Hatfield Franchise Owner Recognized by International Franchise Association
Billboard Comppany Helps Arrest Criminals
November 15, 2007
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Doug Reed, franchisees of Hatfield, Pa. Billboard Connection, was honored by the International Franchise Association as a Franchisee of the Year.
The award is given to IFA-member company franchisees to honor them for their outstanding performance and the contributions they have made to enhance the growth and development of the nation’s franchising industry.
Billboard Connection is an advertising agency specializing exclusively in the sale of outdoor advertising such as billboards, bus shelters, cinema media, mall kiosks, mobile billboards, airport displays, sports stadiums, bus wraps and taxi tops.
Local Billboard Connection franchisee, Doug Reed, services most of Pennsylvania including the Philadelphia metro area. The company has seen tremendous success, recently generating press as a result of its efforts to help the Allentown city government catch felons by installing a large digital display billboard in the middle of downtown with photos of those wanted.
The IFA Franchisee of the Year Awards were presented during the IFA’s Eighth Annual Franchise Appreciation Day celebration in the nation’s capital. As the association’s primary grassroots lobbying effort, Franchise Appreciation Day offers meetings between franchisees and franchise systems and congressional lawmakers and staff to discuss key issues facing the franchise industry, such as small-business health plans, immigration reform, wages and tax burdens.
Staying in touch with Congress is a priority for the franchising community, which continues to expand. According to an IFA Educational Foundation study conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers, there are more than 760,000 U.S. franchised businesses that provide jobs for more than 18 million Americans and contribute more than $1.53 trillion to the U.S. economy.
Founded nearly 50 years ago, the IFA promotes and strives to protect franchising worldwide. The association, whose membership includes nearly 10,000 franchisees and 1,300 franchise companies, is the leading source of due-diligence information for prospective franchise investors.
