Award-winning franchises

Marketing is more important than ever in a recession. So when looking for a franchise, it may be wise to consider the winners of this year’s Franchise Marketing Awards.

 

In today’s economy, good marketing is vital to make a business stand out against its competitors. As a prospective franchisee, you should be considering franchises that excel when it comes to marketing so you’ll be in a stronger position to weather the current economic storm.
To help you make that decision, consider the winners of this year’s Franchise Marketing Awards 2009, which were revealed before a large audience of industry leaders in London in March, presented by well-known stand up comedian and TV performer Ed Byrne.

The awards recognise a number of companies whose investment in marketing and creativity have contributed significantly to the continuing growth and development of the highly successful £12 billion franchise industry.

David Tuck, franchise sales manager at Venture Marketing Group, commented: “The awards are important and unique in that they draw attention to the creativity of companies that capture the interest of the world through their innovative and wide ranging marketing initiatives in this competitive industry.”
