From time to time I find interesting news happening in the world of franchising so I have decided to share them with my readers in this format. I hope you enjoy this new addition to the Small Biz Franchising Blog. They will have the same title and the same graphic and, of course, they will be a new category.

Announces New Website
Pizza Hut recently announced the launch of a new site solely dedicated to their franchising efforts. I love this site, it provides great information in a very simple and succinct manner. I think it is very effective.
I believe this move by Pizza Hut speaks to the power of SEO. As companies look for new ways to bring their franchise offerings to the forefront of searches by potential franchisees, they realize their websites need to be more focused. The Pizza Hut (http://www.pizzahutfranchise.com) is one example of how franchising companies are playing the SEO game well!

Today more than ever franchisors are searching for leads, and an effective source for more qualified ones are referral sources. The Entrepreneur’s Source (TES) is the leading career and business coaching firm specializing in introducing potential franchisees to franchisors.
TES will be hosting a franchisor networking event next month. The objective of this gathering is to educate franchisors about the benefits of working with TES. The event will take place on Wednesday, September 15, 2010 at the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Brian Miller, President and CEO of The Entrepreneur’s Source said about this event: “We want to give franchisors who have yet to discover the benefits of working with TES a glimpse into the growth programs we have in place to help them achieve their goals.” He encourages interested franchisors to contact Lisa Powell before August the 26th at (203) 405-2114 or LPowell@FranchiseSource.com.
