What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to submit their advertising materials for approval. Specifically, if a franchisee chooses to use their own advertising materials, they must submit them to Zoomin Groomin for written approval. If approval is not received within 14 days from the date Zoomin Groomin receives the materials, the advertising is considered disapproved.
This requirement ensures that all advertising aligns with the brand's standards and complies with legal regulations. It also gives Zoomin Groomin control over how its brand is represented in the market.
In addition to this requirement, Zoomin Groomin also controls all aspects of digital marketing related to the franchised business. This includes websites, social media accounts, digital advertising, and other means of digital marketing. Zoomin Groomin will also develop and maintain a website that contains the franchisee's location contact information.
Prospective franchisees should be aware of these advertising requirements and factor them into their business planning. While franchisees have some flexibility in creating their own advertising, they must adhere to the approval process and brand guidelines set by Zoomin Groomin.
