Our Approach to Local Franchise Marketing
Marketing goes beyond simply putting a name out there—it’s about creating memorable experiences that bring guests back time and again. Cold Stone Creamery franchise owners benefit from a well-rounded mix of national advertising, seasonal campaigns, and tailored local strategies designed to drive traffic and boost engagement.
Whether located in a small town or a bustling shopping center, franchisees receive the tools and guidance needed to attract new guests and nurture lasting relationships. Limited-time offerings (LTOs) are a key part of this marketing approach. From holiday treats to seasonal flavors like the Fudge Mint Cookie™ creation, fresh reasons to visit are introduced regularly. Product development and marketing support for these promotions are managed centrally, so franchise owners can focus on serving customers and growing their stores.
