Webtreepro Blog

Looking to easily build and manage the websites for your franchise operation?  Look no further.  Webtreepro is the ultimate in simplicity, all while featuring a robust offering of functionality.  The benefits to the franchises and their franchisees?  Let me count the ways!  Stay tuned for Volume 2, and see yet another benefit of using webtreepro.

Benefit 1:

All websites have fresh, up-to-date content, that is instantly published (or delayed if you prefer), all while maintaining the franchise brand, style and content.  And, as if that wasn’t enough…the franchisees can easily add or update content as well.  To what extent?  It is entirely up to headquarters.  See what one customer had to say:

“From the franchise headquarters level, it is fantastic that we can easily publish style and certain content to our franchise offices, but that those local offices also have such an easy tool at their fingertips to exercise their own destination-specific marketing plan. Updates or changes to their local sites that used to take several days and had to be passed through multiple peoples’ hands can now be accomplished in a matter of minutes.  As a result of this ease of use, our local offices are updating their web content and creating additional marketing pieces much more frequently than in the past.” Celeste Pilkington, Manager of Franchise Performance, PRA Destination Management

• Upload image files as large as 1.2 mb.  This is a whopping increase from 50o kb.  Basic instructions on how to upload your imagesinto webtreepro is available in the webtreepro Knowledge Center.

• Configure your expired page and content email notifications to be sent to any email address of your choice.  You are no longer limited to the owner of the page or content.  The webtreepro Knowledge Center provides detail instruction on the use of expiration notices for pages and content.

• All webtreepro sites now have the ability to display the latest items from any standard RSS feed, using the RSS Reader.  This feature is simply added to any page of your choosing, using the Add Content wizard in webtreepro.

• Lastly, webtreepro now features Advanced Site Grouping.  You can now create very deep groupings for your sites and manage the publishing of pages and content to those groups without having to manually select each local site.

“We’re looking forward to giving our entire system a larger footprint on the Internet,” said Miles Lee, President of Alliance Cost Containment.  “Because our Principals serve a local market community, the ability for us to enhance our results in local search is an important part of each franchisee’s portfolio growth.  This not only applies to our customer acquisition, but also will help us sourcing local vendor partners as well,” added Lee.
