Marketing Support

Häagen-Dazs supplies both national and local marketing support to all franchisees to ensure their store is top of mind for all potential customers. As a Häagen-Dazs Shops franchisee, you will receive customized national campaign promotional materials, local store marketing toolkits as well as access to our system-wide loyalty program. The Häagen-Dazs in-house marketing team is part of your ongoing support system to help drive customer traffic and increased sales.

Franchisees benefit from multiple national marketing campaigns annually. These campaigns typically revolve around new flavor introductions, seasonal holidays, innovative new creations, and their famous Free Cone Day. Häagen-Dazs franchisees receive ongoing marketing and operational support through a designated Franchise Business Manager (FBM). Each FBM is your corporate partner who will be able to help you generate and implement local marketing ideas specific for your trade area. They are also there to guide you in operating your business as efficiently as possible to help you maximize profitability potential and operate at a level that is consistent with the brand standards.

The company offers inventory and labor control assistance, product mix and food cost analysis, a customer concern hotline, and business planning support. Additionally, our national and regional meetings put franchisees in touch with other owners from all over the country to facilitate growth and ongoing success.
