What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the annual local advertising requirement for a Spray Net franchise during its first year of operation is $40,000. This amount is a minimum that the franchisee must spend on local advertising for their franchised business.
Spray Net requires that 75% of this local advertising requirement be spent on digital marketing. This translates to $30,000 of the $40,000 being allocated to digital platforms. Spray Net is currently the only approved supplier for these digital marketing services, and they may either perform the services directly or contract with another supplier.
In addition to the local advertising requirement and the digital marketing spend, Spray Net franchisees must also pay a production fee and a brand fund contribution. For the first year of operation, the annual production fee cap is $8,400, $9,660, or $6,300 and the annual brand fund contribution is $10,500, $11,250, or $9,000, depending on the number of designated territories purchased. These fees are collected monthly.
