Well, for 2015 I’m happy to report that we’re probably going to end up sending
well over 100 million emails! And that only means that we’ve learned more
about how potential franchisees interact with email.
Text ads in LinkedIn appear in a few different places; at the top of the page
or on the right rail. Even though they are far less likely to be clicked than
sponsored posts, the payment and ad serving mechanism is the same for both ad
types. You choose a bid per click and you pay that bid every time a user
clicks on one of your ads. The frequency with which your ad is shown is based
on the value of your bid relative to bids of other advertisers targeting the
same audience.
It might seem obvious to say that everyone reacts to emails differently, but
how do you put that into practice? Do you send different emails based on where
people live? What franchise industry they’re interested in? Their current role
at work? Something else altogether?
Notice how the past few weeks are not only quite lower than the rest of the
year but also how the magnitude of the short term changes (both up and down)
have been increased in the past little while.
As long as we’ve been in the industry, the team here at FranchiseHelp has been
told about this terrible five month period between May and September.
Allegedly, the summer is the absolute worst time for franchise development.
