Sign Gypsies provides its franchisees with a concise yet structured training program designed to support the successful operation of the franchised business. The training and ongoing support initiatives include the following:
Sign Gypsies provides its franchisees with territory protection through an Area of Primary Responsibility (APR). The franchisor agrees not to allow any other franchisee or itself to install custom yard greetings at residences located within a franchisee’s APR.
This territory is defined by zip codes, travel time, physical boundaries, and is mapped in the Franchise Agreement. However, the territory protection does have exceptions.
Sign Gypsies reserves the right to sell celebratory yard signs under its brand names through alternative channels, such as the internet, retail locations, catalogs, and direct marketing. While franchisees maintain exclusivity within their APR for residential installations, the franchisor’s reserved rights ensure broader brand distribution.
