The largest segment of turn-key businesses consists of franchises. There is a franchise for every industry in the world, and they are relatively easy to acquire, often accompanied by pre-packaged, easy-to-assemble systems. McDonald’s serves as a prime example, with a staggering 12-figure total of 38,000 franchises.
The business format franchise evolved from an earlier model called the ‘trade name’ franchise. The major change was in the rights granted to franchise owners. In the ‘trade name’ days, franchise owners only held marketing rights. Nowadays, franchise owners have ownership rights to the entire business, including its systems. This shift in ownership has enabled a change in focus, moving from the quality and name recognition of the products that constitute the business to the sales techniques that drive the business.
It was indeed the franchise prototypes that enabled the changes leading to today’s franchises truly shining with techniques developed by the owners, rather than relying solely on the corporation. This can significantly impact the success of the franchise, as owners can custom tailor their marketing and promotions to meet the specific needs of their local target customers.
Now, with that being said, it’s unreasonable for anyone to purchase a franchise if the parent company doesn’t have a solid plan of action in place to ensure the prospective success of the business. Therefore, certain standards are put into place to help kickstart the process of opening a successful franchise.
These are all methods by which the parent corporation ensures that their brand remains consistent and at the forefront of customers’ minds. When you purchase a widely-known brand, you will naturally attract customers simply by being associated with it.
