On Mondays, podcast host Jack Monson joins Mike McDowell, Certified Facebook Ad Buyer & Business Manager, to discuss Facebook tips for Franchises on Mondays courtesy of Social Joey.

A big challenge for franchise systems right now is staffing! Nearly all local owners are advertising job openings now and struggling to fill the positions needed to take care of customers. Facebook is rolling out Facebook Campus and Mike shares some ideas on how to use this new tool to find new team members as well as reaching 18 - 25 year olds with all messages. Note, this demographic is flooding back to Facebook this year! 

This special episode was recorded in Philadelphia at one of this year's excellent Franchise Shows organized by National Event Management.

It's been fantastic to get back on the road with friends in the Franchise space again! Joining us today are Richie Huffmanof Celebree School, Tim McCarthy of Rosati's, Christina Smith of Midtown Chimney Sweeps, and Tim Courtney of PuroClean. Each shares some insight on the culture of their brand and thoughts on what makes the culture of Franchising so compelling.
