What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must submit advertising and promotional plans and materials for approval if they have not been prepared or previously approved within the preceding six months. This applies to any print, broadcast, cable, electronic, computer, or other media, including the Internet. The franchisee cannot use these plans or materials until they have been approved in writing by Beggars Pizza.
Beggars Pizza will review the submitted materials and provide written notice of approval or disapproval. If the franchisee does not receive written notice of approval within 15 days of Beggars Pizza's receipt of the materials, the plans are deemed disapproved. This requirement ensures that all advertising and promotional efforts align with Beggars Pizza's brand standards and marketing strategies.
This process allows Beggars Pizza to maintain control over its brand image and ensure consistency in advertising across all franchise locations. It also provides franchisees with the opportunity to receive feedback and guidance on their marketing efforts, potentially improving the effectiveness of their campaigns. Franchisees should factor in this approval timeline when planning their advertising and promotional activities to avoid delays.
