The Coolest Franchise Website Contest!
Which Franchise Concept has the Coolest Website???
??????????????????????????????????????
This contest ran from May to June...
Do you know which North American based franchise company sports the best looking website? You know...the ONE that really forces you to stop in your tracks? The one that has the best combination of style, colors, and maybe something really unusual?
The franchise industry has exploded over the past few years, and so has the internet. If you own a franchise company, and you don't have a website, then you shouldn't expect too many prospective franchise owners to contact you. Almost everyone searching for a business that they can call their own starts their exploratory process by going online, and searching for franchises. Once they find one that interests them, they will decide to stay on a website, or to move on, in about 7-10 seconds. Your website needs to be memorable, in their eyes.
We are on a mission. Our mission is to find, and then award the Coolest Franchise Website around.
The Prizes!
1st Place: $120 worth of qualified leads delivered directly to your Franchise Sales Department, courtesy of 
!
Plus A FREE 6 month tile advertisement on the home page of- 
And a "Winner of The Coolest Franchise Website Award" badge that you can place on your cool website.

extremely powerful and effective method of generating high-quality
franchise candidate leads for franchisors. It’s revolutionizing

appearing on just one website, The Franchise Engine creates and
advertises your detailed franchise listing across our network of
partner websites that reach more than 2 million visitors per month.
Qualified leads. None of our partner sites offer "Submit All" buttons. This means all potential franchise candidates must review your franchise information before they can request additional information from you.
