When it comes to attending large scale events, it can often be incredibly overwhelming. Whether you are exhibiting or attending, the bright colours and loud noises can be disconcerting when you first arrive. This is why Revive! recommends that anyone looking to attend a large-scale show such as the International Franchise Show in London next month takes some time to plan ahead before attending.
Explore your opportunities
The International Franchise Show plays host to the UK’s largest selection of franchise brands under one-roof. With over 250 franchise brands in attendance offering opportunities in over 25 different sectors, it can be a struggle to talk through all the options on offer. This is why we recommend you narrow down your selection. Cut out sectors that you have no interest in or are outside of your budget as these will significantly slow you down when you have no intention of buying. It is always helpful to highlight 5-10 specific franchises that really interest you and you want to hear more about. Make these your priorities to visit, chat to and get as much information from as possible.
Attend a Seminar
With over 60 seminars, workshops and panels on offer, the show has plenty of items to fill your day with. Industry veterans, business experts and franchising gurus will all be in attendance to give an insight into the modern world of franchising and provide advice on starting your own business. Our own franchise director will be speaking at the International Franchise show, giving tips about how to find the right management franchise for you.
Make sure you plan your day with a mix of attending the seminars you think will be the most useful and, of course, speaking to the franchisors there at the show.
Remember that Franchisors will be assessing you as well!
Good franchisors want to sign up the best people to become franchisees in their network and shouldn’t be giving you the ‘hard sell’ while you are there. But they will want to get to know a bit more about you so if there are particular franchises you are more interested in, make sure you do some prior research, look at their website and have some key questions ready.
The International Franchise Show in London attracts over 11,000 attendees to the ExCeL Centre including business owners, franchisors and franchisees, entrepreneurs and more so if you can narrow down some of the options before you go, that will give you more time with the franchises you are more interested in.
Learn about Franchising
Many of you who are thinking of attending may not be that familiar with franchising or the opportunities it presents. Events such as this give you a fantastic chance to learn more about the industry and experience why so many new business owners are venturing into franchising rather than opting for sole ownership. At the Franchise Show, you’ll have the freedom to network with a range of franchise experts, consultants, and associations to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of starting your own business and how franchising could change your life.
