Happy New Year and welcome to a new decade!
2019 was an amazing year at Sparktank. We had the opportunity to continue work with some of our longtime clients as well as onboard over a dozen new ones in the past year.
With clients ranging from food, coffee shops, grooming, seniors services to children’s entertainment industries, there’s never a dull moment!
We’re excited to continue helping our franchise clients grow with outside the box franchise recruitment campaigns and marketing support for their franchisees.
New Services and Strategies
We’re always trying to come up with more innovative ways to help franchises grow. Here are just a few of the new services we have introduced or are currently working on:
- Our Franchise LinkedIn Outreach Program has been a big hit with clients and has proven to be an excellent way to engage with quality professional candidates.
- Email Follow-up Lead Nurturing campaigns are such an important component of a successful franchise recruitment campaign so we developed a full package to implement that for our clients.
- We are also working on developing a chatbot program for our clients’ franchise recruitment websites to make the most of the website visitors are campaigns attract.
- We’ve found that video gets the best engagement in our digital campaigns so we are integrating more and more of those in our ads.
- Many of our clients have started using our local marketing programs to generate business for franchisees. From grand opening programs to ongoing marketing, these programs help franchisees generate more business. The results have been quite impressive!
