein — notable restaurant expert, consultant, author, speaker, and CEO of Power Marketing Academy — learned this secret directly from McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc.   As Ray’s protégé, Tom paid close attention to what Ray called “Local Store Marketing” and later developed the Four Walls and Neighborhood System that consistently produces great results for restaurants, corporate franchise organizations and franchisees.

This powerful system has proven to increase sales and customer counts for foodservice franchises as well as many non-foodservice franchises.  You can read rave reviews about Tom’s presentations, consulting services, and instructional materials, or take a look at his client list among which you will recognize many of the top restaurant franchise companies in the U.S. including The Maids, East Coast Wings, LA Weightloss, Chick-Fil-A, Sam’s Club , Del Taco, El Pollo Loco, Long John Silver’s, McDonalds, Jani King, Papa John’s International, Pizza Hut, Sbarro, Sonic, Subway, Wendy’s, and many more.

But of course the most important thing you want to know is:  Does the program actually result in increased customers and sales? The answer is an emphatic “yes!”

Results

Tom’s programs have the proven ability to increase sales and profits at least 10 percent in the next 90 days. El Pollo Loco’s largest franchisee reported sales increases of 19.72% in 27 days — referring to these results as “borderline miraculous.”

The foundational elements of Tom Feltenstein’s system for increasing customer counts, sales, and profitability while improving employee morale and decreasing employee turnover include:

  • The key to increased sales and customer volumes is to think local.
  • “Local” begins within your four walls
    • The first step in the Four Walls Branding system is to begin by focusing on your most important customers, which are your employees. We’ll teach you how to transform your employees into your best ambassadors, and the principle of “face time marketing.”
    • The second phase is to recognize that your four walls are the most powerful media you have. We’ll teach you to use them to incredible advantage, blowing away the competition without spending big bucks on external advertising.
  • “Local” extends to your neighborhood. Your customer base is right in your own backyard and within 10 minutes of your front door. Learn how to effectively and cost-effectively promote your franchise within your goldmine quadrant and reap amazing results using community connections rather than expensive mass market advertising.

“You have done it again… Your message was not only right on target, but perfect for the franchise community.”



Don J. DeBolt Former President, International Franchise Association (IFA)

“Few people could have stepped in and “saved the day” as you did in the keynote session [2003] during the most successful convention in IFA’s history. You did a masterful job putting together a presentation that hit the bull’s-eye with the thousand or so franchising executives in the audience that morning… We can only marvel at the super talent you possess in being so willing and so brilliantly able to ignite a thoughtful and necessary rethinking of marketing.”


Sam G. Ballas, President/ CEO, East Coast Wings

Of course, there is no question of the power of your delivery to our emerging system this past March—having 100% support from our franchisees with the increased marketing fund expenses was amazing in of itself. The four walls approach secured my brands same store sales growth in this recession year. In a few unit cases, we saw as high as twenty-three percent (23%) sales increases. There is no doubt, looking at many industry peer numbers, your technique and strategy has assisted this growth being achieved.
