Chances of Getting Referrals – It is always a cost-free advocacy by customers to provide referrals to a franchise when they feel satisfied and encouraged and when they have a healthy relationship with customers. These referrals or customer’s reference of other customers act like a piece of cake for franchisees as there is no cost and struggle involved in this. This could be treated as the best outcome of quality relationship for a franchisee.

Role of Customer Loyalty in Franchise Management

It is very important for a franchisee to build loyalty among their customers towards their product or service. Loyal customers usually are the most profitable as they:

• Form the bulk of the sales volume.• Cost less to serve because they are

further up the relationship learning curve with your franchise.

• Refer other customers and generate positive word-of-mouth promotion for your products and services.

• Readily purchase new products introduced by your franchise.

• Are receptive to up-selling (buying higher-priced versions of products) & cross-selling (buying other types of products).

• Are the most forgiving when problems occur.
