<div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">Starting a franchise is an exciting time for any brand. Before any franchisees sign on the dotted line, there is a lot that goes into making a franchise a success.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">Bill Paige, vice president of marketing for <a href="http://francorp.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=5-things-start-up-franchisors-should-do-to-win-2710" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Francorp</a>, shares a few things a start-up franchisor should do to launch a winning franchise concept.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style=""><strong>Put together a comprehensive program</strong></span></div><div><span style="">One of the most important things a franchisor can do is set up a comprehensive program. This provides the franchise brand the opportunity to get a complete and thorough message out to the consumers and potential franchisees.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">&#8220;If you're serious about becoming a franchisor, you want to put together a comprehensive program where that all aspects speak to each other,&#8221; said Paige.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">Paige suggests working with a single firm to create a franchise plan. If a franchisor chooses to outsource multiple steps to various people, the plan is at risk of feeling disjointed and not complete.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style=""><strong>Create a roadmap</strong></span></div><div><span style="">There are no shortcuts when it comes to setting up a successful franchise organization. That&#8217;s why start-up franchisors should create an action plan and stick to it.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">The plan should include things like creating a business plan, making sure everything goes through the right legal channels, putting an operations manual in place, and setting up a marketing strategy.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">Once there is a program laid out, Paige suggests making sure to do everything in order and check it off along the way. This ensures franchisors know what has been accomplished and what is coming up next in the process.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style=""><strong>Allocate enough time to the franchise</strong></span></div><div><span style="">Creating a successful franchise takes time, money and resources. If you don&#8217;t have all three there is a chance the business won&#8217;t succeed.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">&#8220;Many times they have the time and money to franchise, but a franchisor is trying to work in another business during the franchise process and they end up spreading themselves too thin,&#8221; said Paige.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">Before a franchisor takes on the responsibility of franchising it&#8217;s crucial they have the resources it takes to make it a success.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style=""><strong>Follow registration laws</strong></span></div><div><span style="">Before a franchise sets up shop, it&#8217;s important to be registered in the states the franchise conducts business. However, that doesn&#8217;t mean where it&#8217;s located.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">Franchises need to complete the federal registration process, and any additional state registration to cover every location the business is performing transactions.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style=""><strong>Set up a marketing strategy</strong></span></div><div><span style="">After putting all the time and effort into creating the franchise concept, the franchisor should create a marketing strategy to get the word out about the brand.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">&#8220;Marketing is often the first thing you need to get your business going,&#8221; said Paige.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">Although marketing is not always an instant return on investment, a sound marketing strategy provides franchisors with a way to keep communication about the brand going even in down times.</span></div>
