The Role of Franchisee Associations in Franchise Success

Franchisee associations play a critical role in advocating for franchisee needs and priorities and aligning them with the strategic goals of the franchisor.  As the voice of your members, you’re responsible for representing the best interests of ALL the franchisees in the system, not just the “loudest”. The most effective way to do that is to gather meaningful, objective data that you can share to build trust and transparency, and foster collaboration between the franchisor and franchisees.

How Franchise Business Review Supports Franchisee Associations

Franchise Business Review works with franchisee associations to measure franchisee satisfaction and engagement across the entire franchisee community, and provide you with detailed insights that reflect the needs and concerns of your members.

Gather Objective Feedback from Franchisees

Our franchisee satisfaction surveys measure franchisee perceptions of system strengths and weaknesses. By collecting quantitative and qualitative data, franchisee associations can identify areas where support, communication, and leadership can be improved, and share objective insights with the franchisor to guide discussions.

Align Goals and Expectations

With our proprietary online reporting platform, you’ll have access to data that can help you identify what’s important to franchisees within different demographics and regions, empowering you to pinpoint shared priorities between franchisor and franchisees and advocate for initiatives that reflect the network’s needs so the franchisor can ensure resources are focused on high-impact areas.

Foster Stronger Franchisor-Franchisee Relationships

With actionable insights, the franchisee association can create a more unified, successful franchise system. The most successful franchise systems are built on trust, and by creating a continuous feedback loop between franchisor and franchisees, you’re facilitating a culture of collaboration that drives growth, profitability, and performance that benefits all stakeholders.
