1851

1. Frantastic: As 2018 comes to a close, brands and publications &mdash; including 1851 &mdash; are taking a look back at what worked and what didn&rsquo;t throughout the year. In a new feature that&rsquo;s live on our site now, we&rsquo;re reflecting on the marketing trends that were beneficial over the past year, including a combination of PR and digital marketing. On the other hand, strictly relying on traditional marketing techniques isn&rsquo;t cutting it anymore. <a href="https://1851franchise.com/reflecting-on-marketing-trends-in-2018-what-worked-and-what-needs-improvement--2708670" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Head to 1851 to learn more</a>. &nbsp;

2. Franlebrity: This week&rsquo;s Franlebrities are a little bit different &mdash; instead of highlighting someone in the franchising industry, No Limit Agency* CEO Nick Powills is giving the NLA and 1851 staff a shoutout. Check out this week&rsquo;s episode of The 8 to hear about some of the people on our team! 

3. Frash Money: Aspiring business owners who want to make money through franchising need to be prepared to navigate their way through brands&rsquo; FFDs, or Franchise Disclosure Documents. While these documents can be overwhelming, there are a ton of resources out there for franchisees that tell them what they need to know. <a href="https://1851franchise.com/the-411-on-fdds-what-potential-franchisees-need-to-know-about-franchise-disclosure-documents-2708651" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">We&rsquo;re highlighting one of those on 1851 this week that comes from Canadian Business Franchise</a>. This guide breaks down the three different types of franchise agreements and how they can function.

4. Frant of the Week: There&rsquo;s a saying that claims, &ldquo;subtraction is hard, addition is easier.&rdquo; In his latest column for 1851, Powills explains why this is something that should be followed in business. Of course, it&rsquo;s difficult to remove people from organizations because it leads to disruption. However, the art of subtraction is sometimes necessary. <a href="https://1851franchise.com/nick-powills-subtraction-is-hard-addition-is-easier-2708671" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Check out the column on 1851 to learn more</a>. 

5. Franch Forward: <a href="https://1851franchise.com/can-convenience-store-franchises-survive-in-2019--2708644" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Will convenience store franchises be Franching Forward in 2019</a>? That&rsquo;s a question we&rsquo;re taking a look at this week on 1851. With companies like Amazon taking over the marketplace, convenience stores are struggling to keep up &mdash; even with smaller buildouts. However, if convenience store chains start adapting things like delivery, there&rsquo;s a chance that they&rsquo;ll be able to remain competitive. &nbsp;

6. Fran Funny: Why did the Grinch go to the liquor store? He was looking for the holiday spirit. 

7. Franspiration: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s so important to plan extensively into the next year. Beyond that, you must execute against that plan very precisely.&rdquo; - <a href="https://1851franchise.com/a-franchisor-s-tips-to-end-the-year-strong-2708655" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Jackie Lobdell, Executive Director of Franchise Development at Slim Chickens, on how brands can prepare for the new year</a>. 

8. Franemies vs. Frands: Fast casual brands have a new Frand &mdash; third party delivery services. <a href="https://1851franchise.com/fast-casual-most-popular-online-ordering-option-grubhub-report-2708640" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">GrubHub recently released a report on food and online ordering trends in 2018</a>, and noted that 40 percent of customers ordered from fast casual restaurants. Quick service restaurants came in a close second with 32 percent of orders being made in that segment, followed by casual dining spots.
