When you say franchises have a lot of support, do you mean they probably already have direct mail service in place? The thing I’m worried about is can small business afford $150.00 for 1,000 direct mail ads, especially in a bad economic time. Then again their other direct mail service choice is $3,000 per 1,000 ads.
The big benefits of a franchise is they give you a plan and the tools needed to be successful using a successful model that has been tested. Of course the downsides to a franchise is less flexibility in the way the business operates and capital requirements vs a self financed start up.
