Letter from the Chair of the IFA Supplier Forum Advisory Board

Dear Valued Members of the IFA Community,

It is my privilege to address you as Chair of the International Franchise Association’s Supplier Forum Advisory Board and to welcome you to this year’s IFA Supplier Source Book—a trusted guide to the many partners who strengthen and support our franchising community.

Suppliers play a vital and multifaceted role within the IFA. We are not merely vendors—we are partners in the growth, stability, and success of franchise systems. From marketing and legal support to technology, HR, benefits, finance, and fractional leadership services, suppliers serve as an extension of franchisors’ and franchisees’ teams. We provide the expertise and resources that allow franchised businesses to scale efficiently, maintain compliance, and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving marketplace.

The Supplier Forum Advisory Board is a group of dedicated, volunteer supplier leaders elected to represent the interests of all supplier members within the IFA. Our mission is to ensure that the voice of suppliers is heard, that our partnerships remain meaningful and responsible, and that the supplier community continues to uphold the highest standards of integrity and service. The Supplier Forum Advisory Board works closely with IFA leadership, committees, and staff to foster collaboration, create educational opportunities, and promote best practices that elevate franchising as a whole.

At the heart of our efforts is the principle of Responsible Supplying—a commitment to ethical partnerships, transparent practices, and genuine alignment with the needs and goals of our franchisor and franchisee partners. Responsible suppliers understand that every solution we provide must strengthen the franchise model, protect the brand, and create long-term value for all stakeholders.

I want to extend my sincere gratitude to every member of the Supplier Forum Advisory Board for their ongoing leadership and engagement, and to the many suppliers featured in this Source Book who embody professionalism and partnership in their work every day.

On behalf of the Supplier Forum Advisory Board, thank you for your continued collaboration and trust. Together—as franchisors, franchisees, and suppliers—we drive innovation, accountability, and growth across our great industry.

Warm regards,

Marcia Mead Chair, IFA Supplier

Increase Revenue Through Customer Happiness

BY KAREN BOOZE, CFE, ANSWERCONNECT

COMPANY BIO

AnswerConnect provides 24/7 live answering services to ensure your business stays connected when customers need you most. We expertly manage calls, messages, and appointments, so you never miss an opportunity to connect with new & existing clients ever again. Our services seamlessly integrate with your tools and our custom scripts are tailored to meet your business needs. With friendly receptionists on hand to manage calls and inquiries, you can grow your business and provide excellent customer care at every turn.

Every franchise business has their own specific ways of operating, their own unique challenges and an intricate understanding of what success means to them. Throughout all of the granularity and intricacies, however, there remains one common thread. The need to generate revenue. Here’s 5 ways an answering service can help your franchise make more money through increasing customer happiness

1. Better customer service

Customer service is your best secret weapon when it comes to retaining clients and keeping them coming back for more. With an answering service you can provide 24/7, brand-consistent support when your customers need it. At AnswerConnect, every caller is connected to a friendly, helpful receptionist when they call your business. With better customer service, comes a better reputation. You know what they say, the best form of marketing is word of mouth. These days, testimony is everything.

2. Lead capture and qualification

This might seem like stating the obvious but it's an often overlooked and underappreciated facet of enabling your franchise system growth. When you capture and qualify more leads it’s more than likely that you’re going to start making more money. Answering services play a vital role for franchise system growth, handling tasks like qualifying leads, collecting important information such as contact details, and efficiently scheduling appointments. By managing these tasks effectively, they ensure that franchise businesses don't miss out on valuable opportunities. They streamline the lead management process, helping franchisees promptly engage with prospects, which ultimately boosts conversion rates and enhances customer satisfaction.

3. Appointment scheduling

Scheduling appointments can be a great way for your franchise to secure new business. Making sure that every opportunity is captured can be demanding, especially when franchisees are already spinning so many other plates.

operating hours, boosting revenue and expanding their customer base.

4. Customer retention

Ever heard of the Pareto principle? Boiled down, it essentially states that 80% of results come from 20% of the causes. This same rule applies to your franchise customer base—a majority of your revenue will be generated by a smaller proportion of loyal customers. That means that repeat customers should play a big part in your revenue growth strategy.

Implementing an answering service for customer retention offers a practical solution for franchises looking to strengthen their client relationships affordably. By providing professional, brand-consistent support, promptly addressing inquiries and delivering exemplary service, you can drastically improve satisfaction and build loyalty. You’re being flexible and adapting your business to the needs of your clients, not the other way around. (With a customer-centric approach, customers are more likely to feel appreciated and supported.)

5: Keeping your business open 24/7

The longer your franchise stays open, the more opportunities will come your way. Simple right? Short answer, no. But it could be. Constantly working and spinning so many plates can leave little time for anything else. According to the University of California, over 50% of business owners face burnout

This doesn’t have to be the case. Customer service can take a large proportion of a franchisee's time. By alleviating this responsibility, franchisees have the freedom to focus on other things where they can make a big impact. By passing on the reins to an answering service, a business can stay open longer, and take inquiries and calls from customers at unsociable hours—helping the franchisee enjoy their free time and generate more revenue. n

Securing Funding with an SBA/ Lender Compliant Business Plan: Essential Insights for Entrepreneurs

BY REG BYRD, BENETRENDS

Benetrends Financial

has been a leader in small business and franchise funding for over 40 years. We specialize in helping entrepreneurs launch and grow their businesses through innovative funding solutions, including 401(k)/IRA rollovers (ROBS), SBA loans, and unsecured funding. As the preferred funding partner of the International Franchise Association (IFA), we offer expert guidance, fast access to capital, and tailored solutions to fit the unique needs of each client. Benetrends is committed to supporting business success every step of the way.

At Benetrends, we understand that an effective business plan is not just a formal document, but a strategic tool essential for securing funding and driving business growth. When approaching lenders or investors, a well-constructed SBA/Lender Compliant Business Plan sets the foundation for success, providing credibility and a clear roadmap for your business.

The Importance of Business Plans in Securing Funding

Establishing Credibility

A professionally developed business plan signals to lenders that you’re serious, prepared, and knowledgeable. It reduces perceived risks by demonstrating that you have thoroughly researched the industry and competitors. Including detailed market analysis within your plan reassures lenders of your understanding of the business environment, showing that you're equipped to make informed decisions.

Financial Projections and Use of Funds

Lenders heavily rely on the financial projections provided in your business plan to assess the viability of your venture. By including income statements, cash flow projections, and break-even analysis, you demonstrate that your business is prepared for growth and repayment. Clearly articulating how you plan to use the funds shows lenders that their investment will be managed effectively, building their confidence to proceed.

Aligning Goals and Risk Mitigation

A successful business plan aligns stakeholders around a clear mission and goals. It also includes risk assessments, identifying potential obstacles and strategies to overcome them. This forward-thinking approach reassures lenders that you’re equipped to navigate challenges successfully, further improving your chances of securing financing.

Key Components of a Winning Business Plan

To maximize your chances of securing funding, certain components are critical in a business plan:

X Executive Summary: A clear, concise overview of your business and its objectives.

X Detailed Descriptions: Thorough explanations of products or services.

X Market Analysis: Evidence of an understanding of the competitive landscape.

X Marketing Strategies: Plans for how you will promote and grow your business.

X Financial Models: Projections that include realistic income, cash flow, and repayment strategies.

Additionally, qualifications of the management team, collateral, and a solid repayment plan are essential in establishing creditworthiness.

The Role of Business Plans in Long-Term Success

Beyond securing funding, an SBA/Lender Compliant Business Plan functions as a roadmap, keeping the business aligned with its goals as it grows. It also attracts future investment by illustrating a clear vision for growth and sustainability.

At Benetrends, we craft Executive-Level Business Plans that include comprehensive financial models and market analysis tailored to each client. Our goal is to provide entrepreneurs with the strategic tools they need to secure financing, whether through SBA loans, our ROBS funding programs, or other options. A well-prepared business plan can be the key to unlocking the financing you need to bring your business vision to life. n

Streamlining Franchise Marketing for Brand Consistency and Local Impact

BY MATTHEW MONTOYA, CONSTANT CONTACT

COMPANY BIO

Constant Contact’s franchise-specific solution offers the flexibility franchises need to maintain brand consistency while empowering franchisees to market locally. With our comprehensive email and digital marketing platform, franchisors can implement approval workflows and lock crucial branding elements. Set your brand up for success with best-in-class marketing tools, customized onboarding, and hands-on support.

In the competitive world of franchising, success depends on balancing brand consistency with local market engagement. Whether you're a franchisor looking to expand or a franchisee focused on growing locally, the key to simplifying complex marketing efforts lies in a centralized, effective email marketing strategy.

Franchises thrive on relationships—between franchisors, franchisees, and customers. Email marketing builds on these connections, extending the essential "word-of-mouth" reach. It allows franchises to nurture loyalty and drive engagement with timely, relevant messages. However, the challenge is ensuring each location maintains brand consistency while giving franchisees the flexibility to adapt to local needs. This is where a centralized email marketing solution shines.

Why Email Marketing Works for Franchises

Franchisors need to balance two objectives: maintaining a unified brand image while empowering franchisees to create localized campaigns. A centralized email marketing system achieves this balance by delivering branded content that franchisees can personalize for their markets. This ensures brand consistency while addressing the unique needs of each location’s audience.

When used effectively, email marketing isn’t just another communication tool—it strengthens relationships. Personalized, consistent messaging helps franchises connect more deeply with their customers, driving loyalty and engagement.

Key Elements of a Strong Franchise Marketing Strategy

Franchises need more than just email to thrive in today’s digital landscape. A robust marketing strategy should include AI-powered content creation, social media engagement, and marketing automation to maximize outreach and efficiency.

X AI-Powered Content Creation: Modern AI tools save time by automating the creation of high-quality, tailored content for email, SMS, and social media. These tools generate messages aligned with both brand standards and local needs, ensuring

consistency across channels while allowing franchisees to focus on running their business.

X Social Media Engagement: Local social media management helps franchisees build community relationships. Reusing content from email campaigns allows them to promote local events and share customer stories, driving foot traffic and deepening customer loyalty—all while maintaining consistent messaging across platforms.

X Marketing Automation: Franchisors can streamline marketing efforts by automating campaigns that can be shared across locations. Automated personalized messages—such as welcome emails or special offers—help franchisees engage customers consistently while maintaining brand alignment.

The Power of Centralized Marketing

A centralized marketing platform enables franchisors to balance brand consistency with local flexibility. Here’s how it supports franchise marketing:

X Brand Consistency: Centralized templates allow franchisors to control key brand elements while enabling franchisees to personalize messages for their market. This ensures consistent, high-quality communication across all locations.

X Campaign Management: Franchisors can launch large-scale campaigns from a central platform, ensuring consistent messaging across all locations. This saves time and lets franchisees focus on local engagement.

X Local Franchise Empowerment: Franchisees benefit from tools that allow them to create localized campaigns while staying aligned with the brand’s overall strategy.

X Campaign Approval Process: Franchisors can approve franchisee-generated campaigns before they go live, ensuring all messaging complies with brand guidelines while allowing for local customization.

X Simplified Opt-Out Management: Managing email lists across multiple locations can be challenging. A global unsubscribe feature ensures that customers who opt out are removed from all location lists, helping prevent communication overload and ensuring compliance.

Measuring Success with Data-Driven Insights

The success of any marketing strategy lies in measurable results. Tracking key metrics—like open rates, click-through rates, and conversions—gives both franchisors and franchisees valuable insights. Centralized reporting tools enable franchisors to monitor campaign performance across multiple locations, allowing for continuous optimization. This data-driven approach ensures franchises can refine their strategies for better results over time. n

The Silent Revenue Leak in Franchising: Broken Listings

BY MARK SPENCER, CONSUMER FUSION

COMPANY BIO

Consumer Fusion is the IFA Preferred Vendor for reputation management, listings, social media, and more. Our AI-powered platform and strategic support help franchises and multi-location brands boost reviews, improve local visibility, and protect their reputation through automation, advanced tools, and white-glove service. Trusted by 100+ franchise brands and recognized as a Top Franchise Supplier for four consecutive years, Consumer Fusion combines technology and strategy to drive measurable growth and brand consistency across every location.

Every franchisor wants the same thing: more calls, more traffic, more revenue. But here’s the truth: one of the biggest revenue leaks in franchising has nothing to do with your ads or your sales team.

It’s your listings.

When people search “near me” on Google, Apple Maps, or AI tools like ChatGPT, they expect accurate, trustworthy results and those same platforms expect the same thing. Google and AI-powered search engines reward businesses that have complete, consistent, and reliable information.

The problem? Managing listings across a franchise network is messy. You might have dozens or even hundreds of locations, each with its own hours, services, and updates. Multiply that across 50+ online directories and suddenly you’re trying to manage thousands of tiny details.

Meanwhile, AI search engines are busy scanning for inconsistencies, checking who’s accurate, and deciding which brands deserve to show up first.

When your information is missing or outdated, your brand loses visibility and trust. And once that customer clicks away, the revenue is gone.

Why Listings Matter More Than Ever

Franchising has always been local. Even with national brand recognition, every customer still walks into a specific store, restaurant, or service provider. That’s why listings are so important they’re the digital front door for every location.

When taken listings seriously, the results speak for themselves:

X Visibility: Optimized locations rank higher in maps, search, and AI results, helping more customers find you first.

X Accuracy: Up-to-date details like hours, addresses, and categories build trust and prevent customers from going elsewhere.

X Consistency: When every location looks reliable online, it strengthens your brand and drives more calls, visits, and sales.

Strong listings = stronger locations. Today, listings aren’t just a checklist item. They’re what make you visible and discoverable in the first place

The Data Says It All

X 75% of top-ranking pages have complete Google Business Profile descriptions. X 48% of Google Business Profile actions lead to website visits.

X Customers are 70% more likely to visit a business with a complete profile and 50% more likely to buy from it.

Incomplete listings don’t just cost clicks. They cost customers.

Why AI Is the Game-Changer

Manual updates don’t scale and “good enough” doesn’t cut it anymore.

Artificial Intelligence changes that. With AI, franchisors can:

X Spot gaps instantly: Scan listings and flag missing details.

X Get smarter recommendations: Focus on what search engines prioritize keywords, categories, and descriptions.

X Scale fixes fast: Apply improvements across locations in a few clicks.

At Consumer Fusion, we’re seeing this firsthand. With our Smarter AI Listings Recommendations, franchisors are saving time, creating consistency, and boosting visibility across networks.

Our latest dashboard enhancement was built to make listings management smarter and easier. Instead of guessing what to improve, users get real-time AI suggestions for business descriptions, categories, and keywords right inside the dashboard. See how many recommendations exist per location, which businesses are impacted, and apply updates in seconds.

The result? Smarter listings, stronger visibility, and less work. AI isn’t the future; it’s the competitive edge franchises are using today.

From Broken Listings to Brand Growth

Yesterday, simply “being listed” was enough. Then, accuracy and clicks became the goal. Today, the question is: “Is my franchise the one AI recommends first?”

With Consumer Fusion’s AI Listings Recommendations, franchisors can confidently answer yes. Our platform turns listings from a chore into a growth strategy, helping every location perform like your best one.

One Partner, One Process: The Future of Franchise Real Estate

BY JONATHAN HILL, MORROW HILL

COMPANY BIO

Morrow Hill is a technology-driven commercial real estate firm exclusively representing tenants with an unbiased, market-true lens. From national portfolio management and transaction oversight to franchise site selection and lease administration, Morrow Hill delivers end-to-end real estate solutions powered by proprietary tools like Vision Map® and Vision Track®. The firm's design, build, and manage approach includes space planning, regulatory assessment, project management, and more.

For decades, franchise real estate has been a fragmented process. Brands have juggled brokers, architects, designers, contractors, and attorneys—each working in isolation, each with its own timelines, fees, and communication barriers. The result has often been inconsistency, delays, and costly surprises that stall a brand’s expansion.

Morrow Hill saw an opportunity to change that. By uniting every stage of the real estate journey—site selection, legal coordination, design, project management, and data analytics—under one roof, the company has built a model designed for speed, accuracy, and accountability. The idea is simple but powerful: when everyone works together from day one, outcomes improve across the board.

Breaking Down the Silos

Traditional franchise growth models rely on multiple outside vendors who rarely share data or systems. A real estate broker might identify a great location, but without input from design or construction, that site could later prove cost-prohibitive or out of compliance. Morrow Hill’s Design + Build + Manage framework eliminates that risk by connecting each step in real time.

Using proprietary technology platforms like Vision Map® and Vision Track®, Morrow Hill gives franchisors and franchisees transparent visibility into every milestone. Territory mapping, data analytics, and real estate journey stages help guide our work—from the first territory mapping exercise to the final punch list before opening. This integration ensures decisions are made with complete context, not partial information. We assist franchise development professionals by providing crucial territory mapping that supports their sales process.

Data-Driven Decisions

Every great location starts with insight. Vision Map® provides detailed psychographic, demographic, and traffic patterns market analysis to reveal where customers live, work, and play, and their habits. We avoid relying on outdated systems or processes. Franchise systems can visualize performance potential down to the site level.

Once sites are identified, Morrow Hill’s team moves seamlessly into due diligence, design, and construction planning—coordinating architects, engineers, and contractors through a single project manager. Legal, lease review, and permitting happen alongside design, reducing timelines by weeks and months.

A Better Experience for Franchisees

For franchise owners, real estate can be the most intimidating part of launching a business, but Morrow Hill's integrated model reduces that complexity. Each franchisee works with one consistent team who manages communication between all partners—so they can focus on building their business, not managing their build-out.

It’s a model that also protects brand standards. By keeping every phase within the same ecosystem, Morrow Hill helps ensure that design intent, materials, and operational flow remain consistent from one location to the next.

Scaling Smarter

As franchise systems scale nationally or internationally, efficiency becomes the difference between steady growth and stalled expansion. The Design + Build + Manage approach allows brands to open locations faster, forecast costs more accurately, and adapt to changing market conditions. It replaces the old, reactive model with a proactive, technology-enabled one.

For franchisors looking to modernize their development process, this isn’t just a convenience—it’s a competitive edge.

The Better Way

Morrow Hill's mission is to make real estate one less thing franchisors have to worry about. With data at the center and collaboration built in from the start, the company is proving that growth doesn’t have to be complicated. There’s a smarter, more transparent, and more reliable way forward—one partner, one process, and one shared goal: helping franchises open with confidence and scale with speed. n

Why Video Is Essential for Franchise Businesses Today

BY GABRIELLA FERRARA, SCORPION

COMPANY BIO

Scorpion is the leader in helping franchise businesses drive revenue through digital marketing solutions. With technology focused on maximizing results at every step of the client journey, Scorpion is pushing the industry forward past a focus on leads, and toward a focus on what truly matters: revenue growth. Backed by award-winning AI, unmatched data, and more than 20 years of marketing expertise, Scorpion helps local businesses win more customers and more revenue. With Scorpion, there’s no guesswork, only growth. To learn more, visit Scorpion.co

Homeowners expect more than just text on a website, they expect to see the real people behind your business. Video has become one of the most powerful ways for franchises to stand out, build trust, and ultimately drive more qualified leads.

Why Franchise Businesses Can’t Ignore Video

When a customer needs HVAC repair, plumbing help, or pest control, they’re not just buying a service, they’re choosing someone they trust to come into their home. Video bridges that trust gap in a way text and stock photos never can.

X Authority in an AI-driven world: As AI increasingly shapes how people search for and choose businesses, credibility signals matter more than ever. Consistently publishing authentic, high-quality video content shows both search engines and AI platforms that your business is legitimate and trustworthy.

X A real face to your name: Unlike generic stock imagery of “the guy in overalls with a hard hat,” video shows your actual technicians, your trucks, and your service in action. That authenticity instantly separates you from competitors using cookie-cutter websites.

X Trust through testimonials: Written reviews are helpful, but video testimonials from real homeowners carry far more weight. Seeing and hearing their positive experience builds confidence that your business delivers.

The Measurable Impact of Video

Video isn’t just about branding, it drives real results for franchise businesses:

X 29% year-over-year growth in organic leads for companies using Scorpion Studios video packages, compared to 17% for similar businesses without video.

X Nearly half of homeowners say they hesitate to contact a business that doesn’t have video content, and that number jumps to 60% among homeowners under 45.

X One in three younger homeowners prioritize businesses that feature videos and images in reviews. Video makes your reputation authentic and relatable.

When you consistently publish video across your site, social channels, and reviews, you’re not just improving visibility, you’re increasing conversions. Many business owners hear prospects say: “I already picked you before I called.” That’s the power of a brand that feels real and trustworthy.

Video as the Centerpiece of Your Marketing Calendar

One of the biggest mistakes companies make is treating video as a one-time project. At Scorpion, we view video as part of a marketing calendar, a steady pulse that brings your business to life month after month.

That means you’re not just creating a single “about us” video. Instead, you’re producing:

X Monthly brand stories that highlight your team and values

X Customer testimonial videos that reinforce your reputation

X FAQ and explainer clips tied to your services (e.g., “How to know if your AC needs repair”)

X Custom social ads that look and feel like your business, not stock photos

This consistency signals to both customers and AI-driven search engines that your business is active, credible, and trustworthy.

Building a Brand That Lasts

Video is more than marketing, it’s about building a reputation that homeowners remember. Just as TV commercials once helped local service providers become household names, today’s video campaigns allow you to achieve that same recognition across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and more.

Businesses that invest in professional, authentic video content aren’t just getting more calls, they’re shaping how their community perceives them.

And in this industry, trust and reputation drive decisions.

Ready to Put Video to Work for Your Business?

Video is no longer optional for franchise businesses that want to compete and grow. It builds trust, improves visibility, and drives measurable lead growth. At Scorpion, we help businesses like yours capture authentic stories and put them to work across your entire marketing strategy. n

Hiring 101: How To Hire the Right Employees

BY PAYCHEX

COMPANY BIO

Paychex, Inc. is a leading provider of integrated human capital management solutions for payroll, benefits, human resources, and insurance services and proud to be a preferred vendor of the International Franchise Association.

By combining its innovative softwareas-a-service technology and mobility platform with dedicated, personal service, Paychex empowers business owners to focus on the growth and management of their business.

Paychex Integrations connect the Paychex Flex® platform with other systems to help businesses run efficiently by sharing data smoothly and automatically without manual intervention.

With the high demand for quality workers, recruiting and hiring qualified employees can become time-consuming and expensive. Establishing and following a methodical hiring process can help to ensure you're getting an employee who is a good fit for the role and your business culture.

Before You Start: Ensure Your Business Is Prepared To Hire New Employees X Research

As you prepare to hire new staff, take time to carefully assess exactly what you need your new employees to do. You will also need to research the most current federal, state, and local laws that govern employee and employer tax requirements, anti-discrimination, and salary transparency to make sure your hiring practices are up to date.

X New Hire Paperwork

Be prepared for your new hire by having any necessary paperwork ready to go.

The Hiring Process: Steps to Hiring an Employee

Your workers are one of your business's most important assets and bringing on new hires merits the time and attention this process demands.

1. Evaluate the Needs of the Business

It's challenging to focus on hiring employees if you are unclear about the needs of the business or the position itself. Employers should identify where there are talent gaps in the business and the need for one or more employees.

2. Create a Job Description

Attracting qualified candidates often hinges on a carefully crafted and accurate job description. In general, the more accurate your job description, the better you can maintain parameters

around the types of skills or experiences you'll consider as minimum requirements, so you can quickly screen out applicants who lack the necessary skills for the role.

3. Find Qualified Candidates

You know precisely what the job entails, but what about the process of attracting qualified job candidates to fill the position? The best hiring solutions include a comprehensive strategy to attract the right job seekers from a variety of sources, including but not limited to: X Employee referrals

X Online job postings

X AI-assisted recruitment:

X Networking

X Consider past candidates

X Advertise on your company website

Keep in mind that state and/ or local laws may require you to disclose the expected pay range and benefits to job applicants. This disclosure may be required as early as in the job posting, while other pay transparency laws may require that this information be made available upon request, at the point of an interview or at the time an offer is made.

4. Strategically Interview Applicants

After you identify candidates for the position, having a wellplanned interview strategy can help you uncover useful information during the process.

5. Conduct Background and Reference Checks

When you're down to your top candidate who may seem

suited for an open position and you’re ready to make an offer of employment, consider the benefits of extending a contingent job offer subject to a thorough background check.

6. Selecting a Candidate With the Desired Qualities

Depending on the role and responsibilities, there are going to be certain qualities to look for when hiring an employee.

7. Extending the Job Offer

A thorough interview process will hopefully help you and your team select a great candidate who can bring the right qualifications and values to the business.

8. Effectively Onboard Your Chosen Employee

After the interview process, onboarding sets the tone for your employee’s experience with your business. Set them up for success by encouraging engagement and commitment from day one. Generally, a new employee will have many questions.

Modern Messaging Strategies Strengthen the Franchise Customer Experience

Evolving Preferences are Reshaping Engagement from Lead to Loyalty

BY WADE MOSIER, TEXTELLENT

COMPANY BIO

Textellent is an award-winning text messaging platform crafted by franchise veterans for franchise brands. Offering multi-location solutions with a franchisor module, it provides branding and compliance controls to suit every step of the customer journey. Rich multilocation SMS and MMS campaigns, autocampaigns, and templates can be shared across the franchise system. Built with deep franchise insight, Textellent integrates seamlessly with popular CRMs and franchise platforms to streamline operations and improve performance systemwide.

Why Communication Strategies Need a Rethink

The way franchise brands communicate with customers is under more pressure than ever. Traditional marketing, like email, phone calls, and direct mail, no longer guarantees engagement. Email open rates are dropping, phone calls go unanswered, and consumers increasingly ignore messages that aren't timely or personalized. Franchises face added complexity: multiple locations, varying marketing expertise among franchisees, and the need for consistent brand messaging. Even well-intentioned outreach can fall flat. Add shifting customer expectations—speed, convenience, and mobile-first experiences—and it's clear that yesterday's playbook isn't enough. To stay competitive, communication must be seen as a core part of the customer experience, not just a marketing tactic. That means re-evaluating the message and how, when, and where it's delivered.

Franchise Customer Journey: Key Communication Moments

Each interaction with a customer is an opportunity to build trust (or lose it). Communication is key from when a prospect discovers your brand to follow-ups after their purchase/service. Key stages include:

X Discovery & Consideration: Capturing attention with timely outreach.

X Scheduling & Conversion: Make it easy for prospects to take action by offering quick ways to book/commit without delays or back-and-forth.

X Service Experience: Keep customers informed with confirmations, reminders, and updates during their appointment or service time.

Communication Channels: What's Working, What's Not

There are many ways to reach out to customers, so choosing the right channel is about effectiveness rather than convenience. The chart (see page 29) outlines the strengths and drawbacks of standard communication methods.

Communication Challenges Unique to Franchising

Franchise brands face different communication challenges than single-location businesses. A consistent brand voice across multiple locations must be weighed with local personalization and responsiveness. Not all franchisees have the same tools, training, or marketing

expertise, leading to gaps in execution. Managing opt-ins, customer data, and compliance (like TCPA and CAN-SPAM regulations) becomes more complex across locations.

Emerging Best Practices for Franchise Organizations

Leading franchise organizations are evolving customer communications to balance consistency and local control. These best practices are helping brands improve engagement across the customer journey:

X Let customers choose their preferred channel during opt-in or onboarding—text, email, phone, or a mix.

X Automate routine messages like confirmations and reminders to save time while maintaining responsiveness.

X Empower franchisees with pre-approved templates and tools to ensure brand consistency and ease of implementation.

X Monitor channel performance and adjust based on open rates and response times.

X Stay compliant with clear opt-in language and unsubscribe options. These practices improve efficiency and strengthen customer relationships at every location.

Conclusion: A Smarter Path Forward

As customer expectations evolve, so must the way franchises communicate. Successful systems are moving beyond one-size-fits-all messaging to flexible, customer-centric strategies that align the right message with the right channel at the right time.

By rethinking communication as a key part of the customer experience, franchisors can boost engagement, loyalty, and empower franchisees to deliver consistently and efficiently.

Solutions like Textellent are designed specifically with franchise needs in mind, making it easier to manage text messaging at scale, automate touchpoints, and stay compliant while still delivering personal experiences. As brands look to modernize their communication stack, platforms built for franchising—and designed to integrate with key franchise systems and CRMs—can bridge the gap between corporate strategy and local execution while maximizing performance and visibility. n

he Franchise Business Network (FBN) was started in 1993 by Fred DeLuca, founder of Subway, and was formerly known as the 2nd Tuesday Program. Today, there are more than twenty seven local chapters throughout the US that meet on a regular basis. The purpose of the network is to create an educational program where franchisors, franchisees and suppliers can meet to discuss current affairs and to create a political grassroots network for key issues that affect the franchise industry and small businesses.

Get involved with your local chapter by attending quarterly meetings to learn and network with the franchise community in your area. You can also volunteer as a speaker, roundtable facilitator, sponsor or meeting host! Being a co-chair for the Ohio chapter has allowed me to meet really inspiring and experienced franchise executives who are passionate about the franchise community!
