Designates all 210 Markets in the United
States, detailing each county and state for Single Unit and Area
Franchise Development Sales. The DMA system is a nationally
accepted standard by all Media. The DMA map is an excellent
method of awarding territories to area developers and multi-unit
Franchisee's.

Map & Marketing
Frandocs provides a wall mountable Designated Market Area (DMA)
map with the Combination Program. This map can be used by the
Franchisor as a sales tool and marketing system that coincides
with the Franchise Agreement. By utilizing the DMA marketing
structure, the Franchisor can award, non-overlapping exclusive
territories to its Franchisees. The DMA marketing system allows
the Franchisor to assign exclusive areas as small as a one mile
radius around a franchise unit up to entire cities, single
counties or even multiple counties that reside within the same
marketing area that is covered by the television and radio
stations whose signals dominate the DMA.

An example of this is the Atlanta,
Georgia DMA which encompasses over 45 counties including two
counties located in the state of Alabama. With this system the
Atlanta DMA can be sold to a master Franchisee encompassing the
entire area or to individual Franchisees who would then be able
to have their advertising and marketing coordinated within the
Atlanta DMA. The DMA map is 30"X30" and can be hung on
a wall in the Franchise Sales Offices.

_____________________________________________________________________________
We have found that the use of Designated
Market Areas can accelerate your franchise sales by providing a
fair and equal system for the awarding of Franchises. The DMA
system has been accepted by most major Franchisors and
Franchisees as a marketing tool.
