If you’re like most franchisees and business owners, you’re not sure how to spend your NAF and RAF funds. Let’s be honest you have searched google high and low to try and make sense of your NAF and RAF, although even google can’t provide you with the help you need.
At McKay, Advertising + Activation can help you make the most of your marketing dollars and grow your business! We specialize in assisting franchisees and businesses in understanding and using their NAF and RAF funds correctly so that you can see a real return on investment.
What are NAF and RAF funds?
If you are a franchisee or business owner, you are familiar with the terms NAF and RAF. In fact, you might be rolling your eyes as you read this. After all, NAF and RAF are notorious for causing problems between franchises and corporations. At McKay Advertising + Activation, we like to solve problems and bridge that gap between corporate and franchise, which is why we are known as the franchise whisperers. A franchise whisperer is a marketing agency that adopts a sympathetic view of the franchisee’s motives, needs, and desires while nurturing the corporate mission.
NAF stands for National Advertising Funds, and RAF stands for Regional Advertising Funds. The NAF is used for national advertising campaigns, while the RAF is used for regional or local campaigns. The purpose of these funds is to pool resources so that the franchise can advertise and promote the brand more efficiently and effectively. The NAF and RAF are essential tools for franchisees because they allow them to pool resources and have a say in how the money is spent. This can help create a more unified brand and help franchisees stay up-to-date on the latest marketing initiatives.
These funds are crucial because they help franchisees gain visibility for their businesses and reach new customers. By pooling resources, franchisees can create a more powerful marketing punch that will ultimately help them grow their businesses.
So What’s the Problem?
The problem is that franchises often do not have the proper resources or insights to manage NAF and RAF in the most effective and beneficial ways. And when they do, there is often a disconnect between how corporate and franchisees want to spend the money. To be done right, each location gets an individual campaign, which is one of our top priorities at Mckay Advertising + Activation.
