TL;DR
Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa emphasizes the importance of national exposure for franchise brands, citing their own success with TV show giveaways. The brand has given away gift cards on shows like The Rachael Ray Show, The Ellen Degeneres Show, and Steve Harvey Show.
Starting off in franchising is hard enough, but according to Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa, it can be made easier if you sign on with a nationally recognized brand.
On their blog, they noted, "This month we gave away Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa gift cards to the audience on the Rachael Ray Show. In the past, we’ve also provided Hand & Stone gift cards to guests of The Ellen Degeneres Show and Steve Harvey Show. National brand exposure like a gift card giveaway on a syndicated television show is valuable for Hand & Stone’s brand and its franchisees. It makes franchisees feel good about their brand and spreads the word to consumers even further, spurring new foot traffic."
The benefits of a national franchise are threefold: a proven track record of success, a finely-tuned business model and ongoing marketing support. The years of franchisee experience also provides new franchisees with a strong franchisee system to lean on and learn from.
