FranchiseWorks.com | Through Franchise Payments Network, Yogurt Franchise Menchie’s Reaches Milestone with Loyalty Program. mySmileage™  Loyalty and Email Marketing Program Reaches 750,000 Participants in Six Months.

(Orlando, FL) – Franchise Payments Network (FPN), the only credit card processing company that focuses entirely on the franchise industry, has announced its most successful rewards program to date with Menchie’s, the nation’s fastest growing self-serve frozen yogurt franchise chain.

The mySmileage program, created and developed in partnership with FPN and Menchie’s, offers a unique spin on its loyalty program much like traditional frequent flier programs that airline companies offer consumers. Through a simple online signup at menchies.com, members of the mySmileage program earn one “Smile” for every dollar spent in stores. Each time a guest earns 50 “Smiles,” Menchie’s automatically loads $5 in Menchie’s money onto their mySmileage card.

FPN, which provides Menchie’s the credit card, gift card and loyalty program service, is pleased with the program’s growing participation, reaching 750,000 participants in the first six months.

“As the developers for the mySmileage model, we set out to create an innovative yet simplistic approach to the Menchie’s loyalty program,” said Tom Epstein, president and CEO of Franchise Payments Network. “Our client wanted a program that was hassle-free to its fan base but provided immediate benefits and consistently drove traffic to its stores.”

Through the program, guests can pick up their mySmileage cards at Menchie’s stores, receiving both a plastic wallet card and key chain card presented in a “Passport” with an explanation of the program. At the time of payment, guests can present their card or provide the cell phone number they registered with to earn smiles.

“The loyalty program designed for Menchie’s is one of the most unique and effortless programs offered to consumers in the QSR sector,” said Amit Kleinberger, CEO of Menchie’s Global Headquarters. “Through the mySmileage program, we are increasing our ability to connect with our fan base and further establish brand loyalty while also reinforcing our mission to bring smiles to our guests.”

Ranked by Entrepreneur Magazine as one of the fastest growing industries, pet care services are booming with over 77 million dogs owned by over 45 million US Households alone.

ABOUT K-9 RESORTS
K-9 RESORTS DAYCARE & LUXURY HOTEL was founded in 2005 by brothers Steve and Jason Parker in Fanwood, N.J. When in their early teens, their parents denied them a dog of their own, so the entrepreneurial pair opened a professional pet-sitting business to prove they were not only willing, but ready to care for a dog. That business not only became a highly profitable enterprise that they sold for a six-figure sum in 2006, that revenue became the expansion fuel for their thriving K-9 Resorts business. The business, which is the only facility in New Jersey to have been rated Number 1 by multiple major publications, is now positioned for franchise growth throughout the Northeast U.S. K-9 Resorts was ranked Number 1 in its category by the Courier News and by New Jersey Monthly.

FranchiseWorks.com | Tax Preparation Franchise Liberty Tax’s Franchise Opportunity is Ranked a Top Franchise Opportunity for Hispanics.

(Virginia Beach, VA)  For a fifth time, Tax Preparation Franchise Liberty Tax Service has been named on the elite list of “Best Franchises for Hispanics” published by Poder 360, formerly Hispanic Enterprise magazine.  The rankings were based on surveys conducted with over 3,500 franchisors to determine the number of Hispanic-owned franchise offices and top managers who are Hispanic.

“It is our goal to continue to offer an affordable chance at the American dream of business ownership to all enterprising persons who are ready to embrace our proven Liberty operating system, and be aggressive competitors in this industry,” said Liberty Tax Service CEO and Founder John Hewitt.

In 2004, Liberty Tax Service launched a Hispanic Services Division to provide better communications, understanding, and customer service to its existing and emerging Hispanic communities across the United States. Franchise owners are trained to cover issues that specifically pertain to Hispanic taxpayers, and take responsibility for going the extra mile to assist clients with navigating through the steps of the Federal tax filing system and ITIN preparation.  To foster education as a key component to the growth and economic strength of  Latino communities in the United States, the Hispanic Services Division created the Una Familia Sin Fronteras educational initiative and Foundation. An alliance with the White House Initiative Team has been instrumental in bringing vital education resources to the Hispanic communities served by Liberty Tax Service.

“As a Latina, I am very impressed with Liberty’s sincere commitment to provide Hispanics with business growth opportunities,” says Martee Pierson, Director of Diversity Programs for Liberty Tax Service and Executive Director of the company’s Una Familia Sin Fronteras Foundation that provides fiscal and financial education to Hispanics across the nation. “Through our unique, multi-level corporate Hispanic educational initiative — Una Famlia Sin Fronteras (A Family Without Boundaries), in tandem with the efforts of our Foundation by the same name, Liberty has successfully reached hundreds of thousands of Latinos across the U.S. with vital fiscal and financial information that will help them thrive instead of just survive in the U.S. Liberty was the first corporation to create this type of consistent national educational outreach program to our Hispanics and the only company to create a Foundation to directly support its efforts. It’s quite obvious that we take our commitment to the advancement and growth of our emerging-majority, Hispanic population as a great deal more than just lip service,” she explains.

About Liberty Tax Service
Liberty Tax Service is the fastest-growing retail tax preparation company in the industry’s history.  Founded in 1997 by CEO John T. Hewitt, a pioneer in the tax industry, Liberty Tax Service has prepared over 9,000,000 individual income tax returns.  With 42 years of tax industry experience, Hewitt stands as the most experienced CEO in the tax preparation business, having also founded Jackson Hewitt Tax Service.

Liberty Tax Service is the only tax franchise on the Forbes “Top 20 Franchises to Start,” and ranks #1 of the tax franchises on the Entrepreneur “Franchise 500.” Each office provides computerized income tax preparation, electronic filing, and online filing through eSmart Tax.
