What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dermani Medspa's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Online Management Fee is collected either by Dermani Medspa or paid directly to their designated vendors. Dermani Medspa has the option to collect this fee themselves. If Dermani Medspa chooses to collect the Online Management Fee, they may do so using the same method and frequency as they collect Royalty Fees. Alternatively, they can specify a different method in the Dermani Medspa manual or through written communication.
The Online Management Fee is associated with the Online Management Services that Dermani Medspa provides, either directly or through a designated vendor. These services may include setting up a website subpage, establishing social media accounts, assisting with reputation management, managing ad campaigns, conducting search engine optimization (SEO), and establishing a CRM system. The services included in Online Management Services are subject to change at any time.
The Online Management Fee is separate from other fees such as the Grand Opening Marketing Program, System Marketing Fee, and local advertising expenditures. The potential maximum amount for the Online Management Fee is currently $1,200 per month, but Dermani Medspa may increase this amount by up to 10% each year. This means that franchisees should anticipate potential increases in this fee over time, which could impact their overall operating costs.
