How Community Engagement Can Help Grow Your Ice Cream Business
Jeremiah’s Italian Ice® is more than just passionate about serving up cool and delicious treats – we also take great pride in our commitment to serving others and giving back to our communities. Our franchisees are just as passionate about community engagement, often creating partnerships that not only support their neighborhoods, but also help them grow their dessert franchise. Keep reading to find out more about how being a leader in your community can positively impact your business when you franchise with us.
BRINGING A CULTURE OF COOL TO YOUR COMMUNITY
From our loyal fans and in-store Frog Squad to our franchisees and support center team, Jeremiah’s is known for cultivating a Culture of Cool that touches every community we’re part of. As the owner of an ice cream business, you will also become a leader in your community with the assistance of our Local Store Marketing (LSM) Team. We not only ensure your dessert franchise is ready for business, but we’ll also help you connect with members of your community, ranging from schools to youth programs, and more. You’ll become part of Jeremiah’s LSM Program from the minute you sign your property lease and start fostering your community relationships.
Through our LSM Program, you can find new and innovative ways to give back to fans, network with community partners and organizations, and sponsor local events. Additionally, the LSM program includes Jeremiah’s Sweet Incentive Program, which allows our franchisees to provide cool ways for students to be deliciously rewarded for their hard work. By offering this program to teachers within your community, you can nurture meaningful relationships that can also help get the word out about your dessert franchise. We offer a range of tools to support the LSM Program and your efforts. Vending and catering services are other opportunities that may arise from your LSM outreach which may allow you to grow your business from OUT of your store and into your community.
When you engage and connect with your community, people will not only see your dessert franchise as a place to order irresistible frozen treats – they’ll view your Jeremiah’s location as a hometown landmark.
SHOWING APPRECIATION FOR FANS
Beyond the various programs Jeremiah’s makes available to franchisees, you’ll also be able to provide loyal fans with Jeremiah’s J-List Rewards to show your appreciation. Through the loyalty app, fans in your territory can receive all sorts of goodies, including access to exclusive discounts and free frozen treats on birthdays. Our cool and free incentives can help you keep fans engaged and give them plenty of reasons to keep coming back to build up more points. When your fans feel appreciated and excited by everything you have to offer, your ice cream business can better grow and thrive.
