Post & Packing Are Attending The Franchise Show 2017

The Franchise Show 2017, set to be hosted between 17-18 February, is the latest and greatest opportunity for a series of UK and international franchise brands to showcase their excellence on a national stage. Names will be coming from all across the world to both exhibit and absorb the brilliance of the companies on display.

Post and Packing will be making their third appearance at the event – having initially showcased our brand there back in 2015 (which was our first ever offer for franchise opportunities). If you’re interested in finding out more about the business services we provide – or any of the amazing names who will be in attendance – we highly recommend you come and experience the event for yourself.

Exhibitors

At this year’s show there will a whopping 165 exhibitors – more than the expo has experienced at any other time when it’s been held. Post and Packing are proud to count themselves among that number, with our elite postal service and mail requirement brand sharing the billing with the likes of:

  • McDonalds
  • Donut King
  • Microsoft
  • NatWest

We’re thrilled to be placing our name alongside these elite franchises, who have earned global acclaim for their solid reputations in their respective industries. Here at P&P, we pride ourselves on high quality service which leaves our customers as satisfied as possible.

As such, we feel we’ve well-and-truly earned our place among the esteemed names on display. For a full break down of all the different exhibitors who’ll be ready to present at the show, check out their official website listings page.

Seminars

A highlight of the show for everyone interested in franchise business comes in the form of several free 30-minute seminars, which you’ll find hosted throughout the course of the day.

There are eight seminars available for people to attend, with six of these focusing on a specific step along the path to mastering the perfect franchise. These include:

  • Franchise opportunities
  • How to franchise your business
  • Buying a franchise
  • A day in the life of a franchise
  • Business essentials
  • Buying a franchise

These useful steps should give you a solid footing when it comes to converting your business. For a more niche approach, McDonalds provide attendees with two 75-minute-long talks, which cover specific aspects of how they deal with a variety of different franchise-related factors, such as:

  • Hearing from company representatives
  • The opinions of current franchisees
  • Banking partners

They also provide a full panel of experts who will be on hand and happy to answer any questions you pose them. Once again, for further information on all the different seminars available, you can check out the Franchise Show 2017 website.

Benefits of attending The Franchise Show 2017

The crowning glory of the expo comes in the form of the many different activities which you’ll find available when the event takes place this February. Most of the features on offer would normally be impossible to acquire for free, but, thanks to the nature of this event, there are a quartet of bonuses which companies can look to exploit:

  • Franchise Advice Zone:This section of the expo provides current and prospective franchises the opportunity to sit down and chat with industry leading experts from a relevant sector. The advice is free and unbiased, and is available throughout the course of the day.
  • Master Licensing Matchmaking:Some of the brands who are exhibiting will not have a UK franchising license, which means you’ll have the chance to convince them to give you the rights to their national Master Franchise License. This will be a 1-to-1 meeting between you and an international brand who you’d be interested in forging a partnership with.
  • 1-to-1 Appointments:Personalised expert advice is not something which is easily attainable – especially free of charge. However, if you’re looking for financial, legal or business franchising advice, you can sit down for a 20-minute appointment with an expert who will run you through everything you need to know. Make sure to take notes.
  • Facilitated Networking:These networking sessions are perfect for anyone who’s looking to make a wealth of new contacts in a sector or industry they’re attempting to make a name in. Think of this like speed dating – but for contacts, as opposed to phone numbers. Who knows, you might make a connection which helps your business excel in the future.

As well as these perks, you’ll also be fill your boots with as much free tea and coffee as you’d like. Here you can sit, mingle and maybe even make a few new contacts, if you’re lucky.
