Marketing franchises span a wide range of sales-orientated and product development niches, from market research, customer profiling, and competitive analysis to creative product development and campaign management.

Marketing franchises
The UK is the fourth largest advertising market across the entire planet; and the largest market in Europe.
Advertising expenditure exceeded £21.8 billion in 2019 across the UK, with a continued shift in advertising spend from TV to internet channels.
Digital advertising is driving success for many marketing franchises, with over 60% of total spend finding its way online.
However, there’s more to marketing than digital, and many franchises focus on print for local and national businesses.
Video content is the most significant growth sector in digital marketing, using social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to get the marketing message across.
Companies who specialise in Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) offer copywriting and marketing support to Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs). SEO has become a particularly valuable area of marketing in recent years, helping clients reach the top of the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs).
Franchising Vs Independent
Banks favour franchises over independent companies because franchises are more likely to be built upon firm foundations with a proven record of growth, profit, and success.
Independent companies tend to find the first couple of years of operation the most vulnerable as they try to establish themselves in saturated marketplaces. Building a reputation is a real challenge for new companies, and many fall by the wayside before they've had an opportunity to prove their worth.
Almost 50% of independent companies fall into insolvency in those treacherous first two years while they struggle to find a foothold in the market.
However, franchising puts a new company at a distinct advantage over independent companies, which is why lenders are more likely to supply start-up funds for franchisees. The franchise model offers stability for new ventures - the parent company supports new business operations through training, compliance, and advice to help their franchisees weather the first two years and beyond.
