Franchises and Buying Groups FAQs
What is EvolutionXGEN?
EvolutionXGEN is a complete ecommerce solution for buying groups, trade associations, organizations, and franchises. Members of each type of group have individual webstores with unique URLs and branding. The product catalog and marketing across all stores are centrally managed.
How does EvolutionXGEN work?
EvolutionXGEN allows groups and franchises to centrally manage multiple websites (child stores) from one single location (the parent store).
Steps:
- A buying group, trade organization, franchise, or manufacturer is set up with a parent store.
- The group's child stores are created and connected to the parent store.
- When changes are made in the parent store, those changes will automatically reflect in the connected child stores.
What kinds of content can be passed from an EvolutionXGEN parent store to a child store?
From their parent store, buying groups, trade associations, organizations, and franchises can fuel their members’ child stores with:
- Product content
- Marketing banners
- Promotions
- Product merchandising
How can buying groups, trade associations, and co-ops benefit from EvolutionXGEN?
Buying groups, trade associations, and co-ops can empower members by leveraging the strength of the group.
Through a centrally managed store supported by the group, members can have an online presence without taking on the responsibility of maintaining all their website content.
Each member can have their own beautifully designed and individually branded B2B ecommerce store at an affordable price point.
How can franchises, franchisees, and franchise associations benefit from EvolutionXGEN?
EvolutionXGEN provides franchise owners with the power to maintain their brand and consistency standards across all franchise websites.
Franchise products, merchandising, and promotions can be managed centrally from one portal and will automatically update on all franchise location webstores.
Franchisees can benefit by having their own unique online selling channel without having to maintain the website themselves.
How much does EvolutionXGEN cost?
The cost of EvolutionXGEN varies based on several factors including the size of the buying group, trade association, organizations, or franchise, the number of child stores, and any desired customizations.
In general, the more child stores you maintain, the lower the cost per store. This model creates a very low ecommerce cost to entry.
Do all EvolutionXGEN websites look the same?
No, not at all! Each EvolutionXGEN child store can have its own unique look and branding. We don’t simply add a company’s logo and call it a day. Instead, every member can design their own website that fits the unique needs of their brand while still harnessing the benefits of the group.
