What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated cost for start-up marketing is $15,000. This expenditure is required before and during the initial three-month period after the Deer Solution Business opens. This start-up marketing expense is separate from, and does not count towards, the annual local marketing requirements for the franchise.
Notably, at least $10,000 of the $15,000 must be paid to R3volution Brands Inc., an affiliate of Deer Solution, for online marketing services conducted on behalf of the franchised business. This means that a significant portion of the start-up marketing budget is earmarked for a specific vendor chosen by the franchisor, which may limit the franchisee's flexibility in choosing marketing strategies.
This expense is paid as arranged and incurred to the franchisor, its affiliates, or approved suppliers. Prospective franchisees should factor this mandatory marketing spending into their initial investment calculations and understand the terms and conditions under which these marketing services will be provided by R3volution Brands Inc.
