				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A major <a title="Franchise Direct Survey" href="http://www.franchisedirect.com/information/trendsfacts/prospectivefranchiseesurveywhatfranchiseesarelookingfor4/8/1367/" target="_blank">survey</a> by US firm Franchise Direct pointed towards the &#8216;Brand&#8217; being the third most important consideration for prospective new franchisees.</strong> Think about the journey of a prospective franchisee. How many of your franchises will they visit? What will their impressions be of your Brand? How consistent will your Brand appear from one franchise to another? This will certainly affect the number of franchises that you grant. Branding is complex, but at its nucleus, consistency is paramount. Sally Butters, Director of Media at <a title="Coconut Creatives" href="http://www.coconutcreatives.co.uk/" target="_blank">Coconut Creatives</a> supports this view: <em>&#8216;</em><em>Brand consistency is at the heart of every brand, no matter what the size or nature of the business</em><em>.&#8217; </em> Uniformity across signage, packaging, web and printed marketing collateral is a challenge for any corporate, made more complex across a franchise network. <strong>So where do you start?</strong> Do the simple things first. Ensure the flyers, business cards, posters, leaflets, and brochures used across your network are consistent. Leave it to the franchise to choose a printer &#8211; the chances are your branding will become diluted. Conversely, centralise the print buying process and be burdened with bureaucracy. Embracing web-to-print provides a way to manage brand alignment in printed collateral with little bureaucracy. <a href="/uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Editing1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2200 alignleft" title="Revive! Leaflet" src="/uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Editing1-300x197.jpg" alt="Revive! Leaflet" width="300" height="197" /></a>BrandDemand is a web-to-print solution that lets your franchisees get on and order their own on-brand marketing collateral.

Mark Llewellyn, Managing Director at <a title="Revive!" href="http://www.revive-uk.com/" target="_blank">Revive! </a>comments: &#8216;Introducing the BrandDemand system was about getting better brand alignment across our network.&#8217; Call us today to speak to someone about setting up a web-to-print system for your franchise network.</p>
