Don’t Miss the Premier Franchising Event in the South!
Hundreds of franchise concepts will be showcased at the premier franchising event in the South – the Franchise Expo South (FES), sponsored by the International Franchise Association (IFA). The three-day show, held January 9-11, 2009, draws entrepreneurs from throughout the southern United States seeking franchise opportunities to the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami Beach, FL. Suppliers, franchisors, franchisees and prospective franchisees have the rare opportunity to meet face to face with one another.
The 2009 FES will feature a variety of Seminars and Symposia. It's a something-for-everyone educational experience, from basic how-to sessions to advanced, in-depth examinations of the different franchise relationships and how they affect potential franchisees and those looking to franchise an existing business.
Franchising companies exhibiting at the FES come from an array of industries offering concepts at all investment levels. It is the ideal venue for: Franchising a current business or buying a franchise, building brand awareness, suppliers introducing their products to franchisors, meeting clients’ in-person, networking, educating current and potential business owners and introducing financing options.
For franchisors, having a presence at the FES is an integral way for franchise companies to discover and connect with prospective franchise owners. Bill Hart of Suburban Cylinder Express explained, “We exhibit at FES to connect with the best prospects in the south. We reach thousands of visitors in just one weekend and exhibiting at the show gives us a competitive edge.”
“FES in Miami was the best franchise show I have attended in years. We collected over 200 leads at the show. We are in serious discussions with at least 3 groups interested in purchasing HomeVestors franchise. The quality of leads and interest in our concept was strong,” agreed Jason Killough of HomeVestors of America.
The FES is the most comprehensive conference on franchising held in the southern United States. The event attracts investors from all over the region. Whether you are interested in visiting particular franchisor booths, or simply want to learn more about the basics of owning your own business, be sure to attend the franchise industry’s premier event in the southern United States, the Franchise Expo South.
