Business Case Study; Franchise Outlet Disclosures
There has always been a big issue in the world of franchising regarding how to count the number of franchised outlets that exist. Many web sites of Franchisor's show more outlets than their uniform franchise offering circular. The Uniform Franchise Offering Circular is the official Franchisor disclosure document, which would be given to each franchise buyer 10 days before purchase as mandatory by law. The number of franchised outlets must be disclosed in that document. When customers go to a web site of the franchising company they may notice that the outlets are numbere

The world is full of scanners. Most people simply scan the page to see if anything piques their interest, rather than reading the ads, sales letters, or web copy. That’s why you should ensure that your copy is scanner friendly. That means placing headlines, subheads, and other devices throughout your copy that’s compelling enough to sell your customers on your business.

How can you turn the casual scanner into an active reader? More importantly, how can we turn a scanner into a buyer? First, ensure that your headlines can stand alone, without the support of other sentences. For most, that means getting rid of those one-word headlines. Headlines should include the benefit of your offering, evoke curiosity, or compel the scanner to read the main copy.

Don’t forget the subheads. They also should be compelling, preferably complementing the headline, giving enough power to nudge your reader from scanning to reading mode. Keep in mind good subheads support the main promise of your copy. If your headline, for example, promises to help your customers lose weight, your subheads could briefly explain that your product is clinically proven or has a secret ingredient. Subheads are also a great place to introduce your offers.

Another way to be a scanner’s friend is to use short paragraphs. Rule of thumb: Keep paragraphs between 3 to 5 sentences. If you must use a long sentence, place a short snappy paragraph after it.

The most popular way to generate interest: Use underlines, boldface, highlights, and italics throughout your copy, carefully. Too much can leave your customers overwhelmed and likely to stop scanning and move on. When using these tools remember, the purpose is to emphasize certain points.

Building Skills in Information Marketing will Boost Your Business
Yesterday I was sitting on a train going into London when I thought I’d take a look around the carriage just to see what everyone was doing. I wanted to make a mental note because my five year old son always asks me ‘what happened at your work today Daddy?’ So I put my newspaper down and took a look around me.The chap beside me was reading a book about selling, the woman on the other side of the aisle was using her computer and the two men opposite me were discussing a presentation they had seen. Then it struck me - everyone around me was an ‘information consumer’.
