Franchise businesses, both local and global, are becoming very popular in India these days. So, the trend of business owners trying to expand their brand as a franchise is also increasing.
If you own a company or a franchise and are looking for franchisees, you should consider digital marketing. Digital marketing is the use of the internet to get more customers; and in this case, the use of the internet to make people aware of your business and how they can take part in it.
Here are some digital marketing tips for franchise business for sale India:
First, Establish Your Brand
A business can’t automatically become a franchise without becoming a well-known brand. After all, franchisees will only be interested in buying a brand name that can give them an already established customer base.
For building your brand, first your product should be good. After that, you need to create a good website, with consistent designs and messages and post regularly on Social Media. Conduct Search Engine Optimization to get more followers via Google search and you can also leverage email marketing to send your customers offers.
Remember that you can’t directly open a franchise business and start calling franchisees. The mindset should be first to market your product, become a popular brand, and then use digital marketing to find if some people are interested in buying your franchise name, rather than to convince people to buy your franchise.
Use Social Media
Social media is a great way to inform others that you are opening applications for your franchise. If done in the right way, it is basically all you will need to do. However, to impress potential franchisees, you need to have a solid Call to Action. Your social media post should first talk about the value they get- for example, some companies, in their franchise advertisement, directly say the range of profit that franchises in other locations make.
In your call for franchisees, also include what else they get from you- which can be interior designing, recipes/operational guides, training for employees, etc.
Business Buy Sell Platform
These days, India has various business for sales portals in which you can list your franchise for sale, and buyers can directly contact you. One popular site is Easy Buy Sell Business, where you can list your business for sale India.
A good aspect of websites like these is that they allow you to sell your business ‘without making unnecessary noises.’ Thus, only your potential buyer will know about the sale.
Use Local Online Media
If you already have a big name and are selling your business franchise in a specific locality, it won’t be a bad idea to advertise on an online media for a couple of days. After all, you will make a good noise, and people will start talking with themselves regarding the franchising opportunity.
Well, you don’t need to advertise until you get a franchisee. Run your ad until you have the budget but in your social media, don’t take out the post for the call for franchises. In other words, use the online media advertisement to make people notice the opportunity, and use social media to let them know that the opportunity still exists. This way, you can get franchisees without having to spend a lot of money.
