AAFD's The Franchisee Voice newsletter goes online

SAN DIEGO, CA, February 21, 2009 /Franchise PR News/ -- The American Association of Franchisees and Dealers recently announced its newsletter, The Franchisee Voice, will now be published exclusively online at http://www.thefranchiseevoice.com. The publication had previously been a quarterly, hard copy newsletter mailed out to AAFD members.
"Going online dramatically expands our influence, and unlocks huge opportunities to communicate with our members, prospective members and the general public in real time," said Robert Purvin, chairman of AAFD. "We are no longer locked into finite page limitations and can expand the editorial content of our contributors—the possibilities are endless!"
Among the benefits of the online version of The Franchisee Voice are:
Unlimited distribution
Longer shelf life for articles
Expanded value to archived articles
Faster publication cycle - getting 'hot news' to members much faster
The ability to rapidly 'spread the word' about Total Quality Franchising practices, the AAFD's Fair Franchising Standards, and AAFD Accredited Franchisors.
Substantially improved effectiveness for advertisers, as readers will now be able to link immediately to products and services of interest.
In the not-too-distant future, AAFD plans to turn The Franchisee Voice into an 'online' community in which members and readers can engage each other by blogging their comments and discussions about the articles that appear in the voice, and other subjects of interest to readers. Plans are also being developed for classified ads and the possibility for an online marketplace for members, especially the potential for franchise sales (limited to AAFD Accredited opportunities) and resales.
"Since we first began to visualize The Franchisee Voice online, new ideas and suggestions seem to materialize on a daily basis," said Purvin. "We are eager to hear from our readers and continually expand the dream."
