Annex_Brands Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Under our continuing marketing program, we will conceive and create print and digital materials for periodic marketing/advertising and promotional programs. We will make those materials available to you, and we may require usage or specifications for usage. For example, we will sometimes provide you with advertisement proofs that you can take to a printer on our list of approved suppliers. Also, we may sometimes design, print and provide you with certain quantities of materials (such as posters or brochures), and you may be required to buy or have the option to buy additional quantities, if available.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, Annex Brands franchisees will have access to advertisement proofs for printing through the continuing marketing program. As part of this program, Annex Brands will create print and digital materials for periodic marketing, advertising, and promotional programs. These materials will be made available to franchisees, and Annex Brands may require specific usage guidelines.
Specifically, Annex Brands will sometimes provide franchisees with advertisement proofs that they can then take to a printer from a list of approved suppliers. In some instances, Annex Brands may also design, print, and provide franchisees with certain quantities of materials like posters or brochures. Franchisees may then have the option to purchase additional quantities of these materials, if available.
This system ensures that Annex Brands franchisees have access to marketing materials while maintaining brand consistency. By providing advertisement proofs and sometimes printed materials, Annex Brands supports franchisees in their marketing efforts. The use of approved suppliers for printing helps to control quality and maintain brand standards across all franchise locations.
