To be a successful marketer in the digital world, you must be consistently evolving, pivoting, and understanding the ever-changing landscape.

With these changes and evolutions, franchise marketing agencies must maintain brand consistency. The audience a franchise marketing agency has generated can quickly dissolve if the once-relatable brand identity is no longer there.

Social Media is populated by more than 5 billion mobile device users, with 69% of them on Facebook alone. Users of these websites are inundated with brands creating unique ways to drive awareness, generate leads, and develop relationships. The rising popularity of social media has shown that if your brand isn’t there, then they are missing out on the biggest revenue market today.

This is where outsourcing can become crucial because limited resources are used efficiently and effectively, all while knowing the professional agency will deliver expert advice and professional work. Professional marketing agencies, such as SocialMadeSimple, are an excellent solution for any franchise marketing agency that wants to ensure client satisfaction.

SocialMadeSimple has a long track record of success in converting franchises from their 90-day pilot program into becoming the preferred social media vendor for an array of franchises. This includes Floor Coverings International, MaiPro, Weed Man, and many more.

1. The Experience of A Professional Agency

When franchises are looking to outsource to a professional agency, there are many benefits to consider.

Franchise marketing agencies have a deep understanding of the franchise industry and the specific needs of franchise businesses. They can help you develop and execute marketing strategies that are tailored to your specific goals and target audience.

When evaluating which agency to work with, ask questions, speak to previous partners, and evaluate case studies (if they don’t have any, that’s likely a red flag). 

2. Long-Term, Measurable Success

One of the first and perhaps most important benefit for franchise brands to consider is the expertise and skills that professional marketing agencies bring to the table.

SocialMadeSimple has dedicated teams in each area of social media marketing, from client success to paid advertising and content curation and development.

SocialMadeSimple is thrilled to showcase success in these areas, such as the achievements made while working with MaidPro. MaidPro is the largest and fastest-growing cleaning franchise in North America, and they came to SocialMadeSimple for a comprehensive social media marketing program.

This case study showcases how MaidPro used social media for recruitment and generated 50+ qualified job candidates! Our agency created localized strategy-driven ad campaigns on Facebook & Instagram while publishing on-brand content posts across MaidPro’s social networks.

With 24/7 access to SocialModo, the social marketing platform created by SocialMadeSimple, MaidPro franchisees had the ability to view and manage their content calendar, campaign stats, and aggregated messages across Facebook and Instagram in real-time. 

3. Proper Resource Management 

The day-to-day business of running a franchise can consume every resource at your disposal.

This can create an obstacle when other projects and events need to take priority. When outsourcing to SocialMadeSimple, these franchises are given back valuable time to spend elsewhere.

SocialMadeSimple is powered by SocialModo, the platform that allows the agency to do everything from content management to messaging and reporting. This allows for the most efficient way to maximize resources. Each account also has a dedicated Account Manager, who becomes your brand’s best friend while assisting you at every stage.

4. Finding The Perfect Culture Match

Finding a professional marketing agency to outsource work to is easy, but finding one that aligns with your brand’s identity, your team’s culture, and how you want to operate can offer many obstacles.

SocialMadeSimple is an agency that prides itself on understanding our customers’ goals and desires. This allows us to have more efficient marketing relationships!

When evaluating a culture fit, ask youself:

1. Does this professional agency align with my brand’s identity?
2. How does this professional agency mesh with my franchise professionally?
3. What values does this professional agency have, and do we share the same?

5. A Plan and Strategy Built Just-For-You 

Franchise brands should also seek a franchise marketing agency that can remain flexible without losing customization or personalization. SocialMadeSimple tailors its marketing campaigns and tactics to each business’s unique needs.

Better yet, these services are also scalable; as mentioned, the digital world is constantly changing, and so will the needs of the franchise marketing agency. SocialMadeSimple has also measured success in this area, specifically its relationship with franchise partner, Men In Kilts.

Each ad and custom content campaign is tailored to the franchisee’s needs and is continually optimized for the best results in the form of engagement, while lead generation ad campaigns on Facebook and Instagram are designed to generate both sales leads & recruitment leads.
