Video: Why the Franchise Growth & Marketing Conference (FGMC) is a Can't-Miss Event for Franchise Marketers
The new Franchise Growth & Marketing Conference is rapidly approaching and will be held June 2-4 at the InterContinental Buckhead, Atlanta. This event, reimagined and refocused from the Franchise Customer Experience Conference (FCXC), is designed specifically for the executives responsible for driving growth and improving unit-level economics across franchise brands.
Franchise Update Media created FGMC to help franchisors meet many of today’s challenges, such as rising acquisition costs, rapidly changing AI tech, evolving customer expectations, and increasing pressure to prove ROI at the unit level. It is designed for executives and teams responsible for turning brand strategy into unit-level revenue, stronger same-store sales, and greater franchisee profitability.
FGMC brings together forward-looking marketers who are redefining how brands attract customers, convert demand, and drive measurable top-line growth across the system. Networking opportunities are a key part of the conference and offer a chance to connect with sponsors, solution providers, and fellow franchise executives who share the same challenges.
The full agenda for this year’s Franchise Growth & Marketing Conference can be found HERE.
Franchise Update interviewed several franchise executives about their experience attending last year’s FCXC and what advice they would share with peers considering the conference. Each discussed the importance of meeting like-minded marketing officials, sharing ideas with their peers, and being able to put those thoughts into meaningful action.
In the video, you’ll hear from:
- Lisa Hake, chief marketing officer, Winmark
- Valerie Eichorn, franchise development marketing manager, The Goddard School
- Dawn Perry, chief brand officer, CertaPro Painters
