What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the information about the total amount of money that Big Air Trampoline Park distributed to its members during 2023 is not included. The document does discuss the National Marketing and Promotions Fund, as well as Local Advertising Cooperatives, and how franchisees contribute to these. However, it does not specify the total amount of distributions made to members or franchisees in any given year.
While the FDD outlines the structure and guidelines for marketing and advertising funds, it does not provide specific financial distribution figures. The document details how franchisees contribute to these funds and how the funds are managed, including the franchisor's control over Cooperative Funds and expenditures. It also mentions that the franchisor can review and disapprove contribution rates for Local Advertising Cooperatives if they fall outside the range of 1% to 2% of Gross Revenues.
A prospective franchisee should directly ask the franchisor for detailed financial information regarding the distribution of funds from the National Marketing and Promotions Fund and any Local Advertising Cooperatives. This information would be crucial in understanding the potential return on investment from these marketing efforts and the overall financial transparency of the Big Air Trampoline Park franchise system.
