Does Dermani Medspa retain the right to create advertising and promotional materials related to the franchised businesses, even if those materials are received by prospective customers within a franchisee's territory?

According to Dermani Medspa's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Dermani Medspa retains the right to create, place, and distribute advertising and promotional materials related to the Dermani Medspa system, marks, franchised businesses, and the services and products offered. This includes the right to authorize others to do so. These materials may appear in any media, including the Internet or similar electronic media, and may be received by prospective customers located anywhere, even within a franchisee's territory.

This means that as a Dermani Medspa franchisee, you may find that Dermani Medspa's advertising efforts target customers within your designated territory. Dermani Medspa retains full control over advertising and promotional materials, allowing them to reach potential customers regardless of their location. This could lead to competition within your own territory from advertising initiatives driven by Dermani Medspa itself.

This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, where the franchisor typically manages brand-wide advertising to maintain consistency and brand recognition. However, it's important for a prospective Dermani Medspa franchisee to understand that they will not have exclusive control over advertising within their territory and should be prepared to compete with the franchisor's marketing efforts. Franchisees should inquire about Dermani Medspa's advertising strategies and how they can best complement the franchisor's efforts with their own local marketing initiatives.
