Older franchisers have to ensure that they stay in the minds of the people and newer ones have to make sure that they get there.

Add Pizzazz. You don't want to be a player in the game- you want to own the game. Very successful businesses have become a part of the social fabric.

If you do not stay unique with your finger on the pulse of your consumers, you are inviting someone else to do so.
