The chain is shared,_the customer is local

01

One brand, local responsibility

In a franchise chain the brand is shared, but sales happen at the locations. The chain decides the look, the message and national visibility. The franchisee knows the local competition and demand, and how much the location can serve. Advertising choices come from combining the two.

When franchisees fund advertising for their own area, budget, targeting and invoicing have to be separated by location.

02

The limits the chain agrees

The chain agrees what a franchisee can change and what stays shared. Typically the look and the brand message stay the same across the chain, and the local version shows the location's offer, opening hours and address. In our campaigns, putting the name of the town or district in the ad has raised click-through rates compared with a generic version.* So the local version is worth making visible in the ad copy itself.

The idea for the chain's brand campaign usually comes from working with the advertising agency. The Assets page explains the roles of the different assets in more detail.

03

The franchisee's local work and the national campaign

A franchisee can run advertising for their own area in NØRR3 Marketing Engine within the limits the chain has agreed, while NØRR3 manages the chain's national campaign. The two can run side by side. NØRR3 supports franchisees during setup and afterwards when needed.

In the Engine, location-specific campaign versions are created from an approved template. Each location can have its own budget and targeting radius, and invoicing is itemised by location. NØRR3 builds the templates for the DCO & Templates app. User access and invoicing details are agreed with the chain during setup.

04

Agreed budgets and tracking by location

In our campaigns, splitting the budget into too many small location or area slices has weakened efficiency, because a small slice does not give the platform time to learn and unit costs rise.* So the location-level structure is sized to what the budget can carry. If a local budget is very small, locations can be grouped into areas.

Business Dashboard in NØRR3 Marketing Engine reports results by location where location-level data is available. Tracking helps compare locations using shared definitions. Who sees which location's figures is agreed during setup.
