The exhibitions bring together high-quality investors from the UK and overseas with a wide variety of accredited franchised brands. The unique selling point of an exhibition is the face-to-face contact between franchisors and potential franchisees – exhibiting generates more leads than normal office- based meetings – and franchisors can be confident of the quality of the leads that they collect, as pre-qualifying questions can be asked on the day.
The fully integrated marketing campaign constantly evolves to bring you a fresh audience of potential franchisees, embracing new media, as well as the tried-and-tested avenues, and includes TV, radio, national and local newspapers, and e-newsletters, social networking and outplacement offices.
