Over the last decade there has been tremendous growth in internet advertising and everyone is using it to promote their products and services. The franchise business has not been left behind and today there are hundreds of websites across the internet that are dedicated to disseminating franchising information to interested parties. However, you will notice that we don’t have a franchise Wikipedia and you can start one. If you look up at all the franchise directories on the internet you will realize that we don’t have a comprehensive one that can give you all the information that you need. Most of these directories are to found in websites that are supposed to promote other businesses like a franchise broker. If a franchise directory has been put up by a franchise broker, he will most likely give prominence to franchise businesses that he deals with. Also, since his work is not to run a franchise directory but to run his business, he does not allocate enough resources on the site. Other sites request franchisors to pay in order to get listed in these directories, meaning that only franchisors who have paid up will get to be listed on the directory. This is the reason why a lot of internet based franchise directories are not exhaustive and starting a franchise Wikipedia would be a good way to address this. Entrepreneurs are always coming up with dozens of new franchise businesses not just here in the United States but all over the world. Imagine if you could set up a franchise Wikipedia where these entrepreneurs can upload information about their business ventures not just for prospective employees, but for customers too, who can get a chance to find out locations of their favorite stores especially when travelling. In order to come up with a good franchise Wikipedia, you can enlist the help of well established franchisors by selling advertising space on the Wikipedia pages. You can then come up with a well organized format of various franchise categories (depending on whether a franchise deals with a product or service) and also promotional information for those that have bought advertising space. A franchise Wikipedia will have the exact up to date information of all known franchises including their locations, franchise news, reviews, franchise articles, franchise opportunities and prospective franchisee requirements. This can be achieved by providing site editing tools through which various users can upload information and share it online. A successful franchise Wikipedia can be a good advertising tool for franchising companies which would enable them to reach many customers. The aim of a franchise Wikipedia will be to offer quality and reliable information to people. This will in turn, assist them to choose franchises that corresponds with their skills.
