What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Body Brain Center FDD does not explicitly state whether franchisees are permitted to advertise through approved social media accounts. However, it does mention marketing assistance and activities.
The FDD states that Body Brain Center will provide franchisees with a standardized marketing plan included in the Manual. They may also create and make available advertising and other marketing materials, potentially over the Internet. Franchisees may need to arrange for printing these materials and paying the associated costs, or Body Brain Center may connect franchisees with third-party suppliers for marketing materials. Body Brain Center also offers marketing consulting, guidance, and support.
While the FDD outlines marketing assistance and the potential for franchisees to engage in marketing activities, it does not specifically address social media advertising. A prospective franchisee should inquire with Body Brain Center about the specifics of social media advertising, including whether it is permitted, what guidelines or restrictions apply, and if there are any approved platforms or content requirements.
