What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cr3 American Exteriors' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are generally required to use the franchisor's advertising templates. However, a franchisee may use their own advertising materials under specific conditions.
Specifically, the franchisee must first submit their advertising materials to Cr3 American Exteriors. These materials must conform to the standards outlined in the franchise's manuals and adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local laws.
Finally, Cr3 American Exteriors must provide written approval of the advertising materials. If the franchisee does not receive written approval within fourteen (14) days of the franchisor receiving the request, the materials are considered disapproved. This process ensures that all advertising aligns with the brand's standards and legal requirements, while also providing a defined timeframe for approval.
