What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumper Man's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bumper Man provides assistance with the initial marketing of your Bumper Business. This assistance includes planning and implementation of promotional campaigns, as well as review of all promotional materials and advertising.
In addition to the initial marketing assistance, Bumper Man also provides on-site assistance in marketing your Bumper Business to local automobile dealerships for at least three days. This hands-on support can be valuable in establishing relationships with key businesses in your designated area.
While Bumper Man offers initial marketing support, franchisees are encouraged to engage in local marketing efforts by making personal sales calls and establishing brand recognition in their designated areas. Bumper Man will provide promotional materials at the franchisee's cost and expense for these local marketing efforts. Franchisees can also create their own advertising materials, but these require prior written approval from Bumper Man.
