Taking up a franchisee is a profitable way of venturing into the business arena. A franchisee besides getting the freedom to own and run his store also gets to avail the support system rendered by the franchisor.
Very often, the debutant franchisees depend only on the marketing strategy employed by the franchisor at his level. This marketing policy carried out by the franchisor is done for the whole company and not for any particular outlet. Thus, marketing the outlet at a local level is often ignored by the franchisee and thus it should be considered one..
In this fierce competition, where unique franchise concepts are available a franchisee merely standing behind the counter and serving the customers is not going to fetch handsome returns. Irrespective of the marketing assistance provided by the franchisor, franchisee must start promoting his outlet at the local level also. Like visiting other successful businesses, participating in an event, or organising a promotional affair in order to gain a competitive edge. Even big and popular companies can benefit from marketing at a local level.
