A potential franchisee should inquire about the types of advertising and promotional activities conducted by Fly Fitness, the allocation of the advertising budget, and the expected impact on franchisee sales and brand awareness. It would also be prudent to understand if franchisees are required to contribute to advertising and if so, what the amounts and requirements are.
