What Type of Marketing Support is Given to Franchisees?

If you’re an entrepreneur interested in making an investment in a Smokin’ Oak Wood-Fired Pizza franchise, you may wonder what marketing support you’ll receive to help your new business succeed. Our team will not only help you with demographic research and site evaluation to help you select the perfect location, but we also provide advertising and marketing programs and proven social media campaigns to help drive guests to your franchise. During your initial 2-week training session for owners and managers at our flagship location, our dedicated marketing team will provide publicity strategies to create buzz for your Grand Opening and ongoing advertising solutions to help your fast casual pizza franchise grow and succeed in your territory.

Marketing and Advertising

When you open your Smokin’ Oak Pizza franchise, you’ll receive expert assistance from our teams in advertising and marketing–including social media and online marketing programs, as well as strategies for generating interest in the local media. In addition, we will guide you with the types of publicity tools you need to make your grand opening a success. Finally, we can help with assistance for local advertising campaigns and provide clear direction and messaging.

In addition, as your franchisor we have established ties with vendors and suppliers that you can utilize, including top-level marketing agencies. With established logos and images, we provide your franchise with brand-recognition right from the get-go. Any successful franchise operation requires marketing and branding consistency across all franchises—and Smokin’ Oak guides you every step of the way.

Site Location Support

If you’re interested in opening a Smokin’ Oak Pizza franchise, a franchisor from our team will assist you with site selection. We can share in-depth demographic and statistical data to help determine which locations and franchise territories not only meet our site criteria but are most likely to yield long-term success.

Franchisee Training

Many of our new franchisees do not have a background in food service, so our training includes everything you need to build a successful fast casual restaurant franchise. When you join our team, you will receive extensive training. You’ll join the Initial Franchise Training Program in Rochester, MN, for two weeks, where you’ll learn about all aspects of the Smokin’ Oak Pizza franchise business. You’ll also receive five days of on-site training and support at your store’s location, beginning a few days before you open and lasting until a few days after your Grand Opening.
