Why Franchisors Are Increasingly Using Franchise Press Releases to Drive Growth

In the modern franchise landscape, press releases are no longer just announcements — they are a core tool for growth. Franchisors who understand this shift are turning every milestone, achievement, and update into a strategic opportunity to build credibility, authority, and momentum.

Franchise candidates, brokers, investors, and franchise professionals all consume franchise news long before they ever speak to a brand. The information they find online shapes their perception, influences their trust, and ultimately impacts whether they engage.

“Press releases today aren’t just marketing,” says Mark Milburn, founder of Franchise Marketing Solutions. “They are a system for showing the market that your brand is active, credible, and growing.”

Why Franchisors Should Use Press Releases Strategically

• Accelerate Franchise Candidate Engagement: Candidates who see consistent updates feel more confident in your brand.

• Improve Conversations with Brokers and Investors: Third-party validation reduces friction in early-stage discussions.

• Strengthen SEO and Digital Presence: Every release builds your footprint and authority online.

• Reinforce Brand Authority: Regular press positions your franchise as a credible, reliable opportunity.

The key to success is consistency. One press release may create awareness, but repeated, networked announcements turn milestones into lasting growth assets.

The Franchise Marketing Solutions Network amplifies the impact of every press release, ensuring that your stories reach the right audiences across multiple trusted platforms. This transforms PR from a one-off expense into a repeatable growth system.
