A range of franchisors attended including delegates from McDonalds, Mr Electric, Ben & Jerry's, Cartridge World, Safeclean and ChipsAway International. All had the opportunity to learn about the latest developments within the franchise community. Jat Mann from PC Pal commented: “An excellent event which I would definitely recommend to fellow franchisors. There was a good range of suppliers and informative presentations. This event certainly placed suppliers on my radar that we weren’t previously aware of. Plus, watching the presentations of exhibiting suppliers that we do actually use reminded that there were elements of their services that we weren’t using” . Several of the suppliers commented on the success of the day: “The Franchisors who visited our stand were clearly interested in our services and the event provided a convenient and pleasant opportunity to meet with them”. Bill Duncan, Secure Virtual Office. “Exhibiting at the Showcase Event gave us an opportunity to speak to a couple of key people that we had been trying to meet for some time. We are working on some promising leads and if one bears fruit we will be very pleased.” Robert Dick, Cirrus Tenant Leasing The success of the day enabled franchisors to network with fellow colleagues within the franchise community. Brian Duckett, Director, explains, “We have received excellent feedback, both from the delegates and the presenters for our informative and professional events. Franchisors are able to learn about specialist suppliers that are of real value to their management and day-to-day running of their franchise. Suppliers are able to spend quality time with their target audience and follow-up on direct leads”. Nick Strong, Director, continues “For suppliers the Showcase Event is a key event but the day is just one of the ways that we can introduce their products and services to franchisors. We offer a multi-media approach, combining events, e-news, publications and specialist training. In short, we offer suppliers a targeted approach to help them access the franchise marketplace.” To find out more about The Franchise Supplier Showcase range of services and events please call 02380 273434. |
