Item 7 of the FDD discusses the estimated initial investment, which includes $5,000 to $15,000 for "Marketing Expenses & Grand Opening." This suggests that Bevaris Alliance provides some guidance and support for initial marketing efforts. Additionally, franchisees pay a 2% system marketing fund fee on gross sales receipts, which the company uses to fund advertising and marketing programs. The balance in the system marketing reserve fund was $174,327 as of December 31, 2023, and $72,220 as of December 31, 2022.
While the FDD mentions marketing to students and the existence of marketing programs, it does not provide specific details on the content, strategies, or channels used in these marketing efforts. A prospective franchisee should inquire with Bevaris Alliance about the specific marketing strategies and materials available to target students and faculty, as well as the criteria for using the marketing fund.
