What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Kidokinetics's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee desires to use their own advertising materials, including their own website, they must obtain prior written approval from Kidokinetics. Kidokinetics will review the franchisee's request and respond in writing within 30 days from the date they receive all requested information.
It is important to note that if Kidokinetics fails to notify the franchisee within the specified 30-day timeframe, the request will be deemed disapproved. This means that if a franchisee doesn't receive a response within 30 days, they cannot use their advertising materials.
This policy ensures that all marketing and advertising efforts align with the Kidokinetics brand standards and protect the brand's image. Franchisees should factor this review period into their marketing plans to avoid delays or potential disapproval.
