(Ambrosio’s note:  Welcome to Franchise Chatter’s newest bonus series for Platinum subscribers, Why Invest. Inspired by our very popular Fro-Yo Files, this new series will go beyond frozen yogurt to provide exclusive coverage of the larger franchise universe — including everything from pizza chains to massage concepts — and impart useful information and advice straight from franchise insiders.

Today’s post is the third of three parts. To read Part 2, please click here.)

Marketing is Key to Building Brand Awareness

Clarino attributes his success to his personal marketing efforts before, during, and after the opening of his new restaurant. Teriyaki Madness requires 1 percent of gross revenues to be paid to the franchisor for corporate marketing campaigns, primarily to build the brand. It also recommends an outlay of $5,000 to promote the grand opening of a new location.

Learn Which Franchises Can Make You Rich
Clarino has gone beyond those requirements in promoting his newest location, employing methods that simultaneously help his first store and the franchisor by building brand awareness. He wrapped his Toyota Scion to become a mobile billboard with the company’s logo, photos of the food, an image of an Asian Elvis impersonator (which the company uses to reinforce what it calls the company’s “Vegas vibe”), and the unofficial company tagline: “Warning: Food Highly Addictive.”

Three months before opening the store, he also began placing signs in highly visible locations for maximum exposure. But above all, he said, the key to attracting customers is forging one-on-one personal relationships within the community.

“I think anybody who buys into a franchise wants to be accepted in their neighborhood,” he said. “If you open a Subway, you’re just a number. Teriyaki Madness has more of a mama-papa feel.”

Clarino said potential franchisees looking at Teriyaki Madness as a possible investment could learn from some of the things he has done to foster goodwill for his business, attract new customers, and retain the loyalty of those already won over by the brand and his stores.

Sharing His Successful Practices

Every morning, Clarino puts 10 VIP coupons in his wallet. As he encounters people during the day, he hands the cards out like gifts one at a time, treating people to a free entree. With a retail value of about $7.50, and only about 30 percent of that debited to the business, it’s a great way to get new people in the door, he said.

“They never come by themselves,” he said of those who redeem his VIP cards, so one person might bring his or her whole family, creating a total bill that could be more than five times higher than the value of the coupon.

“They’re guaranteed to use it within seven days, and 99.9 percent of the time they’re back again. I believe if you have face-to-face contact, you’ll have a higher rate of return than mailing something to someone’s mailbox.”

🤷‍♀️Why Work with a Franchise Broker?

A good franchise broker can help you to find the right franchise. They provide:

✅ Recommendations based on their assessment of historical financial performance (Item 19, FDD) instead of just franchise marketing materials.

✅ Franchise matches based on your goals, strengths, and passions.

✅ Demographic analysis to find franchises that could work in your area.

✅ A portfolio of franchises to meet almost any budget, interest, or goals.

✅ Referrals to other specialists, like franchise lawyers.

✅ Information on financing sources.

✅ Coaching in the due diligence process, based on experience with dozens of candidates.

✅ Help presenting yourself in the best light, to increase your chances of success.

✅ No fees for their services: franchisors pay them a success fee if an agreement is signed.

To get started, fill out this form, and a specialist from the Franchise Brokers Association will reach out to you.
