Why is brand consistency important in franchising?

Brand consistency is crucial in franchising for several reasons. Firstly, it helps to maintain a strong and unified brand identity across all franchise locations.

Moreover, brand consistency in franchising plays a key role in attracting both customers and prospective franchisees. A well-established and consistent brand image not only appeals to customers, but also entices potential franchisees who are looking to invest in a reputable and recognisable brand.
