Insight
The Why
The Joint engaged Brand J in early 2017 to build a new recruitment website, launch story-based franchise lead generation and develop a series of development videos. The Joint had grown to just over 200 locations using an area developer model but recruitment was stagnant. Explaining why The Joint was an opportunity more multi unit franchise owners should explore was a challenge.
The Joint Chiropractic had a unique problem: as the first national membership chiropractic care franchise, how could they attract multi unit franchisees as well as recruit chiropractic doctors? Brand J helped them grow from just over 200 locations to almost 1,000 locations.
Approach
The How
Over the years, Brand J has launched a myriad of marketing strategies, including new and old methods of advertising. When it comes to creating a marketing strategy, we don’t just run ads just to fill forms. We learn what your brand is and where you’ve come from, what your goals are, and what your budget is, so we can formulate the best marketing strategy for your brand.
- Franchise Development focused website: Brand J created an award-winning recruitment website for The Joint, which told two different investment stories – one to entrepreneurs coming from fitness models and one to chiropractic doctors looking to diversify. This website was deep and rich, using research funnels, storytelling videos and high-conversion paths, giving it a very high conversion rate of visitors to lead. Best of all, the website educated candidates and explained the WHY.
- Traditional digital ads: Brand J launched programmatic search and display campaigns across the Google and Bing sphere targeting behavior, interests, and specific geographic locations to make sure the spend was targeted, producing a high ROI.
- Organic content writing: A great SEO strategy in the long run validates your brand, gives interested readers something more to learn, and helps your team point interested candidates to the right content. Not to mention, the right content helps your website rank for keywords users are already searching for, helping to create a path from interested candidate to potential franchisee.
- Social Commerce Lead Generation: Brand J launched a variety of social ads on many networks including photos, carousels, short-form videos and UGC along with link campaigns, lead forms, messenger opt-ins and retargeting ads.
- Podcasting: Potential franchisees don’t just want to read about your brand, they want to hear about it too. Today, there are over 464 million podcast listeners out there. Spotlighting The Joint in podcasting brought a new light to an already flourishing brand
