What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Card My Yard's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, all advertising and promotions must be conducted professionally, adhere to Card My Yard's standards and requirements, and receive approval before use. Franchisees are prohibited from engaging in misleading advertising or promotions, or from posting information that reflects negatively on the Card My Yard brand.
Card My Yard permits franchisees to advertise and promote their business on the internet through social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest, provided the content is approved. However, Card My Yard retains the right to demand the immediate removal of any posts or materials deemed misleading or detrimental to the brand. The franchisor also has the discretion to include information about a franchisee's Card My Yard business on their website.
These stipulations ensure brand consistency and protect Card My Yard's reputation.

This level of oversight is common in franchising to maintain uniform brand messaging and customer experience.
