What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to make Marketing Fund payments. During months 4-12 of operation, a Dryject franchisee must pay $100 per month to the Marketing Fund, or 2% of monthly Gross Revenues, whichever is greater. These payments are due in advance on the 15th day of each month, using the same payment method as the Royalty Service Fee.
This means that a new Dryject franchisee needs to budget for this ongoing marketing expense starting in their fourth month. The payment structure is designed to scale with the franchisee's revenue, ensuring that the contribution remains manageable during the initial growth phase. The franchisee will pay either a flat $100 or 2% of gross revenues, depending on which amount is higher.
It's important to note that Dryject retains control over the Marketing Fund and how the money is spent. While the FDD states that the funds will be used for advertising, promoting, and marketing the goods and services offered by the Dryject system, there is no guarantee that the expenditures in a franchisee's specific territory will be equivalent to their contribution. Franchisees should be aware that Dryject has the right to change its business operations and that franchisees must adopt all required modifications at their sole expense.
