An established brand guideline is a cornerstone for uniformity in communications. Consider developing image libraries, defining ideal lighting and mood for stock visuals, and establishing a design style for icons and illustrations. You also need to ensure all communications follow a tone and voice which aligns with the mother brand. A great way to manage this is to share templates for social media posts, responses, and reviews with franchisees.
