What was the advertising and promotional expense for Body Brain Center in 2022?

According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, management service expenses, which include advertising, totaled $22,000 in 2022. These management services are provided by Body & Brain Yoga and Health Centers, Inc., the sole member of the company.

This means that Body Brain Center allocated $22,000 to cover advertising, supplies, management oversight, secretarial services, accounting support, training, website development, and referral fees. It is important to note that this $22,000 covers a range of services beyond just advertising.

Prospective franchisees should be aware that the advertising expenditure is bundled within a broader management services agreement. This may limit the franchisee's direct control over specific advertising initiatives and budget allocation. It is important to understand how these funds are specifically used for advertising and what input franchisees have in the advertising strategies.

It's also worth noting that Body & Brain Yoga and Health Centers, Inc. also orally agrees to pay Body Brain Center an advertising fee of 0.5% of program sales. For the year ending December 31, 2023, this fee amounted to $57,105. While this doesn't directly answer the question about 2022 advertising expenses, it does provide additional context about advertising-related financial arrangements between Body Brain Center and its sole member.
