Before moving on to the stages of packaging a store franchise, we will determine the main distinctive features of a product franchise that a franchisee expects to receive in order to gain an advantage over competitors in the market.
Unique product
Naturally, the basis of a store franchise is some unique original product. Typically, this is a product with a registered name, produced under a unique brand. A franchise gives a unique right to distribute this product.
Point-of-sale (POS) design
The product must have its own sales system: whether the product is sold from the counter or through fitting or through consultation with a specialist. Any brand finds a set of selling tools for itself.
Accounting system
If you have a store and goods constantly arrive and are sold through it, you simply need an accounting system. Analysis of the assortment and work with balances is possible only through such a system. In addition, the franchise founder needs constant control over demand at all points; for this, a centralized system will be needed.
Product assortment matrix
As a rule, the franchisor has information about which items of its product range are in greatest demand in a particular region. Based on this data, he can recommend to the franchisee which items should be included in the assortment and in what quantities to keep the balance. For a franchise buyer, this is of significant value, because any experiments in this direction are fraught with “stuck” positions and large balances.
Demand stimulation tools
The franchise founder knows his consumers and knows how to sell his product. He is ready to share his promotion templates, content of advertising campaigns and promotions with franchisees. Everything that will help the franchisee sell goods through a partner outlet.
