We also encourage you to make the Research Highlight Report available (as an immediate download) on your website (HTML format; this format is easily available by search engines). Include a ‘link’ or attach a pdf in your e-mail correspondence to prospects that allows them to obtain a copy of your one-page highlights.

The special promotion code is set up for your use and the use of your sales staff, consultants/brokers, etc. When a prospect enters your promotion code into the "Obtain Franchise Survey Report" page of FranSurvey.com and hits 'apply promo code' then the credit card information is removed from the page and the prospect obtains the report for free. Often times you have done some prescreening of a prospect and would like to give them a survey report, for FREE. However, you would like them to follow a few directions to obtain the report (a bit of a test); once they have entered their contact information you will receive an instant e-mail as confirmation.

Each client is given a “client page specific” URL on FranSurvey.com that they can print on their marketing materials. Prospects can then place the URL in the browser and will be sent directly to the client’s webpage on FranSurvey.com. This URL is "dead-linked" to your page on FranSurvey.com; in other words your prospect can not search other franchise opportunities on FranSurvey.com! Include your client specific URL in emails to prospects as hotlinks & add to your marketing materials. This page contains information only about Your Company, Your Franchise Opportunity, and The Requirements for candidates which you will provide to us. This page also contains quotes from your franchisees on what they like most about your franchise opportunity taken directly from the current survey, a link to your current survey highlights (which can be downloaded immediately), an area where they can request more information from you, and a page to obtain your current 13-page Marketing Report. It also includes your CEO Video Clip if you chose to include one. For a small investment you have the opportunity to speak directly to a prospect about your company's commitment to the success of your franchisees. Further, you have the opportunity to offer the results of confidential independent research results as an indication of how your existing franchisees have rated your franchise opportunity. This is a knock-out opportunity. Examples of client specific pages: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
We offer co-op advertising opportunities for our clients by grouping the "best of the best" franchise opportunities together and sharing the costs for more effective marketing. We allow each client to enter their own web address, phone number, and maximum 50-word description. Co-op opportunities vary from time to time so please ask Jessica [1.800.410.5205 ext. 343 or (jessica@FranSurvey.com)] for current co-op opportunities.
Examples of past marketing: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
Hot linking the World-Class Franchise® Certification SEAL from your company's website to your page on FranSurvey.com should be the first thing you do once you are apart of our program. You should also include a link to your Research Highlights page on your website (HTML format is picked up by the search engines). Your direct link is also "dead-linked" to your page; in other words your prospect can not search other franchises on FranSurvey.com! *You can find your company specific hotlink instructions in the email attachments.
As described above this is a short, 1-2 minute video clip on your FranSurvey.com page. It's been an added benefit to our clients to have an opportunity to put someone from their company, not necessarily the CEO, anyone from the company with stage presence in front of a camera for a prospect to put a face with a name. We pay for all embedding costs; you invest $100-$300, an hour of your time and get the video-clip done locally. Anyone can create a testimonial, but this is different. This gives you (personally) a chance to tell a prospect "This survey gives us an opportunity to hear from our franchisees confidentially; the success of our franchisees is very important to us!" "We've used an independent third party research company. See for yourself what our current franchisees think of our franchise program." Examples of current video clips: 1, 2, 3.
