What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to contribute to the Marketing Fund. The amount a franchisee must pay varies depending on how long they have been in operation. For months 37 and onward, Dryject franchisees must pay $500 per month to the Marketing Fund, or 2% of monthly Gross Revenues generated by the Franchise Owner in the Franchised Business, whichever is greater.
This Marketing Fund payment is due in advance on the 15th day of each month, using the same payment method as the Royalty Service Fee. These funds are used by Dryject for advertising, promoting, and marketing the goods and services offered by the Dryject system. However, the FDD specifies that franchise owners who are not yet contributing to the Marketing Fund may be excluded from receiving benefits from the activities of the Marketing Fund.
Dryject manages the Marketing Fund and may choose to establish it as a not-for-profit corporation in the future. While the fund is intended to remain in existence, Dryject retains the right to terminate it after all monies have been spent on advertising and promotion. Franchisees can request annual unaudited income and expense statements, as well as an accounting of advertising expenditures, in writing. Any unspent funds at the end of a fiscal year will be carried over to the next year.
It is important to note that Dryject's expenditures from the Marketing Fund may not be equivalent or proportionate to a franchisee's contribution in their specific Designated Territory. Dryject may also choose to place additional regional or national advertising at its own expense, but is not obligated to do so. Franchisees should factor this ongoing marketing expense into their financial projections and understand how the fund is managed and utilized to support the Dryject brand.
