Franchise Purchasing

Learn about franchise marketing before you purchase a business. Once you've purchased a franchise, you may believe the hard work is done. However, your job has only begun, as you'll need to get the business up, running and turning a profit. Having a successful marketing campaign is key.

Depending on the franchise you choose, your current contacts may come in handy when it comes to marketing. If you have an existing customer base, it should become a priority for marketing your new business venture. Business associates, family members and friends are all fair game. It's a good idea to make a database of contact information to make marketing and selling to these people easier.

Also key is finding ways to communicate with and learn from your customers. If you purchase a restaurant franchise, for example, you might use quality surveys to find out what your customers think of your service. You might also give out VIP cards to your restaurant customers, encouraging them to come back by offering percentage-off discounts.
