What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Publications' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees will pay a Technology and Training Fee for ongoing assistance with email deployments during their first year of operation.
Specifically, this fee covers assistance with email deployments for lead generation, lead building, and data mining. Franchisees are required to pay City Publications $500 each month during the first full year of operations for this service.
This fee is in addition to other fees such as the Franchise Fee, Royalty Fee, Advertising Fee, Mailing List Rental Fee, and Graphics Services Fee, which cover other aspects of the franchise operation. The Technology and Training Fee is specifically tied to the email deployment assistance provided during the initial year.
Prospective franchisees should consider this monthly $500 fee as part of their initial operating costs and factor it into their financial projections for the first year. Understanding the specific services covered by this fee is crucial for budgeting and assessing the value of the ongoing support provided by City Publications.
