What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for local advertising placement. However, Bumble Roofing does not provide placement of local advertising on behalf of its franchisees.
While franchisees are responsible for placement, Bumble Roofing maintains control over the advertising content. Franchisees must use marketing materials provided by Bumble Roofing in camera-ready form. If a franchisee wants to develop their own advertising materials, Bumble Roofing must approve them in writing before use. Franchisees cannot use any advertising or marketing materials, including press releases, unless Bumble Roofing has approved them in advance.
Bumble Roofing will respond to advertising approval requests within 14 business days. If Bumble Roofing does not respond within that time, the materials are considered disapproved. This approval process ensures that all local advertising aligns with the brand's standards and specifications, even though the franchisee handles the placement.
