ABOUT
FRANCHISE-CHAT
Dr Callum Floyd founded Franchise-chat in 1999 whilst completing
a Ph.D researching franchising.
Franchise-chat was established with two key objectives in mind,
- To bring franchise news stories and resource articles from around
the world to one convenient location.
- To provide a forum where prospective/existing franchisees and
franchisors, and other interested parties, could interact, ask
questions and discuss franchise-related issues.
Franchise-chats visitor numbers have increased dramatically
year on year. The readership is both large and global, with thousands
of people visiting from more than 30 different countries each week.
Furthermore, Franchise-chat is consistently ranked in the top 5
search results for franchise news on all the major search engines,
often taking the #1 spot.
Many improvements and enhancements have and continue to be made
to Franchise-chat. Recently, a new forum was implemented to provide
users with a more powerful but still user-friendly discussion platform.
A whole new style and layout has also been applied to enhance usability.
Keeping Franchise-chat live and updated with news every day requires
considerable effort. Each day involves a search through hundreds
of newswire, newspaper and other sites for the very latest in franchise
news. Chris Noble (Associate Editor) and Callum jointly manage the
various tasks of updating, maintaining and improving Franchise-chat
for the benefit of the global franchise community.
