What social media policy must a Bigfoot Forestry franchisee comply with?

According to the 2025 Bigfoot Forestry Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are permitted to promote their business through social media, but they must adhere to specific guidelines. These include using only social media platforms approved by Bigfoot Forestry, strictly complying with the company's social media policy, and obtaining prior approval for all social media posts.

Bigfoot Forestry also requires franchisees to contract with any social media company they designate, if requested. Furthermore, all social media accounts related to the franchisee's business are owned by Bigfoot Forestry, which retains full administrator rights. This level of control allows Bigfoot Forestry to maintain brand consistency and manage the online presence of its franchisees.

In addition to social media, Bigfoot Forestry requires prior approval for any website or digital presence that references their trademarks. Franchisees also need approval for any digital or online advertising, marketing, or e-commerce activities. Bigfoot Forestry controls all content on the franchisee's business webpage but will consider suggestions in good faith. The company also owns the franchisee's business webpage and domain name and may change or discontinue the website or webpage at any time. These stipulations ensure that Bigfoot Forestry maintains tight control over its brand image and online representation across all franchise locations.
