Specifically, Item 22, section 12.1 of the franchise agreement states that franchisees must follow the guidelines in the Teacher's Manual and Policy Statements regarding marketing, advertising, and promotion. Franchisees are also required to provide evidence of their local marketing, advertising, and promotion expenditures upon request. These guidelines may include offering free promotional classes, the cost of which is borne by the franchisee. Additionally, franchisees must pay Gokhale Method for any advertising materials created at their request, including the costs of creation and reproduction.
Exhibit B to the Franchise Agreement details approved formats for teaching the Gokhale System, emphasizing that more details and updates are available in the Teacher's Manual. The Free Workshop is highlighted as an important promotional tool to introduce prospective students to the Gokhale Method.
