Guerrilla Marketing for the Franchisee
Guerrilla Marketing for the Franchisee met with Franchise Interviews on February 11, 2010 on BlogTalkRadio.com.
The Book: Guerrilla Marketing for the Franchisee. Many franchisees enter into a franchise business and think owning their own business will be much easier than it really is. Consequently, they often become discouraged from not experiencing the success they thought they signed up for. Other franchisees don't understand marketing and what it actually takes to grow their business. There is a false sense of security thinking that the sales will automatically come because they signed up for a "turn key" system. At the end of the day the success of each franchise business comes down to the operating franchisee.
This book teaches business owners how to own their own success and failures, what marketing is and what it takes to compete in today's tough business environment. Guerrilla Marketing defines marketing as "every bit of contact you or anyone in your company has with any part of the public." With over 14 million books sold worldwide, Guerrilla Marketing is one of the best known marketing brands in history - because it works. We had the pleasure of meeting with Todd Woods, CEO of Guerrilla Marketing Strategies, Inc., and Eddie Leonard, Chief Operating Guerrilla.

Kiplinger Article on Franchises
Franchises Getting Upper Hand Over Independents
Kiplinger, Jan. 2010 by Jonathan N. Crawford
Franchises are making gain on independents, especially restaurants. By 2012, franchise eateries including fast foods, family sit-down places will outnumber all others. From 2000 to 2008, the number of franchise restaurants grew by 20%, while non-franchises fell by 4% (according to NPD Group marketing research company). Deflated customer spending and crimped credit cards could even accelerate this trend.
“Franchises have been far from insulated from the recession, but overall they have performed better,” says Jonathan Maze, editor at Franchise Times trade magazine.
On the whole, franchises will outgrow their non-franchise rivals this year. They are typically better positioned than a mom and pop shop and they benefit from brand presence, corporate marketing an advice from the franchisor.
Moreover, lenders may be less tightfisted with franchise owners than non-franchise owners, according to Darrell Johnson, president and CEO of FRANdata, and independent research firm. In fact 60 new franchise brands were added last quarter 2009.
The overall economic output for franchises is expected to rise 2.8% this year. The biggest gains will be in personal services, quick service restaurants and business services, according to Pricewaterhouse Coopers.
