When is the Fly To Fit local marketing/required spending fee due?

According to Fly To Fit's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the local marketing/required spending fee, which is 5% of your gross sales, is due monthly. Fly To Fit franchisees are required to use promotional materials purchased from Fly To Fit or provided by them. This fee is separate from the marketing fund contribution, which is 1% of gross sales and due monthly by the 1st Tuesday of the following month.

It is important to note that Fly To Fit also has the right to establish local or regional advertising cooperatives, which could require additional contributions from franchisees. The maximum contribution for a co-op is 5% of gross sales, but if any location owned by Fly To Fit or its affiliates has a majority vote, the maximum fees imposed will not exceed 3% of gross sales.

Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these marketing expenses and ensure they understand the requirements for promotional materials. They should also inquire about the likelihood of local or regional advertising cooperatives being established and how those costs would be determined.
