How can I provide support for my franchisee's marketing plan?

Mentor The Marketing Plan

Your new franchisee will probably need your assistance in drafting their initial marketing plan. It is a critical internal document that provides direction for the company. It is also a crucial part of the business plan. If the franchisee is going to request financing, lenders will want to see a comprehensive marketing plan. You are going to have to approve the plan before the franchisee can proceed, so it makes sense to help develop the plan. You can either provide a format for the plan or a checklist of items to be covered.

Common elements of a marketing plan are:

  • The position of the product or service in the marketplace
  • A pricing strategy based on the customer and the market
  • A complete selling plan
  • Defined distribution channels
  • A complete budget for advertising and promotion
