There are many “BEST” and “Top” lists in franchising, but recognition as a World-Class Franchise® is unique, because it is empirically based upon the opinions of existing franchisees (gathered with scientific research methodology).
- World-Class recognition means membership in an elite group of franchise opportunities (the top 1% of more than 3,000 available in North America).
- Recognition includes a page on the World-Class Franchise website, with a link to your company website.
- Franchisee candidates have access to your unique page and your franchise company’s outstanding survey results.
- Co-op advertising opportunities with other World-Class Franchises (in publications such as Forbes and Entrepreneur) are made available at highly desirable rates.
- World-Class Franchises are featured in national publications (such as USA TODAY).
- Your company would have unlimited use of the World-Class Franchise seal in print and digital media.
- Your franchise opportunity can be featured in an optional, customized video testimonial by Jeff Johnson, founder and CEO of the Franchise Research Institute.
- Differentiation from other franchise opportunities assists in candidates’ due diligence and supports efforts with franchise brokers.
