The economy has caused franchise firms to decrease the number of seminars, conferences, trade shows and training programs they participate in due to the high cost of that participation
Those franchise organizations are now seeking new ways to locate prospective franchisees, train & motivate staff and franchisees, and to gain industry information in a cost-effective manner
Technology advancements have already made virtual events a viable, cost-effective and impactful alternative for presentations, sales and training in all types of industries; the franchise industry should experience the same high levels of success
