Franchise Benefits - Part 2

In my last blog post I discussed one of the biggest benefits to a franchise - consistency of expectation. Because a franchise is by definition part of a larger organization, it is possible to standardize products and processes.

Another advantage to a franchise operation is the pooling of resources for a common good. If you own a small business that is not part of a franchise, you are entirely responsible for your own advertising costs. However, as a franchisee, you will often pay a monthly fee to the owning company for purposes of nationwide and regional advertising. Think for a second about all of the commercials you see in a given day. How many of them are for a business that currently offers a franchise opportunity?

It would be incredibly expensive for an individual franchise to purchase national advertising time during a prime-time show or sporting event. However, when the resources of thousands of franchisees are pooled, it is possible to expand the effectiveness of these advertising dollars. Instead of spending 100% percent of the required cash for an advertisement, a franchisee will pay a small percentage of the cost but will receive 100% of the benefits.
