Reach Tens of Thousands of Aspiring Entrepreneurs By Partnering with Franchise Interviews

Six years ago, Franchise Interviews launched one of the first national/international radio shows dedicated to educating and motivating aspiring entrepreneurs on franchising.

Marty McDermott stated, “Our partnership with BlogTalkRadio.com has given us the opportunity to reach a significantly larger market of aspiring entrepreneurs domestically and internationally through the power of Internet Radio. The show has been a tremendous success. Listeners, guests and subscribers have found our weekly radio program and franchise newsletter extremely informative and personal."

Franchise Interviews uses a combination of public relations and marketing via Internet Radio, Banners, Radio Commercials, Links, Search Engine Optimization, Franchise Websites, Press Releases and our popular franchise newsletter to reach a highly targeted audience of prospective franchisees.
